Carrier-free Radioisotopes from Cyclotron Targets I. Preparation and Isolation of Sn113 and In114 from Cadmium

Description: The cyclotron is the only practical source of many carrier-free radioisotopes. The preparation and radiochemical isolation of a number of these activities, produced in the 60-inch cyclotron of Crocker Laboratory, will be presented in this paper and in subsequent papers of this series. In most cases the carrier-free radioisotopes were prepared for use in biological systems and the final preparations were in the form of isotonic saline solutions at a range of pH from 5 to 8. The present paper rep… more

Free-Flight Investigation at Transonic and Supersonic Speeds of the Rolling Effectiveness of Several Aileron Configurations on a Tapered Wing Having 42.7 Degrees Sweepback

Description: Report presenting an investigation of several aileron modifications in conjunction with a tapered, sweptback wing with circular-arc airfoil sections of relatively large thickness ratio. This testing permits the evaluation of the wing-aileron rolling effectiveness over a range of Mach numbers. Results regarding true-contour ailerons, extended-chord ailerons, and blunt trailing-edge ailerons are provided.

Langley Free-Flight-Tunnel Investigation of the Automatic Lateral Stability Characteristics of a Model Equipped with a Gyro Stabilizing Unit that Provided either Flicker-Type or Hunting Control

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the automatic lateral stability characteristics of a model equipped with a gyro stabilizing unit that gave response to bank and yaw. Stable flights were obtained with the flicker-type automatic control, and the amplitude of the oscillations was decreased by adding the attachment which provided hunting control.

Full-Scale Investigation of a Wing With the Leading Edge Swept Back 47.5 Degrees and Having Circular-Arc and Finite-Trailing-Edge-Thickness Ailerons

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a wing with a leading sweptback edge at 47.5 degrees and a 20-percent-chord, 50-percent-span outboard aileron. The wing had symmetrical circular-arc airfoil sections and was tested with a circular-arc contour aileron and a flat-sided contour aileron with finite trailing-edge thickness. The longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics and aileron effectiveness are provided for both types of ailerons.

Peroxide process -- 234-5 Building

Description: The mechanical line being developed at Los Alamos is designed around the peroxide precipitation process. Development work, at that site, on this process has progressed to the point where actual plant equipment can be designed for future use. The process for converting the peroxide to a reducible fluoride is known. From the reduction step on, no change is necessary in the present process. The possibilities of a satisfactory peroxide process were recognized before design and construction of the R… more
