Analysis of Heat Transfer and Fluid Friction for Fully Developed Turbulent Flow of Supercritical Water With Variable Fluid Properties in a Smooth Tube

Description: From Summary: "Calculated velocity and temperature distributions, as well as relations among Nusselt number, Reynolds number, and friction factor, are presented. The effect of variation of fluid properties across the tube on the Nusselt number and friction factor correlations can be eliminated by evaluating the properties at a reference temperature which is a function of both the wall temperature and the ratio of wall-to-bulk temperatures."

Calculation of Transport Cross-Sections of Uranium

Description: In recent months, experiments investigating the total, non-elastic, transport, etc., cross-sections of U-238 have been performed. It is the purpose of this memo to examine these data and to obtain from them information which will be of use in refinements pile calculations. In cases, e.g. transport cross-sections, where experimental data do not suffice, the theory developed pertaining to the continuum model of the nucleus has been depended upon. One of the fundamental requirements of this model … more

Comparison of effectiveness of convection-, transpiration-, and film-cooling methods with air as coolant

Description: From Summary: "Various parts of aircraft propulsion engines that are in contact with hot gases often require cooling. Transpiration and film cooling, new methods that supposedly utilize cooling air more effectively than conventional convection cooling, have already been proposed. This report presents material necessary for a comparison of the cooling requirements of these three methods. Correlations that are regarded by the authors as the most reliable today are employed in evaluating each of t… more

Double Crystal X-Ray Spectrometer for Study of Irradiated Materials

Description: For some time, the need has been recognized for an X-ray diffraction unit applicable to studies concerning the crystallographic characteristics of pile irradiated materials. Except for studies involving specimens of low activity, it has been impossible in the past to investigate materials which emit intense beta and gamma radiations. The exact type and degree of irradiation damage to high activity materials has been largely a matter of theoretical conjecture. The object of this report is to … more

Effect of circumferential location on angle of attack performance of twin half-conical scoop-type inlets mounted symmetrically on the RM-10 body of revolution

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of circumstantial inlet location on the performance of twin half-conical scoop-type inlets with and without boundary-layer removal at several Mach numbers and angles of attack. For positive angles of attack, higher pressure recovery performance was obtained with the inlets mounted on lower fuselage quadrants than on upper quadrants.

Effect of diffuser design, diffuser-exit velocity profile and fuel distribution on altitude performance of several afterburner configurations

Description: "An investigation was conducted in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel to improve the altitude performance and operational characteristics of an afterburner primarily by modifying the diffuser-exit velocity profile by changes in diffuser design and by changing the fuel distribution and the flame holder. Twenty configurations, consisting of combinations of six diffuser geometries, six flame-holder types, and twelve fuel systems, were investigated. Data were obtained over a range of afterburner f… more

Electroplates on Thorium

Description: Abstract: "The protection of thorium in hot water was studied. Copper electrocladding on thorium offers promising protection against hot water. The corrosion of thorium in 95 C water was reduced appreciably by a thorium phosphate film. The results of this abbreviated investigation offer a basis for the development of a method of protecting thorium at elevated temperatures in corrosive media."

A flight study of the effects on tracking performance of changes in the lateral-oscillatory characteristics of a fighter airplane

Description: A study of the effects of variations in lateral-oscillatory characteristics on air-to-air tracking performance has been made, using a conventional, propeller-driven fighter airplane equipped with servo devices for varying these characteristics in flight. Tracking runs were made both in smooth air and in simulated rough air. The lateral-oscillation period, damping, and roll coupling were varied over wide ranges during the investigation.

Method of Estimating the Incompressible-Flow Pressure Distribution of Compressor Blade Sections at Design Angle of Attack

Description: Report presenting a method to estimate the incompressible-flow surface pressures of compressor airfoils in cascade at design angle of attack by modifying the known pressure distribution as an isolated airfoil. The interference between airfoils was found to vary in a systematic manner. Testing performed on NACA 65-series compressor blade sections appears to agree with estimated values.

Method of Estimating the Incompressible-Flow Pressure Distribution of Compressor Blade Sections at Design Angle of Attack

Description: "A method was devised for estimating the incompressible-flow pressure distribution over compressor blade sections at design angle of attack. The theoretical incremental velocities due to camber and thickness of the section as an isolated airfoil are assumed proportional to the average passage velocity and are modified by empirically determined interference factors. Comparisons were made between estimated and test pressure distributions of NACA 65-series sections for typical conditions. Good agr… more
