The Mechanical Properties of Beta-Quenched Uranium at Elevated Temperatures

Description: The creep strength and tensile properties-were determined in vacuum for beta-quenched, derby uranium. The stresses to produce a secondary creep rate of- 0.0001 per cent per hr at 100, 250, 400, and 500 deg C were 48,000, sile strengths were 114,500, 35,100, 11,100, and 8,500 psi at temperatares of 28, 300, 500, and 700 deg C, respectively. The creep and tensile strengths decrease quite rapidly with increasing temperature in the temperatare range 250 to 400 deg C.

Motor load study 190-C-process pump drive

Description: During the summer months of 1954, the spare 190-C process pump unit was required to be placed in service for extended periods of time due to the motor winding temperatures exceeding the manufacturers recommended maximum operating limits. With nine unit operation each pump was required to supply approximately 9800 gpm to maintain the established power level of the 105-C Reactor. An operating condition requiring all process pump units to be in service simultaneously is-not desirable. Such a condi… more

Theoretical span load distributions and rolling moments for sideslipping wings of arbitrary plan form in incompressible flow

Description: From Summary: "A method of computing span loads and the resulting rolling moments for sideslipping wings of arbitrary plan form in incompressible flow is derived. The method requires that the span load at zero sideslip be known for the wing under consideration. Because this information is available for a variety of wings, this requirement should not seriously restrict the application of the present method. The basic method derived herein requires a mechanical differentiation and integration to … more

The Origin and Distribution of Supersonic Store Interference From Measurement of Individual Forces on Several Wing-fuselage-store Configurations 2 - Swept-wing Heavy-bomber Configuration With Large Store Nacelle. Lateral Forces and Pitching Moments, Mach Number, 1.61

Description: Memorandum presenting a supersonic wind-tunnel investigation of the origin and distribution of store interference performed in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at Mach number 1.6. Separate forces on a store, a fuselage, a swept wing, and a swept-wing-fuselage combination were measured. The configuration investigated simulated a heavy bomber airplane with a large store or nacelle with frontal area equivalent to a twin-engine nacelle.

An Investigation of the Adaptation of a Transonic Slotted Tunnel to Supersonic Operation by Enclosing the Slots With Fairings

Description: Memorandum presenting an experimental investigation of the adaptation of a transonic slotted tunnel to supersonic operation by enclosing the slots with fairings. The adaptation allows the extension of peak Mach number of the tunnel to be made at a reasonable cost in both time and effort, provided simplicity and ease of installation are taken into consideration during the design of the cover fairings. The nozzle is found to be sensitive to phenomena that will cause thickening of the boundary lay… more

Flight and Preflight Tests of a Ram Jet Burning Magnesium Slurry Fuel and Utilizing a Solid-Propellant Gas Generator for Fuel Expulsion

Description: Data obtained from the first flight test of a ram jet utilizing a magnesium slurry fuel are presented. The ram jet accelerated from a Mach number of 1.75 to a Mach number of 3.48 in 15.5 seconds. During this period a maximum values of air specific impulse and gross thrust coefficient were calculated to be 151 seconds and 0.658, respectively. The rocket gas generator used as a fuel-pumping system operated successfully.

Incompressible Flutter Characteristics of Representative Aircraft Wings

Description: "This report gives the results of a detailed study of the flutter characteristics of four representative aircraft wings. This study was made using the electric-analog computer at the California Institute of Technology. During the course of this investigation eight important parameters of each wing were varied and, in addition, the effects of mass, inertia, pitching spring, and location of a concentrated mass were investigated for all four wings and at several sweepback angles" (p. 1385).
