Accelerator Development Department Internal Report

Description: In this report we present solutions of the design problem in which a system of quadruple lenses is required to carry a particle beam from given focal lines in the x and y planes to other given focal lines. Particular attention will be given to the case of the anastigmatic lens system which takes a beam from one focal point to another focal point. Since the general problem is almost impossibly complicated a simplification is introduced by breaking the lens system into two parts. The first part o… more

A Rapid Beam Deflector for the Brookhaven AGS

Description: An air cored pulse deflection coil has been constructed for the Brookhaven AGS. The system produces a deflecting pulse with a peak radial deflection of 2.5 cms and duration of 70 microseconds. Beam spill duration of 15 to 50 microseconds from the target is readily achieved. One deflector has given satisfactory service for over a year and a second unit has been installed this summer.

Investigation of Surge Characteristics of XJ34-WE-32 Turbojet Engine

Description: Surge characteristics of the XJ34-WE-32 turbojet engine were determined over a range of altitudes. Several typical oscillograph traces during which surge occurred are presented. The effect of altitude on the surge line and it's relation to the steady-state operating region are shown.

Borehole Gravity Meter Observations in Drill Hole UCe-18, Hot Creek Valley, Nye County, Nevada

Description: Abstract: "Drill hole UCe-18 was successfully logged with the U.S. Geological Survey-La Coste Romberg borehole gravity meter to a depth of 6,488 feet. That density increases with depth is apparent in both the alluvium and volcanic rock. The in situ density of the alluvium measured by the gravity meter ranges from 1.77 to 2.34 gm/cc; the lake beds beneath the alluvium have a density of 2.22 gm/cc; and the rhyolitic rocks range in density from 2.26 to 2.47 gm/cc. The average density determined fr… more

Characteristics of a 15-Percent-Chord and a 35-Percent-Chord Plain Flap on the NACA 0006 Airfoil Section at High Subsonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting wind-tunnel tests to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a 15-percent- and a 35-percent-chord plain trailing-edge flap on the NACA 0006 airfoil section. Simultaneous measurements of section lift, drag, and pitching moment were made over a range of Mach numbers, angles of attack, and flap deflections.

Sea-Level Performance Tests of a 22-Inch-Diameter Pulse-Jet Engine at Various Simulated Ram Pressures

Description: Report on sea-level performance tests of a 22-inch-diameter pulse-jet engine on a thrust stand. The tests were conducted at several ram pressures and the entire range of fuel flows that the engine can operate at. Information about the maximum-thrust operation, operating frequency, maximum combustion chamber pressures, and operating lives is provided.

Tables of Spectral-Line Intensities: Part 2, Arranged by Wavelengths

Description: From Abstract: "Comparisons with other intensity measurements in individual spectra indicate that the National Bureau of Standards spectral-line intensities may have average errors of 20 percent, but first of all they provide uniform quantitative values for the seventy chemical elements commonly determined by spectrochemists. These data are presented by element in part I, and all 39,000 observed lines are given in order of wavelength in part II."

Analysis of turbomachine viscous losses affected by changes in blade geometry

Description: From Introduction: "This report also presents a method of optimizing the blade number and solidity for a given application if the blade loss variation with solidity can be estimated or experimentally determined. Also discussed are the penalties in performance that accompany deviations from optimum values of blade number and solidity."

Nonmetallic Material Compatibility with Liquid Fluorine

Description: Static tests were made on the compatibility of liquid fluorine with several nonmetallic materials at -3200 F and at pressures of 0 and 1500 pounds per square inch gage. The results are compared with those from previous work with gaseous fluorine at the same pressures, but at atmospheric temperature. In general, although environmental effects were not always consistent, reactivity was least with the low-temperature, low-pressure liquid fluorine. Reactivity was greatest with the warm, high-pressu… more

Component performance investigation of J71 experimental turbine 6: effect of first-stator adjustment; over-all performance of J71-97 turbine with 70-percent-design stator area

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the effect of first-stator area changes on the overall component performance of the J71-97 experimental turbine. The performance of the turbine with the first-stator area reduced to 70 percent of design by reorienting the stagger angle of the design blade profiles is presented. Results regarding the overall performance, choking characteristics, and matching characteristics are provided.

Internal Performance of Several Divergent-Shroud Ejector Nozzles with High Divergence Angles

Description: From Summary: "Nine divergent-shroud ejector configurations were investigated to determine the effect of shroud divergence angle on ejector internal performance. Unheated dry air was used for both the primary and secondary flows. The decrease in the design-point thrust coefficient with increasing flow divergence angle (angle measured from primary exit to shroud exit) followed very closely a simple relation involving the cosine of the angle. This indicates that design-point thrust performance fo… more

Investigation of a continuous normal-shock positioning control for a translating-spike supersonic inlet in combination with J34 turbojet engine

Description: From Summary: "Use of a normal-shock positioning control was demonstrated at Mach numbers of 1.8 and 2.0 for a translating-spike supersonic inlet in combination with a J34 turbojet engine. Stable operation of the control was obtained which can be partly attributed to a nonlinearity in the servo valve in the null region."
