The Fabrication of Thorium Tubes

Description: Abstract: "Thorium tubes were cold drawn from extruded tube stock and also from drilled hot-rolled rod. Total reductions up to approximately 85 per cent were accomplished by conventional tube-drawing methods, without an intermediate anneal. The hard-drawn tubes had high tensile strength, but the ductility, as indicated by flaring and flattening tests, was low."

Radiation Damage to Organic Ion-Exchange Materials

Description: From abstract: "The stability of polystyrene and phenolic ion-exchange resins to radiation from a Co60 source and from absorbed Ce144-PR144 was investigated. Sulfonated polystyrene cation-exchange resins lost 10 to 20% of their capacity per watt-hour of radiation absorbed per gram of oven-dry resin, while the quaternary amine anion-exchange polystyrene resins lost about 40%. Phenolic cation-exchange resins lost only 1%."

The Valve Actuated Pulse Column Design

Description: Abstract: "The valve-actuated pulse column is employed to give phase separation on each half cycle in the countercurrent flow cycle and provides independent control over each step in the cycle. The dependence on temperature of operation, on pulse frequency and amplitude, and on plate design and spacing has been studied for extraction and stripping of uranium with tributyl phosphate in a hydrocarbon diluent. It is found that the efficiency increases quite significantly as the temperature is rais… more

Effect of Boron Liner on Neutron Background in Cavity

Description: Introduction: "In connection with conducting neutron experiments in a pit with earth and concrete walls, it was proposed that the background flux of neutrons might be reduced by lining the walls of the pit with a neutron absorber such as boron. To determine how much liner material would be desirable and what diminution in the neutron background could be expected, the following measurements were undertaken."

An investigation of the effects of heat transfer on boundary-layer transition on a parabolic body of revolution (NACA RM-10) at a Mach number of 1.61

Description: Report presents the results of an investigation conducted to determine the effects of heat transfer on boundary-layer transition on a parabolic body of revolution (NACA rm-10 without fins) at Mach number of 1.61 and over a Reynolds number range from 2.5 x 10(6) to 35 x 10(6). The maximum cooling of the model used in these tests corresponded to a temperature ratio (ratio of model-surface temperature to free-stream temperature) of 1.12, a value somewhat higher than the theoretical value required … more

Low-Lift Buffet Characteristics Obtained From Flight Tests of Unswept Thin Intersecting Surfaces and of Thick 35 Degree Sweptback Surfaces

Description: Report presenting testing of two rocket-propelled research models to determine the effect of the intersection of thin aerodynamic surfaces and the effect of moderate sweepback of thick aerodynamic surfaces on low-lift buffeting. Results regarding trim changes and drag are also provided. It was discovered that low-lift buffeting may be induced at high subsonic speeds by interference due to the intersection of thin aerodynamic surfaces.

Altitude Investigation of Several Afterburner Configurations for the J40-WE-8 Turbojet Engine

Description: "An investigation was conducted in the Lewis altitude wind tunnel to evaluate the performance and operational characteristics of the J40-WE-8 afterburner. A brief program of minor modifications to the flame holder, diffuser, and fuel system was undertaken to improve at a burner-inlet pressure level of 620 pounds per square foot. At this pressure level, modifications to the fuel system resulted in an increase in maximum net thrust from 1500 to 1600 pounds and a reduction in specific fuel consump… more

Investigation of a Chromium Plus Aluminum Oxide Metal-Ceramic Body for Possible Gas Turbine Blade Application

Description: "A metal-ceramic composition containing approximately 80 percent chromium plus 20 percent aluminum oxide (Al(sub 2)O(sub 3)) by weight has been investigated for possible gas-turbine blade use. The results of modulus-of-rupture, thermal-shock, and blade-performance studies indicate that this material may have adequate thermal-shock resistance; however, the strength for the application appears marginal" (p. 1).

Tests in the Ames 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel of Two Airplane Models Having Aspect Ratio 2 Trapezoidal Wings of Taper Ratios 0.33 and 0.20

Description: Memorandum presenting tests of two airplane models with trapezoidal wings of aspect ratio 2 and taper ratios of 0.33 and 0.20. For each model, a fuselage with a fineness ratio of 12.5, a thin, triangular, vertical tail with a constant-chord rudder, and a thin, unswept, all-movable horizontal tail was used. Tests of the wing-fuselage vertical-tail configuration and of the complete airplane model were made for both models.

Evaporation and Spreading of Isooctane Sprays in High Velocity Air Streams

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the evaporation and spreading of isooctane sprays over a range of inlet-air conditions common in ram-jet engines. The total and liquid fuel distribution across the duct were determined. Over the specified ranges in the investigation, expressions were obtained which related the evaporation rate and degree of spreading of the sprays to the experimental variables.

Preliminary drag and heat-transfer data obtained from air-launched cone-cylinder test vehicle over Mach number range from 1.5 to 5.18

Description: From Summary: "An air-launched cone-cylinder test vehicle designed to obtain data at Mach numbers above 4.0 was rocket boosted from a release Mach number of 5.18. The vehicle was launched at an altitude of 35,000 feet and reached peak velocity of 5150 feet per second at 28,500 feet. The total-drag coefficient (based on maximum cross-sectional area) decreased gradually from 0.31 at a Mach number of 1.75 to 0.145 at a Mach number of 5.18, while the Reynold's number (based on body length) increase… more
