Aerodynamic characteristics of NACA RM-10 missile in 8- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel at Mach numbers from 1.49 to 1.98 1: presentation and analysis of pressure measurements (stabilizing fins removed)

Description: Experimental investigation of flow about a slender body of revolution (NACA RM-10 missile) aligned and inclined to a supersonic stream was conducted at Mach numbers from 1.49 to 1.98 at a Reynolds number of approximately 30,000,000. Boundary-layer measurements at zero angle of attack are correlated with subsonic formulations for predicting boundary-layer thickness and profile. Comparison of pressure coefficients predicted by theory with experimental values showed close agreement at zero angle o… more

THE CHOICE OF THE PROPER REFRACTORY FOR THE CASTING OF HIGHMELTING ELECTROPOSITIVE METALS

Description: As titanium, zirconium, and other of the high melting electropositive metals become more important, the problem of using suitable refractory materials for their casting becomes more important. This paper discusses the method of choosing and testing possible container materials. To make the discussion more specific, titanium is used as an example. As titanium melt at 2000 {+-} 10 K, it is immediately clear that one is restricted to refractory materials melting considerably above 2000 K. This gre… more

The crystal structure of thorium nitrate

Description: From introduction: "Studies were made of single crystals of thorium nitrate hydrate which we had available in this laboratory and from these we were able to determine the unit cell and find the thorium positions. These crystals contain on the order of six water molecules per thorium atom, but the exact composition is in some doubt."

Ditching Tests of a 1/18-Scale Model of the Lockheed Constellation Airplane

Description: "Tests were made of a 1/18-scale dynamically similar model of the Lockheed Constellation airplane to investigate its ditching characteristics and proper ditching technique. Scale-strength bottoms were used to reproduce probable damage to the fuselage. The model was landed in calm water at the Langley tank no. 2 monorail. Various landing attitudes, speeds, and fuselage configurations were simulated" (p. 1).

Effect of ram-jet pressure pulsations on supersonic-diffuser performance

Description: Experimental study of effects of combustion roughness and controlled mechanical oscillations on diffuser operation was conducted on an 8-inch ram jet at Mach number 1.87. Within experimental accuracy, the optimum mean combustion-chamber static pressure occurred when the maximum instantaneous static pressure equalled the optimum steady-flow value and the corresponding decrement in optimum mean static pressure was equal to one-half the total amplitude of the pressure pulsations. A marked attenuat… more

Effect of Various Modifications on Drag and Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics at Transonic Speeds of a Model of the XF7U-1 Tailless Airplane: NACA Wing-FLow Method, TED No. NACA DE 307

Description: From Summary: "An investigation was made by the NACA wing-flow method to determine the drag, pitching-moment, lift, and angle-of-attack characteristics at transonic speeds of various configurations of a semispan model of an early configuration of the XF7U-1 tailless airplane. The results of the tests indicated that for the basic configuration with undeflected ailavator, the zero-lift drag rise occurred at a Mach number of about 0.85 and that about a five-fold increase in drag occurred through t… more

The External-Shock Drag of Supersonic Inlets Having Subsonic Entrance Flow

Description: Memorandum presenting a determination of the external-shock drags of supersonic inlets with circular cross sections from shadow photographs at a Mach number of 2.70 for a low-external-compression and a high-external-compression inlet. The calculated mass flow for both types of inlets showed reasonably good agreement with the measured values. Results as determined by the characteristics method and the approximate method are provided.

Ferrous Sulfamate Stability in the RA System

Description: Objective: "The observations summarized in the present report were made to determine the stability of ferrous and sulfamate ions and sulfamic acid in RA Column scrub solution (RAS) and in aqueous solution comparable to the RA Column feed tee composition (RAFS). Knowledge of the stability of the reducing agent (ferrous iron) is necessary to properly plan the method of preparation and introduction of this component into the RA system and to assure dependable and reproducible performance."

THE FIRST ISOLATION OF AMERICIUM IN THE FORM OF PURE COMPOUNDS - THE SPECIFIC ALPHA-ACTIVITY AND HALF-LIFE OF Am241

Description: The microgram scale isolation and preparation of pure compounds of americium is described. Data are presented to show that the alpha-half-life of the isotope Am{sup 241} is 490 {+-} 14 years. The absorption spectrum of Am(III) in 1M nitric acid in the range 3500-8000 mu is given. The wave lengths of 10 of the most prominent lines in the copper spark emission spectrum of americium are given to the nearest 0.01 {angstrom}. Evidence is presented to show that the potential for the Am(III)-Am(IV) co… more

Lift and moment characteristics at subsonic Mach numbers of four 10-percent-thick airfoil sections of varying trailing-edge thickness

Description: Report presenting the results of a wind-tunnel investigation of the lift and moment characteristics of four 10-percent-thick circular-arc airfoil sections. Increases in the trailing-edge thickness were found to result in increases in maximum lift coefficient and lift-curve slope at all Mach numbers as well as increases in lift-divergence Mach number at all lift coefficients.

A Low-Temperature Calorimetric Cryostat

Description: A low temperature adiabatic cryostat for determining precise calorimetric data has been described. The accuracy of the data produced by this apparatus has been established by measuring the thermal properties of n-hexane up to 300 deg K. These data agree with available precise data, in general, to within 0.2%. The precision of the heat capacity measurements is, for the most part, better than 0.1%. (auth)
