Report for General Research September 18 to December 11, 1950 (Radium Volume)

Description: The purpose of the research work reported in this volume is the development of a process for the separation and subsequent purification of radium from the K-65 (pitchblende) residue. Except for the accumulation of additional experimental data the process is essentially complete. After a preliminary extraction of about 85% of the lead and 40% of the silica with a 40% sodium hydroxide solution, the residue is treated with a solution containing both sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate to obtain … more

Data Relating to Hanford Mined Graphite (2273-D) Samples Annealed at NAA

Description: On 2/8/1950, there was mined from process tube 2273 in D pile at Hanford a quantity of graphite power, which was expected to show the most extensive radiation damage of any graphite available at that time. A series of samples of this powder were annealed in 100 degrees increments from 100 degrees to 2000 degrees C at this labaoratory. There were returned to Hanford and shipped by them to the National Bureau of Standards for total stored energy measurements. The present memorandum is comprised o… more

Report for General Research September 18 to December 11, 1950 (Actinium Volume)

Description: The purpose of the research work presented in this volume is to develop a process for the separation and purification of actinium-227 produced by neutron bombardment of radium-226 and to develop methods by which uniform films of actinium metal may be deposited on metallic surfaces. The design work on the cave structure and mechanical equipment used in the actinium separation is proceeding on schedule. As the mechanical design phase is nearing completion the emphasis is being directed toward pro… more

Recovery of Plutonium from Slag and Crucible

Description: Slag and crucible can be dissolved satisfactorily by the Los Alamos method of total dissolution with nitric acid in the presence of aluminum nitrate. Extraction of 99% of the plutonium from total dissolution salted with aluminum nitrate was achieved by three successive contactings with 1/10 volumes of 30% TBp- AMSCO 125-90W. The TBPAMSCO phases contacted with leaching solutions salted with calcium nitrate must be scrubbed to remove calcium. Stripping with three 1/10 volumes of 0.1M hydroxylamin… more

Preliminary investigation of molybdenum disulfide-air-mist lubrication for roller bearings operating to DN values of 1 x 10(exp 6) and ball bearings operating to temperatures of 1000 degrees F

Description: The effectiveness of molybdenum disulfide MoS2 as a bearing lubricant was determined at high temperature and at high speeds. A 1-inch-bore ball bearing operated at temperatures to 1000 F, a speed of 1725 rpm, and a thrust load of 20 pounds when lubricated only with MoS2-air mist. A 75-millimeter-bore cageless roller bearing, provided with a MoS2-syrup coating before operation, operated at DN values to 1 x 10(exp 6) with a load of 368 pounds.

Flight Investigation at Mach Numbers From 0.8 to 1.5 of the Drag of a Canopy Located at Two Positions on a Parabolic Body of Revolution

Description: Report presenting the results of a free-flight investigation of two drag research models equipped with canopies for a range of Mach numbers from 0.8 to 1.5. The main difference between the models was the location of the canopy, which was at the 15-percent fuselage station on one model and the 25-percent fuselage station on the other. The additional drag due to the canopies was about 10 to 20 percent of the total configuration drag at supersonic speeds.

Skin-Temperature Telemeter for Determining Boundary-Layer Heat-Transfer Coefficients

Description: Memorandum presenting a description of a method of telemetering skin temperature using a small resistance wire pickup with a time constant of less than 0.003 second to determine boundary-layer heat-transfer coefficients. An evaluation of the accuracy of the method of measuring the heat-transfer coefficient is given for a particular application.

An experimental study at moderate and high subsonic speeds of the flow over wings with 30 degrees and 45 degrees of sweepforward in conjunction with a fuselage

Description: Report presenting pressure distributions and wake measurements for wings with 30 and 45 degrees of sweepforward, in conjunction with a midwing fuselage, at Mach numbers up to 0.96. The wings had an NACA 65-210 section, a taper ratio of 0.38, and aspect ratios of 7.5 and 5.2. Results regarding pressure distributions, wake measurements, and corrections are provided.
