Capillary liquid evaporation from wick covered plates: theory

Description: Differential equations and associated parameters are derived for heat transfer to a thin liquid-saturated wick, as in the evaporator section of a ''heat pipe.'' Prescribed are a numerical method of solution and a procedure for experimental measurements of heat transfer in the flat plate model. This effort is a part of the Project CLEER program which is currently sponsored by the Mechanical Engineering Department research account.

Development of a Thin-Liquid-Film Membrane Unit for Desalination by Reverse Osmosis

Description: Report describing a contract to study laminar flow in narrow channels as a possible alternative to turbulent flow in wider channels for minimizing the losses in efficiency due to concentration polarization in the reverse osmosis process for desalination of sea water. A laboratory study and a practical study were both undertaken.

The Mechanical Royalty Rate on Sound Recordings: Survey of Issues Before the Judiciary Committees of the Congress

Description: This study will attempt to review and place into perspective the principal arguments voiced by both the music publishers and the record producers in their respective testimony before Subcommittee No. 3 of the House Judiciary Committee and the Subcommittee on Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary during the 89th and 90th congress.

A Miniaturized Gap Test

Description: A test arrangement and procedure has been devised for a miniaturized gap test in which the donor is essentially a length of hypodermic needle tubing loaded with an exploslve. The particular size used in the work reported hereln had an explosive column charge diameter of 33 mils. The procedure was used to determine gap sensitivities of several explosives including tetryl, RDX, PETN, HMX, and PBXN-5. Several of the explosives were tested of more than one particle size and loaded at more than one … more

Properties of the eta prime meson

Description: The {eta}'(958) meson has been studied in the reaction K{sup -}p {yields} {Lambda}{eta}', with K{sup -} beam momenta ranging from 1.70 to 2.65 Gev/c. The Dalitz plots of {eta}' decay into {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{eta} and {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{gamma} have been examined, and from them we have determined that the most likely quantum numbers of the {eta}' are I{sup G}J{sup P} = 0{sup +}0{sup -}, although J{sup P} = 2{sup -} cannot be completely ruled out. They have also shown that the decay into {p… more

Qualification of primary loop manifold of a liquid metal thermoelectric converter

Description: The mechanical cycling test was required to verify the integrity of the welded joints and the thin wall tube bends in the primary loop manifold assembly of a four pack thermo electric module and to help establish structural and mechanical requirements of any possible redesign. The test section was subjected to more severe loading conditions than will be experienced during actual operating conditions. The test was a mechanical simulation of the differential thermal expansion which occurs due to … more
