Distribution Coefficient of Dâ‚‚O Between Triethylamine and Water

Description: Summary: "Water containing 1.8% D2O was distributed between the two liquid phases formed with triethylamine at 20 and 35 C. The triethylamine was removed from each phase by aseotropic distillation with benzene before analyzing the water by determining its density with a quartz float. The ratios of the concentrations of the D2O in the water layer to that in the amino layer were 1.007 and 1.004 at 20 and 35, respectfully. The differences from unity are about the same as the errors of analysis."

Classified information required by operators and others exposed to radiation hazards

Description: Information required by operators exposed to radiation hazards is discussed. All areas of the plant are subjected to radiation hazards similar to those in the radium industry. Personnel in these areas are required to wear pencil meters and special badges that are evidently not solely for identification. They are required to submit to medical examinations more stringent and frequent than usual. They are required to wear heavy gloves in one location, thin gloves in another, disposable hats or rub… more

A method of analysis of V-G records from transport operations

Description: A method has been developed for interpreting v-g records taken during the course of commercial transport operation. This method involves the utilization of fairly simple statistical procedures to obtain "flight envelopes," which predict that, on the average, in a stated number of flight hours, one value of airspeed will exceed the envelope, and one positive and one negative acceleration increment will exceed the envelope with equal probability of being experienced at any airspeed. Comparison wi… more

Correlation of cylinder-head temperatures and coolant heat rejections of a multicylinder, liquid-cooled engine of 1710-cubic-inch displacement

Description: "Data obtained from an extensive investigation of the cooling characteristics of four multicylinder, liquid-cooled engines have been analyzed and a correlation of both the cylinder-head temperatures and the coolant heat rejections with the primary engine and coolant variables was obtained. The method of correlation was previously developed by the NACA from an analysis of the cooling processes involved in a liquid-cooled-engine cylinder and is based on the theory of nonboiling, forced-convection… more

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Sweepback on the Flutter of a Uniform Cantilever Wing With a Variably Located Concentrated Mass

Description: Report presenting data from 95 subsonic flutter tests conducted in the flutter research tunnel on untapered cantilever wings with sweepback angles of 0, 45, and 60 degrees and carrying a single concentrated weight. The primary purpose of the investigation was to present experimental information to be used to evaluate analytical procedures for determining the flutter speed of weighted sweptback wings. The dynamic pressure, flutter velocity, Mach number, natural and flutter frequencies, and phase… more

Flight Investigation at High-Subsonic, Transonic, and Supersonic Speeds to Determine Zero-Lift Drag of Bodies of Revolution Having Fineness Ratio of 6.04 and Varying Positions of Maximum Diameter

Description: Report presenting a flight investigation of rocket-powered models at high-subsonic, transonic, and supersonic speeds to determine the zero-lift drag of fin-stabilized bodies of revolution differing in maximum diameter. All bodies had 6.04 fineness ratio and cut-off sterns with equal base area. The most favorable location out of the 20-percent, 40-percent, and 60-percent positions were evaluated for different speeds.

Investigation of Fretting by Microscopic Observation

Description: "An experimental investigation, using microscopic observation and color motion photomicrographs of the action, was conducted to determine the cause of fretting. Glass and other noncorrosive materials, as well as metals, were used as specimens. A very simple apparatus vibrated convex surfaces in contact with stationary flat surfaces at frequencies of 120 cycles or less than l cycle per second, an amplitude of 0.0001 inch, and load of 0.2 pound" (p. 135).

A radar method of calibrating airspeed installations on airplanes in maneuvers at high altitudes and at transonic and supersonic speeds

Description: A method of calibrating the static-pressure source of a pitot static airspeed installation on an airplane in level flight, dives, and other maneuvers at high altitude and at transonic and supersonic speeds is described. The method principally involves the use of radar-phototheodolite tracking equipment. The various sources of error in the method are discussed and sample calibrations are included.
