3 Plant Radiation Study Interim Report #5- Part II Data on Gamma Shielding of Special Plutonium Samples

Description: The calculation of shielding the thickness for plutonium is complicated by the many different energies represented in the gamma radiation emitted during decay of the plutonium isotopes. Dose rate predictions are also frequently confused by gamma from varying content of fission product impurities in the plutonium, as well as other gamma radiation induced through alpha and neutron particle absorption within the source material or its environment. After assumptions are made for these many factors… more

190-C pump capacity

Description: The purpose of this document is to update 190-C pump capacity information previous released in HW-52449{sup 1} and HW-58580{sup 2}. Improvements in motor cooling has resulted in raising the previous 3500 HP limit to 3660 HP{sup 3} thus increasing total pumping capacity.

Aerodynamic Characteristics of Four Bodies of Revolution Showing Some Effects of Afterbody Shape and Fineness Ratio at Free-Stream Mach Numbers From 1.50 to 1.99

Description: The effects of fineness ratio (14.2 and 12.2) and boattailing on aerodynamic characteristics of four bodies of revolution at Mach numbers from 1.50 to 1.99 within a range of angles of attack from 0 degrees 10 degrees at an approximate Reynolds number of 35x10(superscript)6 based on body length were investigated. A comparison of experimental data with available theory is included. At zero angle of attack, fineness ratio has no appreciable effect on model characteristics while boattailing and boa… more

Aerodynamic characteristics of two 25-percent-area trailing-edge flaps on an aspect ratio 2 triangular wing at subsonic and supersonic speeds

Description: Report presenting the results of an investigation of flap-type controls on a low-aspect-ratio triangular wing using NACA 0005-63 sections for a constant-chord and a constant-percent-chord control surface. Two flap profiles were investigated: one with a true contour and the other with a blunt trailing edge. Results regarding lift, drag, pitching moment, hinge moment, and rolling moments were obtained for several Mach numbers, a constant Reynolds number, and a range of angles of attack.

An Analysis of Pressure Studies and Experimental and Theoretical Downwash and Sidewash Behind Five Pointed-Tip Wings at Supersonic Speeds

Description: "Flow-angle and pressure surveys behind five, thin, pointed-tip wings of varying plan form have been made at Mach numbers 1.62 and 2.41. Schlieren studies at a Mach number 1.93 for the same five plan-form wings were made to illustrate the behavior of the vortex sheet. The surveys were conducted at 1.5, 3, and 4 root chords behind three triangular wings of 50 degree, 63 degree, and 72 degree leading-edge sweep angle, and behind the 50 degree triangular wing reversed" (p. 1067).

An analysis of the tracking performances of two straight-wing and two swept-wing fighter airplanes with fixed sights in a standardized test maneuver

Description: From Introduction: "This report presents the initial study, the tracking performance of typical fighter airplanes with fixed gunsights. The types of airplanes tested afford two comparisons of particular interest: that between typical World War II and currently operational fighters of greatly increased speed and altitude, and that between conventional and irreversabile power-boosted controls with artificial feel, both installed on the same airframe."

Analytical and experimental investigation of a temperature-schedule acceleration control for a turbojet engine

Description: From Introduction: "This report investigates some of the problems involved in scheduling the tailpipe temperature to avoid stall during acceleration. The object of this report is to investigate the dynamics of a closed-loop acceleration control that follows a schedule of tailpipe temperature with rotor speed."

Application of Reactor Safeguard Committee Formula

Description: The Reactor Safeguard Committee formula for the allowable minimum distance between a reactor and the public domain is expressed as: r = 0.01{radical}P, where r = radius from reactor in miles, and P = reactor power level in kilowatts. The six plates in this report illustrates the application of this formula for Hanford Works, both for individual reactors and all reactors in an area.

The Approximation with Anisotropic Effects for Cylindrical Geometry

Description: The method of spherical harmonic tensors developed Mark for solving the Boltzmann transport equation in isotropic media is herein extended to anisotropic media for cylindrical geometry. A formal solution is given for the case of two concentric cylindrical media, A and B, but no numerical work has yet been done. The following treatment differs from a similar one by the H. K. Ferguson Co. in that the external medium B is assumed to be both a neutron absorber and finite in extent rather than a non… more

Axially Symmetric Shapes With Minimum Wave Drag

Description: "The external wave drag of bodies of revolution moving at supersonic speeds can be expressed either in terms of the geometry of the body, or in terms of the body-simulating axial source distribution. For purposes of deriving optimum bodies under various given conditions, it is found that the second of the methods mentioned is the more tractable. By use of a quasi-cylindrical theory, that is, the boundary conditions are applied on the surface of a cylinder rather than on the body itself, the var… more

Boiling limits

Description: Uncontrolled boiling of the water in a process tube might result in serious damage to a pile. Consequently, it is desirable to maintain header pressure generally sufficient to sweep out any steam which might be formed. Since the header pressure required to remove the steam depends upon the power output of the tube, the power level of a tube or pile is limited by the pressure available. In the past, tube power limitations have been specified and interpretations thereof. Recently a through study,… more

Calculation of Stagewise Contacting Systems

Description: From abstract: General expressions relating product stream compositions to the operating conditions of countercurrent stagewise extraction columns are derived by an inductive method, and the conversion of the general equations to ones involving the particular case of constant extraction factor is demonstrated. For comparison, the derivation of simple column equations by the use of finite difference equations is included.

Calculations of Laminar Heat Transfer Around Cylinders of Arbitrary Cross Section and Transpiration-Cooled Walls With Application to Turbine Blade Cooling

Description: "An approximate method for the development of flow and thermal boundary layers in the laminar region on cylinders with arbitrary cross section and transpiration-cooled walls is obtained by the use of Karman's integrated momentum equation and an analogous heat-flow equation. Incompressible flow with constant property values throughout the boundary layer is assumed. The velocity and temperature profiles within the boundary layer are approximated by expressions composed of trigonometric functions"… more
