Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Effects of Spoilers on the Characteristics of a Low-Drag Airfoil Equipped With a 0.25-Chord Slotted Flap

Description: Report discussing the effects of circular-arc spoilers on the section characteristics of an NACA 66,2-216 airfoil with a 0.25-chord slotted flap. Spoilers were tested on the upper surface of the airfoil, on the lower surface, and on both simultaneously. Only the simultaneous placement of spoilers was found to provide satisfactory results as a lateral control device.

Effect of Temperature on Beta-Ray Measurements

Description: Summary: "This report investigates photographic methods of measuring beta radiation and includes a study of temperature effects on these measurements. Experimental data are submitted to show that an increase in film temperature before and during beta irradiation causes a definite increase in density for the same dosage. Recommendations drawn from experience gained in the experimental works are offered."

Radioactive contamination in the environs of the Hanford Works for the period January, February, March 1949

Description: This report summarizes in somewhat more detail than the monthly H.I. Environs reports the extent and magnitude of the radioactive contamination detected in the environs of the Hanford Works. Radioactive contamination resulting from the operation of the Hanford Works as well as that found occurring in natural quantities is included. This belated report is being issued merely for the records to serve as a composite summary of measurements already reported in the monthly H.I. Environs reports and … more

Graphite expansion committee meeting of January 10, 1947

Description: The thirteenth meeting of the Graphite Expansion Committee was held on January 10, 1947. A summary of meeting topics follow. The horizontal bowing of Tube 4494-D in the top corner of the pile is considerably greater than the bowing which can be attributed to graphite expansion at this elevation in the pile, indicating that the top layers of graphite are being dragged outward by expansion of the underlying layers. Such a phenomenon could shear the vertical thimbles at a point just below the ther… more

100 Area Water Study

Description: This paper gives a cost breakdown of all the water facilities in the 100-F area for the month of January, 1948. Also given is the cost of chlorine for addition to the process water system along with where it is added and in what amounts. Lastly, the average figure for the hardness for the Columbia River water at Hanford.

Analysis of urine samples for iron and S{sup 35}

Description: On August 21, 1948, several smear samples of contamination from the inner rod room at 100-F Area were submitted for beta identification. This contamination was spread as a result of maintenance work on the horizontal rods. Urine sample were deemed advisable for two men who had been exposed while working on the rods. These urine samples were also submitted for beta analyses. The analyses of the smears showed the contamination to consist of primarily S{sup 35} (65%) and Fe{sup 59} (30%)and minor … more

Procedures for the Separation of Products Resulting From Bombardment of Heavy Elements

Description: Technical report that attempts to bring together the various chemical procedures which proved most useful in studying the results of cyclotron bombardment or small scale neutron bombardments of heavy element targets. The report is limited to the elements of the "actinide", or second rare earth series, starting with thorium and including the newly discovered elements of atomic number 95 and 96. Every attempt is made to include all details necessary so this report can serve as a practical labora… more

Analytical requirements of the 234-5 Project

Description: At this time it is desirable that preliminary estimates be made of the manpower, equipment, space, layout and facility requirements of the analytical section for the 234-5 Project. To arrive at these requirements a rough estimate of the required analyses, their scope and their frequency has been compiled. This is expected to serve as a basis for the Laboratories Division to outline their space and equipment requirements as soon as possible and to assemble the required personnel for operation la… more

An approximate method for calculating the effect of surface roughness on the drag of an airplane

Description: From Summary: "A method for computing the effect of surface roughness on the drag coefficient of an airplane is presented. Calculated results using this method are compared with experimental results from both flight and wind-tunnel tests. In general, the agreement is believed satisfactory."

The calculation of drag for airfoil sections and bodies of revolution at subcritical speeds

Description: Report presenting a method for calculating the drag, in a real compressible fluid and at subcritical Mach numbers, of airfoil sections at arbitrary life coefficients and of bodies of revolution at zero angle of attack. The values of drag coefficient are compared with values obtained for the same configurations by other methods. The differences between the results are found to lie withint he limits of accuracy of current experimental techniques.

Investigation of the aerodynamic and icing characteristics of a recessed fuel cell vent assembly 3: NACA flush-inlet-type vent

Description: An investigation conducted in the icing research tunnel to determine aerodynamic and icing characteristics of two flush-inlet-type fuel cell vent installations. The vent tubes were mounted in two different locations in the two installations. The vents were aerodynamically investigated to obtain vent-tube static-pressure differentials and pressure surveys as a function of tunnel-air velocity and angle of attack.

Low-speed pressure distributions over the drooped-nose flap of a 42 degrees sweptback wing with circular-arc airfoil sections at a Reynolds number of 5.3 x 10(exp 6)

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the pressure distributions over the drooped-nose flap of a 42 degree sweptback wing with circular-arc airfoil sections and half-span trailing-edge split flaps in the 19-foot pressure tunnel. The effects of the deflection and span of the drooped-nose flap and effects of split trailing-edge flaps on the pressures over the drooped-nose flap were determined.
