Theoretical Investigation of the Effects of the Artificial-Feel System on the Maneuvering Characteristics of the F-89 Airplane

Description: The possibility of overshooting the anticipated normal acceleration as a result of the artificial-feel characteristics of the F-89C airplane at a condition of minimum static stability was investigated analytically by means of an electronic simulator. Several methods of improving the stick-force characteristics were studied. It is shown that, due to the lag in build-up of the portion of the stick force introduced by the bobweight, it would be possible for excessive overshoots of normal accelerat… more

Metallurgical Examination of HRT Leak Detector Tubing and Flanges

Description: After several failures had occurred in the HRT leak detector system, several lengths of this tubing were removed for metallurgical examination. The tubing was of type 304 stainless steel and was 1/4" in diameter with a 0.065 wall. The tubing had been purchased as three different lots, the first in 45 ft. lengths and the other two as standards lengths. Tubing from the first lot was used primarily for the shield penetration and, therefore, sections of it are present in all lines of the system. It… more

State of Matter at High Pressure

Description: Abstract. The region where exact thermodynamic description of the state of matter at high pressure and high temperature is possible is located. In the remaining region various approximate theories and empirical relations are discussed. These considerations are applied to hydrogen to locate the density and pressure at which the diatomic bond collapses. Also the approximate conditions are determined at which no bound electron states exist.

Thorium Isotopes Method for Dating Marine Sediments

Description: This thesis is concerned with a possible method of improving the well-known ionium method of age determination of deep-sea sediment sections (Pet-53, Zou-58, Kul-55, Ran-54) both with respect to accuracy of individual determinations and with respect to the range of applicability of the method.

Steady State Temperature Distributions in Hollow Slugs

Description: This document is a sequel to HW-30226, "Steady State Temperature Distribution in a Solid Slug." A primary feature of the present as well as the former paper is a treatment of the stand heat flow equation in a manner which accounts accurately for the dependence of the thermal conductivity, K, on temperature, v.

Acute Radiotoxicity of Injected Yttrium91

Description: Report describing results of experiments that involved injecting radioactive yttrium into animals: "The excretion, retention, and distribution of the yttrium was measured, and its effect on survival and growth was observed. The average total excretion of Y91 to the time of death (from 76 hours to 24 days) was a little less than 30 per cent of the injected dose" (p. 2).

Behavior of Polyvalent Metallic Ions in 100% Acetic Acid Reactions of Rare Earth Compounds in Acetic Acid

Description: "The solution of a polymeric oxide such as a rare earth oxide in protonic solvents such as acetic acid may be regarded as a steo-wise process involving rupture of Ln-O-Ln linkages, to form "hydroxyacetates" of varying molecular size and complexity. Intermediate oxo-hydroxo-brdiges aggregates could therefore be formed by solvolysis processes. Further reaction with acetic acid could effect dehydration of such "hydroxyacetates", to yield oxo-bridged acetates, Ln2O(OAc).

Gas-Phase Radiolysis of Propane

Description: Abstract. the direct and inert-gas radiolysis, as well as the vacuum ultra-violet photolysis of CD3CH2CD3, CH3CD2CH3 and C3H2+C3D3 mixtures have been investigated in the presence of radical scavengers. The major conclusions are : (a) at atmospheric pressures, neutral propane decomposition contributes to the observed products although to a lesser extent than parent ion decompositions ; (b) a variation in pressure has a pronounced effect on the fragmentation of the parent ion ; (c) the hydrogen a… more

High Speed Stability and Control Characteristics of a 0.17-Scale Model of the McDonnell XF2H-1 Airplane (TED No. NACA DE 318)

Description: "High-speed wind-tunnel tests were conducted of two versions of a 0.17-scale model of the McDonnell XF2H-1 airplane to ascertain the high-speed stability and control characteristics and to study means for raising the high-speed buffet limit of the airplane, The results for the revised model, employing a thinner wing and tail than the original model, revealed a mild diving tendency from 0.75 to 0.80 Mach number, followed by a marked climbing tendency from 0.80 to 0.875 Mach number. The high-spee… more

Control Rod Positions for Criticality. Section II. Fourth Performance. Test Results DL-S-149 (T-550130)

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine critical bank heights and bank worths for various rod configurations at normal plant operating temperature and pressure. The critical bank heights and bank worths were determined for various rod configurations after 560 EFPH's of reactor operations are charted in the report.

Determination of Coefficients of Reactivity. Test Results DL-S-151 (T-550132). Section I. Fourth Performance

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the temperature and pressure coefficients of reactivity at sere power. The value for the temperature coefficient at the operating temperature of 523 F with 556.6 EFPH plant operation was 2.5 (delta E/F) x 16(-4). The magnitude of the temperature coefficient at the plant operating temperature (523 F) indicated the reactor is very stable during normal operations. The pressure coefficient varied from values of 1.41(deltaE/psig) x 10(-6) at 1437 psig to a.57… more

Department of Chemical Engineering Progress Report for September 1, 1957 Through June 30, 1958. Part I. Thermal Conductivity of Deuterium Oxide

Description: The thermal conductivity of heavy water was found to vary from 0.345 at 105 deg F through a maximum of 0.375 at about 265 deg F to 0.371 at 339 deg F. The conductivity was determined by a steady-state method in a cylindrical apparatus having an over-all length of 11.35 inches and a liquid layer about 0.061 inch thick. A temperature drop of approximately one degree Fahrenheit across the liquid was maintained. The temperature drop was measured with thermistors. The apparatus was calibrated with l… more
