Experimental Investigation of Diffuser Pressure Ratio Control With Shock Positioning Limit on 28 Inch Ram-Jet Engine

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the performance of a diffuser static-pressure-ratio control with a normal shock-positioning limit on a ramjet engine installed in an altitude free-jet facility. Testing occurred at Mach numbers of 2.35 and 2.50, altitudes of 50,000, 60,000 and 65,000 feet, and angles of attack of 0 and 7 degrees. Results regarding the effects of control constants, effects of disturbance size and operating point, effects of flight conditions, and control limitations and poss… more

Research and Investigation Leading to Methods of Generating and Detecting Radiation in the 100 to 1000 Micron Wavelength Range of the Spectrum. Technical Progress Report No. 2 (Quarterly Report No. 6) for June 1, 1957 to September 1, 1957

Description: Work on the present relativistic electron bunching accelerator (S-band rebatron) is concerned with improving the electron bunching, current and beam focusing, and the design of a portable prototype system. Most of the parts for this new machine were fabricated and tested and the construction initiated. A photograph showing the present stage of construction is given. Since an S-band rebatron cannot be scaled directly to X-band, a lower voltage Xband rebatron, followed by a short section of a lin… more

THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPOSITE CONTROL RODS FOR WATER-COOLED POWER REACTORS

Description: The phrase "composite control rod" is used to describe a hafnium-tipped titanium-boron control component with a titanium cladding. Blades for such cortrol rods were successfully prepared in cooperation with the Battelle Memorial Institute by a picture-frame rolling technique. The rolling packs, which are machined from type 304 stainless steel, contain slntered titanium boron and wrought hafnium core materials in a commercially pure titanium envelope. Such packs are evacuated, sealod off, and ro… more

Enrichment of Isotopes by the Difference in Rates of Isotopic Reactions

Description: The difference in rates of reaction of isotopic molecules may be utilized to produce appreciable isotope enrichments. When a competitive irreversible isotopic reaction is carried out to a high extent of completion, the residual unconverted substrate becomes exponentlally enriched in the heavier isotope. In deuterium systems, a substantial function of the D inventory is retained in the enriched residual substrate, so that conversion of the depleted product is unnecessary. For isotopes of heavier… more
