A Preliminary Investigation of the Performance of a Short Length Turbojet Combustor Using Vaporized Hydrocarbon Fuels

Description: "Two short turbojet combustors designed for use with vaporized hydrocarbon fuels were tested in a one-quarter annular duct. The experimental combustors consisted of many small "swirl-can" combustor elements manifolded together. This design approach allowed the secondary mixing zone to be considerably reduced over that of conventional combustors" (p. 1).

Specifications for prototype in-core flux monitor

Description: A direct means of monitoring and indicating the neutron flux in a reactor core is required to maintain neutron-flux equilibrium and to eliminate hot spots, flux peaking and flux oscillations. This report presents operating specification for an in-core flux monitor. The specifications are based upon the recognized requirements and operating characteristics for Hanford reactors and are presents as the criteria for development, application, and evaluation of prototype in-core flux monitor systems.

Studies on Large Area Sub-Fabric Burns. The Effect of (1) Reflectance and Separation of Fabric, and (2) Treatment With Fire-Retardant Material

Description: A series of cutaneous burns was produced on swine by exploding 150 mgm of magnesium powder at distances of 20 and 25 cm from the animal. This provided 20 cal/cm/sup 2/ at exposure times of 0.7 and 2 to 3 sec and 16 cal/cm/sup 2/ at an exposure time of 0.7 sec respectively. The effect of placing green and khaki poplin fabrics untreated and treated with fire-retardant material L-S 123P, in contact with and separated 5 and 10 mm from skin was studied. Burns were evaluated both by surface appearanc… more

Relationships Between Burn Severity and the Simulated Thermal Pulses of Various Nuclear Weapons

Description: When burns are produced by a total radiant exposure of 5 cal/cm(sup 2), burn severity decreases with thermal pulses of longer duration. Maximum damage results from a pulse simulating that of a 20 KT weapon, the shortest pulse investigated; 40 KT and l00 KT weapon pulses show similar effects; and the 1000 KT pulse produces less damage. Burn severity is nearly the same from 10 cal/ cm(sup 2) whether the thermal pulse simulates 20 KT, 40 KT, 100 KT, or 1000 KT weapons. Less damage is caused by 10 … more

Some Effects of Reynolds Number on the Stability of a Series of Flared-Body and Blunted-Cone Models at Mach Numbers From 1.62 to 6.86

Description: Report discussing an investigation of the stability of a series of flared-body and blunted-cone models at a range of Mach numbers. Increasing the flare length was found to increase static stability and the damping in pitch. The Reynolds number was found to have a large effect on static stability at lower Mach numbers, but little effect on the higher end of the range covered in testing.

An Investigation of the Performance of a Semielliptical Scoop Inlet at Mach Numbers of 1.60, 1.76, and 2.02

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the performance of a semielliptical scoop inlet with a two-dimensional flow field at the design Mach number of 2.0. The investigation included a study of the effects of inlet-leading-edge shape and boundary-layer bleed on the pressure recovery and total-pressure distribution. Results regarding performance of inlets without boundary-layer bleed, effect of diverter boundary-layer bleed, effect of leading-edge sweep angle, effect of compression-surface ble… more

HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS WITH HYDROGEN BUBBLE CHAMBERS

Description: Recent experience with liquid hydrogen bubble chambers of 25 and 40 cm dia. in high-energy physics experiments is discussed. Experiments described are: interactions of K/sup -/ mesons with prctons, iateractions of antiprotons with protons, catalysis of nuclear fusion reactions by muons, and production and decay of hyperons from negative pions.

Collapse : The Shock Heating of a Plasma

Description: There have been numerous independent suggestions to use high speed shocks to heat deuterium gas to thermonuclear temperature (E. Teller, R.R. Wilson, H. Grad, W. Marshall)², and extensive experimental work in this field is being carried on by, e.g., Kolb³, and S. Janes⁴. Our own work in this field has been directed towards a fundamental understanding of the strong shock process in the limit of no particle collision, to find out if within this limit the ion heating following the passage of the s… more

Laboratory Pressure Drop Data for Support Charges Using Pierced-Solid Dummy Slugs: All Reactors

Description: This report presents Hydraulics Laboratory data of the pressure drop characteristics for various combinations of ``pierced-solid`` dummy slugs in the support charges in the K, BDF, and C reactor process tubes. ``Pierced-solid`` slugs are regular solid aluminum dummy slugs which have been concentrically drilled so that mating against an I and E slug would not block the hole flow channel. No operating peculiarities were observed while using ``pierced-solids`` in the support charge.
