Low Mass Francium and Emanation Isotopes of High AlphaStability

Description: Isotopes of francium with 126 or fewer neutrons have been looked for in bombardments of Th{sup 232} with 350 Mev protons from the 184-inch cyclotron. Fr{sup 212} with an apparent half-life of 19.3 minutes for branching decay by alpha emission (44%) to At{sup 208} and by orbital electron capture (56%) to Em{sup 212} has been found. Em{sup 212} is shown to be a 23-minute alpha-emitter. At{sup 208} decays primarily (99.5%) by orbital electron capture to Po{sup 208}, but shows 0.5% alpha-branching.… more

Preparation of Ductile Zirconium: Progress Report for September 1949

Description: Abstract: A report was submitted describing the apparatus which is proposed for further dissociation experiments and approval for necessary construction was requested. While awaiting approval, detailed designs were completed and some experimental work necessary for this design was carried out. The casting equipment was modified in accordance with experimental work for casting of zirconium. The apparatus was tested and it was found possible to form and withdraw and ingot of zirconium.

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Tests of a 1/24-Scale Model of the Grumman XF9F-2 Airplane with Wing-Tip Tanks Installed

Description: "An investigation of the spin and recovery characteristics of a 1/24-scale model of the Grumman XF9F-2 airplane with wing-tip tanks installed has been conducted-in the Langley 20-foot free-spinning tunnel. The effects of control settings and movements on the erect spin and recovery characteristics of the model for a range of possible loadings of the tip tanks were determined. Spin and recovery characteristics without tanks were determined in a previous investigation" (p. 1).

Turbine-rotor-blade designs based on one-dimensional-flow theory 1: performance of single-stage turbine having 40-percent reaction

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a family of turbine-rotor-blade designs based on one-dimensional-flow theory and incorporating systematic changes in design variables. They were designed for 40-percent reaction and a total-to-static pressure ratio of 4.00 based on the assumption of constant static pressure along the radius and one-dimensional-flow theory for the design of the rotor-blade passages.

High-subsonic damping-in-roll characteristics of a wing with the quarter-chord line swept back 35 degrees and with aspect ratio 3 and taper ratio 0.6

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the damping-in-roll characteristics of a 35 degree sweptback wing, with and without vertical fins, through a range of Mach numbers in the high speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel utilizing a free-to-roll technique. The damping-in-roll coefficient increased in magnitude with Mach number in the manner indicated by theory and generally was found to increase in magnitude with angle of attack over the range tested.

Low-Speed Investigation of Aileron and Spoiler Characteristics of a Wing Having 42 Degrees Sweepback of the Leading Edge and Circular-Arc Airfoil Sections at Reynolds Numbers of Approximately 6.0 X 10(Exp 6)

Description: Report presenting a low-speed investigation to determine the effectiveness of a conventional aileron and various spanwise spoiler arrangements on a 42 degree sweptback wing. The rolling-moment characteristics of the aileron and the spoilers, as well as the aileron hinge-moment, normal-force, and balance-chamber pressure characteristics were determined for a plain wing and a wing equipped with several high-lift and stall-control devices.

Heat-transfer and boundary-layer transition on a heated 20 degree cone at a Mach number of 1.53

Description: Heat-transfer data from supersonic wind-tunnel tests of a heated 20 degree cone are compared with theoretical results obtained by the method for determining the convective heat transfer in laminar boundary layers in a compressible fluid developed by Hantzche and Wendt and with the method presented in NACA TN No. 1300. The experimental data are also compared with the results obtained by Eber at the Kochel Laboratory in Germany and it is found that Eber's results correspond to those obtained with… more
