High-Energy Physics with Hydrogen Bubble Chambers

Description: Five years ago, our laboratory undertook to adapt the bubble chamber, newly invented by Glaser, to operation with liquid hydrogen, and in large sizes. It was hoped taht this development would yield important new experimental data when the Bevatron was completed. Accompanying papers by other members of the hydrogen bubble chamber group describe the various chambers built in the five year period and the asociated data-reduction apparatus that is needed for efficient utilization of the chambers.

Equipment And Methods For Automatic Track Analysis

Description: The writer has initiated a comprehensive program of equipment development designed to give the maximum practical aid to the physicists and technicians who are carrying out track measurements. Some attention has also been given to developing systems of data handling using International Business Machine (IBM) equipment and Keysort cards. In addition, some of the steps to insure the accuracy of the emulsion data are taken long before the emulsion is studied under the microscope.

COST COMPARISONS OF CAPITOL INVESTMENT IN VARIOUS NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS FOR CENTRAL STATION APPLICATION

Description: The capital costs for a number of power reactors are compared after escalation to equivalent construction dates. It is shown that the most important factor affecting nuclear power plant capital costs is the net capacity of the plant. Steam conditions are shown to have a relatively minor effect on capital costs.

Correlation of Polarographic Walf-Wave Potentials With Nuclear Magnetic Resonance "Chemical Shifts." Parallel Correlation With Chemical Reactivity Parameters. Report No. 35

Description: Since nuclear magnetic resonance ''chemical shifts'' are considered to be good measures of electron densities in molecules, the extent to which they can be correlated with the polarographic half-wave potentials of organic compounds has been surveyed. To extend the applicability and interpretation of the proposed correlation, parallel correlatioan of E, with Hammett's sigma and Taft's sigma parameters were made, since both of the latter are also regarded as indication of electronic distrinution … more

Fast-Neutron Flux Measurements in the ORNL Graphite Reactor Shield

Description: In a study of the nuclear and physical properties of the concrete shield of the ORNL Graphite Reactor measurements were made of the fast-neutron fluxes in a hole through the shield. These fluxes were not incinded in the formal report of the study (ORNL-2195) since several uncertainties associated with the measurements made the absolute values unreliable. The attenuation curves at one energy may be reasonably accurate, however. (auth)

Preliminary Analysis of Hydrogen-Rich Hypersonic Ramjet Operation

Description: Report discussing findings on net thrust, fuel flow, and related performance indices for hydrogen-rich operation of nacelle-type and submerged ramjet engines at various Mach numbers. Testing concluded that the system could be helpful in a flight path involving acceleration from low to high flight speeds. Some trends of the effect of the operation conditions are noted, but no conclusions are drawn because of the preliminary nature of the report.

THE EFFECT OF PRIMARY ALPHA ON THE BETA DECOMPOSITION OF ZIRCONIUM-URANIUM- OXYGEN ALLOYS

Description: The effect of primary alpha present during the solutiontreating cycle on the incubation period for the decomposition of beta and on the resultant structure has been determined for Zr-base alloys containing from 7 to 15 wt.% U and from 0.094 to 0.29 wt.% 0. Prior-existing alpha decreased the time at which precipitation of Widmanstgtten alpha started and increased the rate of precipitation. The microstructure of transformed alloys was correlated with tentative isothermal-transformation diagrams. … more

Prescoping Optimization for Selection of Enriched Uranium Gas-Cooled Power Reactor Design

Description: A preliminary set of performance calculations were made for enriched reactor cores based on five cylindrical vessel designs ranging from13 to 36 feet in diameter. The capital costs per kilowatt of electrical plant output as shown in Table II indicate than an economic optimum selection of pressure vessel size should be either the 25 foot or the 36 foot vessel.

Effects of Boattail Area Contouring and Simulated Turbojet Exhaust on the Loading and Fuselage-Tail Component Drag of a Twin-Engine Fighter-Type Airplane Model

Description: "An investigation of a twin-engine fighter-type airplane model has been conducted in the Langley 16-foot transonic tunnel to determine the effect on drag of a fuselage volume addition incorporating streamline contouring and more extensive boattailing of the engine shrouds. The effect of hot exhausts from the turbojet engines was simulated with hydrogen peroxide gas generators using scaled nonafterburning engine nozzles. Afterbody pressure distributions, base drag coefficients, and forces on the… more

The Compatibility of a Number of Metals and Alloys With Graphite

Description: The interaction between graphite and a number of metals and alloys was studied at 1850 deg F in 250-hr tests. Some materials were also tested at 1650 and 1850 deg F in 1000-hr tests. The graphite was heated in intimate contact with the test metal in welded metallic capsules. The exen of the reaction was judged on the basis of metallographic examinations and hardness traverses on cross sections of the reacted elements. Copper was the least reactive material tested in contact with graphite. Nicke… more

Description: Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation performed in the high-speed tunnel to study the effect of wing sweep and taper ratio on spoiler-slot-deflector control effectiveness. All of the wings tested were aspect-ratio-4 and had NACA 65A004 airfoil sections as well as a variety of sweep angles, taper ratios, and spoiler projections. The results are presented without analysis.

A PRELIMINARY SURVEY OF SOME FLUORIDE COMPOUNDS - II

Description: These two parts were issued separately, but are cataloged as a unit. The two compounds Na/sub 4/U/sub 3/F/sub 17/ and Na/sub 3/Th/sub 2/F/sub 11/ were found to have a face-centered cubic structure. From parameter dimensions and intensity values these two compounds appear to be isomorphous. Na/sub 5/U/sub 3/F/sub 17/ has an identical cell size with alpha -Na/sub 2//UF/sub 6/. A group of three compounds (Rb/sub 2/ThF/sub Rb/sub 2/ZrF/sub 6/, and CsZrF/sub 6/) were reliably identified as being uni… more

Application of neutron monitors to process control in Recuplex. Status report

Description: A program was. initiated early in 1957 to develop a neutron monitor capable of detecting plutonium (Pu) concentration in process vessels in Recuplex. This followed an earlier application by Finished Products Operation and Research and Engineering of neutron monitoring to powder counting which had been successful and was being regularly used. The process vessel monitoring was to be done by the ``in tank probe`` method, utilizing the monitored solution as its own-moderator, and detecting the resu… more
