An "Exact" Analysis of a Cylindrical Plasma in a Magnetic Field

Description: Abstract: "The analysis of an immobilized plasma is here extended to the case where the geometry is cylindrical rather than Cartesian. (This report, UCRL-4439 (Rev, 4 constitutes Part II of the report series (UCRL-4466, Parts I, III, and IV) dealing with this general problem.)"

Solutions of the Reactor Kinetics Equations for Time-Dependent Reactivities

Description: Abstract: The reactor kinetics equations are combined into a single integral equation whose kernel describes the time-dependent characteristics of the reactor including six delayed groups of neutrons. Numerical solutions of the integral equation are given for constant, linear, and ∫sin²kx dx reactivities. An approximate solution of the integral equation is obtained which provides a basis for the formulation and solution of the reactor system control problem using the methods of servomechanisms … more

Charge-discharge during pile operation

Description: This document presents a general analysis of charge-discharge during pile operation. It is not a detailed technical, operational, economic, or political analysis but, rather an attempt to cover the subject with a broader viewpoint than is usually prsented in the many detailed reports which have been written in the past five years. This letter is occasioned at this time because efforts are in progress to implement plans for proceeding with the expenditure of substantial amounts of money in order… more

Experimental Flutter Results for Cantilever-Wing Models at Mach Numbers Up to 3.0

Description: Report presenting experimental flutter testing at Mach numbers up to 3.0 using cantilever-wing models with 0 to 60 degree sweepback and 60 degree delta-wing models. The main variables explored were the high Mach number and center-of-gravity location on flutter trends. The theoretical results for flutter analyses were noted to be lower than the experimental results.

Bodies of revolution having minimum drag at high supersonic airspeeds

Description: Approximate shapes of nonlifting bodies having minimum pressure foredrag at high supersonic airspeeds are calculated. With the aid of Newton's law of resistance, the investigation is carried out for various combinations of the conditions of given body length, base diameter, surface area, and volume. In general, it is found that when body length is fixed, the body has a blunt nose; whereas, when the length is not fixed, the body has a sharp nose. The additional effect of curvature of the flow ov… more

Investigation at supersonic speeds of external-drag effects and pumping characteristics of a short ejector

Description: Report presenting an investigation at free-stream Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.94, and 2.41 to determine the external-drag effects and pumping characteristics of a short ejector housed within a highly bottailed afterbody. The tests covered secondary to primary diameter ratios of 1.50 and 1.33, mass flow ratios from 0 to 0.20, and a sonic and a supersonic primary nozzle. Results regarding drag and pumping characteristics are provided.
