THEORETICAL ESTIMATE OF MAXIMUM POSSIBLE NUCLEAR EXPLOSION

Description: The maximum nuclear accident which could occur in a Na-cooled, Be moderated, Pu and power producing reactor is estimated theoretically. (T.R.H.) 2O82 Results of nuclear calculations for a variety of compositions of fast, heterogeneous, sodium-cooled, U-235-fueled, plutonium- and power-producing reactors are reported. Core compositions typical of plate-, pin-, or wire-type fuel elements and with uranium as metal, alloy, and oxide were considered. These compositions included atom ratios in the fo… more

Experimental investigation of the effectiveness of various suction-slot arrangements as a means for increasing the maximum lift of the NACA 65(sub 3)-018 airfoil section

Description: Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation to explore the possibility of employing boundary-layer suction slots as a means for delaying laminar separation at the leading edge and turbulent separation over the rear portions of the airfoil section at high lift coefficients. Results regarding lift and drag are explored.

Investigation at high subsonic speeds of a 45 sweptback horizontal tail with plain and horn-balanced control surfaces

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 7- by 10-foot tunnel of the aerodynamic and hinge-moment characteristics of an untapered, aspect ratio 3, semispan horizontal-tail model with 45 degrees of sweepback through a range of Mach numbers. The model was equipped with an unbalanced and a horn-balanced 25-percent-chord elevator.

Application of blade cooling to gas turbines

Description: From Summary: "A review of the status of the knowledge on turbine-blade cooling and a description of pertinent NACA investigations are presented. The current limitations in performance of uncooled and cooled engines are briefly discussed. Finally, the knowledge available and investigations to increase the knowledge on heat transfer, cooling-flow, and performance characteristics of cooled turbines are discussed."

Effect of Nose Shape and Wing Thickness Ratio on the Drag at Zero Lift of a Missile Having Triangular Wings and Tails

Description: "Free-flight tests have been made to determine the drag at zero lift of several configurations of a missile having triangular wings and tails. Base-pressure measurements were also obtained for some of the configurations. The results show that increasing the wing thickness ratio from 4 to 6 percent increased the wing drag by about 100 percent at M = 1.3 and by about 30 percent at M = 1.8" (p. 1).

Fission Product Analysis of Urine

Description: A method has been adapted from ion exchange studies for removal of the fission products, Cs-137, Sr-90, and the rare earths for both untreated urine samples and the supernates from the precipitation steps in the TTA procedure for plutonium. Because of the excessive amount of eluant necessary to separate the fission products and the resulting time required to run a separation, a method was developed to remove the Sr-Y, Ce and Pr by chemical means and Cs from the raffinate of this extraction by i… more

THREE NEW DELAYED ALPHA EMITTERS OF LOW MASS

Description: Two new positron active isotopes, B{sup 8} and Na{sup 20}, have been found to decay to excited states of Be{sup 8} and Ne{sup 20}, which in turn decay 'instantaneously' by alpha emission. Their half-lives are 0.65 {+-} 0.1 sec. and 1/4 sec. respectively. N{sup 12} is also found to have a low energy positron group which leads to an {alpha}-unstable excited state in C{sup 12}. The masses of B{sup 8} and Na{sup 20} are 8.027 and 20.015 respectively. B{sup 8} decays by a 13.7 {+-} 0.3 Mev positron,… more
