Technical Department report on Production Test No. 313-58-M: Recovery of lead dipped slugs

Description: A number of slugs have been dipped in lead, then Al-Si and canned. Laboratory experiments showed that the can and outer bonding layers could be removed by the standard caustic-nitrate treatment. The alloy layer was removed from several slugs by hot nitric acid without use of hydrofluoric acid. It was desired to extend the method to the plant process and to clean accumulated lead dipped pieces. Lead dipped slugs may be cleaned by the regular recovery process with a weight loss of about 0.03 lbs.… more

Turbidity coagulant for Columbia River water

Description: In this document, information about the need for a better compound to for filtering process water from the production reactors. It was found that the natural turbidity in the Columbia River was high enough to necessitate the use of a coagulant to minimize the passage of iron through filters. Tests indicated that Ferrisul was the better of the two compounds tested.

Production of Uranium Metal

Description: Experiments were carried out for the purpose of increasing production, efficiency, and purity of uranium metal. The electrolytic method as described by Driggs and Lilliendahl for the preparation of uranium metal was followed with but little deviation. The yield of metal at the very best was only 50%. The metal powder produced, at times, was very pyrophoric. Methods were found whereby the metal, at least in part, can be made from the oxides with an average yield of about 90%. The small amounts o… more

Resonance Absorption in Lumps and Mixtures

Description: The resonance absorption of a lump is described in terms of three components. Calculations of resonance absorption are carried out using the model for the resonance spectrum of uranium recently derived; calculations are also made with variations of this model which involve local fluctuations in level strengths. For metal and oxide lumps the agreement with observation is satisfactory. For dilute mixtures, whose resonance activation was measured by Mitchell, computed values fall 20% to 30% above … more

Warping Instability in Long Rods

Description: Abstract. If a pile rod gets bowed within its cooling tube it becomes warmer on the side which approaches the tube wall, and thermal expansion tends to warp it in the same direction as the original displacement. This was discussed roughly in N-601, and it was there concluded that the mechanism was not important for an isolated short slug. In connection with current development of continuous jacket (cartridge) assemblies, it seems desirable to look at this question again. In this case it is poss… more

Charts of Compressibility Factors and Charts Showing Quantities Delivered by Commercial Cylinders for Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen

Description: Two charts are given for each of the gases hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. The first gives directly the number of standard cubic feet of the gas which a cylinder will deliver. The second chart gives values of the compressibility factor and of the density.

Separation of Iron and Tuballoy With Phthallic Acid

Description: Introduction: This report embodies the results of an investigation as to the possibility of removing the bulk of the iron from gunk solutions of various concentrations by precipitation of the iron with phthallic acid and subsequent precipitation of tuballoy. The method consists of dissolving the phthallic acid in the gunk solution and then adding NH₃ to a suitable pH, precipitating the iron, and leaving the tuballoy in solution.

Recovery of Uranium From Contaminated Precipitron Oil

Description: Abstract: The distillation and residue extraction recovery procedures developed for the recovery of uranium from Kinney and diffusion pump oil, were applied to contaminated precipitron oil. The effectiveness and advisability of using the method, in whole or in part, is discussed, and various recommendations for processing this particular type of oil are presented. Additional contaminating substances present in this type of oil added to the complexity of the problem but a satisfactory recovery p… more

A Method for Predicting the Stability in Roll of Automatically Controlled Aircraft Based on the Experimental Determination of the Characteristics of an Automatic Pilot

Description: Report presenting a method for predicting the stability of automatically controlled aircraft by comparing the calculated frequency-response curves for the aircraft and experimentally determined frequency-response curves for the automatic pilot. The method is applicable only to stabilization in roll. It can be used to establish the specifications of performance required for the automatic control device for pilotless aircraft designed as missiles.

Investigation of shock diffusers at Mach number 1.85 2: projecting double-shock cones

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 18- by 18-inch supersonic tunnel to determine the total-pressure recovery obtainable at Mach number 1.85 with a shock diffuser with projective cones designed to produce two oblique shocks ahead of the diffuser inlet. The variation of total-pressure recovery with tip projection was investigated for four cones with different included angles. A maximum total-pressure recovery of 94.5 percent was attained with the best configuration at an angle of 0 degrees. more
