Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Flying-Boat Hull Having a Length-Beam Ratio of 15, TED No. NACA 2206

Description: "An investigation was made in the Langley 300 MPH 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a flying-boat hull of a length-beam ratio of 15 in the presence of a wing. The investigation was an extension of previous tests made on hulls of length-beam ratios of 6, 9, and 12; these hulls were designed to have approximately the same hydrodynamic performance with respect to spray and resistance characteristics. Comparison with the previous investigation at lower length-beam… more

Aerodynamic study of a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing swept back 63 degrees : effectiveness at supersonic speeds of a 30-percent chord, 50-percent semispan elevon as a lateral control device

Description: Report presenting the effectiveness of a 50-percent-semispan, constant-percent-chord elevon, and of upper-space spoilers as lateral control surfaces for a wing-fuselage combination with a wing swept back 63 degrees over a range of Mach numbers. For the elevon, results indicated that only about half of the predicted rolling-moment effectiveness was realized. The spoilers were found to be inferior to the elevons for lateral control because of a rapid loss of effectivness above an angle of attack … more

Altitude Performance of J35-A-17 Turbojet Engine in an Altitude Chamber

Description: "An investigation of the altitude performance characteristics of an Allison J35-A-17 turbojet engines have been conducted in an altitude chamber at the NACA Lewis laboratory. Engine performance was obtained over a range of altitudes from 20,000 to 60,000 feet at a flight Mach number of 0.62 and a range of flight Mach numbers from 0.42 to 1.22 at an altitude of 30,000 feet. The performance of the engine over the range investigated could be generalized up to an altitude of 30,000 feet" (p. 1).

Analysis of Lid Tank Neutron Data for Lead and Iron

Description: Abstract: An analysis of the lid tank neutron data for Pb-H2O and Fe-H2O is made. "Effective" fast neutron cross sections for the metals are obtained. This is based on the "one collision theory" of shielding. Values are 3.4 barns for Pb and 2.0 barns for Fe. These compare very well with those obtained by Albert and Welton based on other lid tank data and another method of calculation.

Analysis of the effects of wing interference on the tail contributions to the rolling derivatives

Description: From Introduction: "This report presents calculations of the angularity of the air stream with respect to the vertical tail for a rolling airplane, the interference effects of the wing being taken into account. A discussion of the factors which enter into the calculations is given and equations for applying the side-wash results to the determination of the tail contributions to the rolling-stability derivatives are included. The results are compared with some available experimental data."

Analytical procedures for the plutonium Metal Fabrication Process

Description: A report describing a the results of a fluorimetric and volumetric method for the determination of fluoride. This method was developed for the determination of ionizable fluorine in gases in the range of 1-500ppm. This method was chosen because the determination depends on the generation of a color rather than the bleaching effect or on a change of color.

Annie Laurie Prospect, Santa Cruz County, Arizona

Description: From introduction: The Annie Laurie 'cranium Prospect, in the Oro Blanco district of southern Arizona, is located in the southwest quarter of Sect. 3, T233, R=13. The nearest United States post office is Nogales, about 25 miles east, and the nearest settlement is Ruby, a nearly abandoned mining camp about 3 miles north. Access to the Ruby area is by gravel road from US highway 39 at Kinsley or Nogales. The Ruby quadrangle (1940) includes the area surrounding the prospect.

Calculated and observed P-10 production in H-10

Description: Recently three H-10 tubes (2,772, 2,176, 3,673) have been removed and the tritium and other gases have been extracted from the Z slugs. It is of interest to compare the calculated volumes of gases with the amounts obtained in these extractions. The comparison is given in this paper. The reasons for the large disagreement are not known at present. As pointed out below, the weakest part of the calculation is the knowledge of the exposure which these Z slugs have received. It is possible that some… more

The Chelate Process, IV. Process Flow Involving o-Dichlorobenzene as the Solvent for TTA

Description: Comparative studies of a series of halogenated solvents, as carriers for TTA in the chelate process for plutonium extraction, indicate that ortho-dichlorobenzene most nearly satisfies the requirements that are set forth. A complete process design is presented for use with this solvent, and flow data and equipment capacities are given for dissolver solution and for uranium-free fission product solution as alternate feeds to the process.

A comparison of the experimental and theoretical loading over triangular wings at supersonic speeds

Description: Report presenting the results of an experimental investigation of the pressure distribution over two triangular wings at supersonic speeds. The two wings which were tested had identical plan forms, 45 degrees of sweepback of the leading edge, and an aspect ratio of 4.0, but different airfoil sections. Results regarding the pressure distribution at zero lift, flow characteristics and pressure distribution at angles of attack, normal-force coefficients, and application of results to other triangu… more

Correlation of physical properties with molecular structure for some dicyclic hydrocarbons having high thermal-energy release per unit volume -- 2-alkylbiphenyl and the two isomeric 2-alkylbicyclohexyl series

Description: Three homologous series of related dicyclic hydrocarbons are presented for comparison on the basis of their physical properties, which include net heat of combustion, density, melting point, boiling point, and kinematic viscosity. The three series investigated include the 2-n-alkylbiphenyl, 2-n-alkylbicyclohexyl (high boiling), and 2-n-alkylbiphenyls (low boiling) series through c sub 16, in addition to three branched-chain (isopropyl, sec-butyl, and isobutyl) 2-alkylbiphenyls and their corresp… more
