Notes Pertaining to Recuplex Product Evaporation

Description: A red-brown liquid formed during the evaporation of simulated Recuplex product solutions containing plutonium, nitric acid, carbon tetrachloride, and tributyl phosphate (TBP). The liquid is soluble in carbon tetrachloride. Concentration of solutions containing a TBP to plutonyl nitrate weight ratio of 0.15 or greater to a pot temperature of 150 deg C caused reactions which produced enough heat to bring the pot contents to a red heat with copious evolution of gases. Evaporation path curves and b… more

Altitude performance and operational characteristics of 29-inch-diameter tail-pipe burner with several fuel systems and fuel-cooled stage-type flame holders on J35-A-5 turbojet engine

Description: An investigation of tail-pipe burning was conducted in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel with a full-scale turbojet engine and an 29-inch-diameter tail-pipe burner. Effects of fuel distribution and number and arrangement of stages on performance and operational characteristics of several fuel-cooled flame holders are presented and discussed. Operation with a three-stage flame holder having the large stage upstream was the most efficient. Combustion efficiency was slightly increased at high al… more

Investigation of the Effects of Wing and Tail Modifications on the Low-Speed Stability Characteristics of a Model Having a Thin 40 Degree Swept Wing of Aspect Ratio 3.5

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the effects of wing and tail modifications on the low-speed stability characteristics of a model with thin 40 degree swept wings of aspect ratio 3.5. The main purpose was to improve some of the undesirable longitudinal stability characteristics observed in flight of several airplanes with similar wing geometry. The use of flaps, the position of the horizontal tail, and the use of chord extensions are all explored as possible solutions.
