The Tensile Strength of Solid-State Bonded Aluminum and Nickel-Plated Uranium

Description: To aid in the evaluation of solid-state bending techniques for cladding natural-uranium fuel-element cores with aluminum, tensile specimens, 1/4 in. in diameter and 3 in. long were made and tested. Results show that these techniques are capable of producing satisfactory bonds between aluminum and nickel-plated uranium. Pressing conditions of 1 min at 950F and 6000 psi produced consintent bond strengths equal to the yield strength of 25 aluminum. When optimum bonding conditions are used, anodic … more

A Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Use of Spoilers for Obtaining Static Longitudinal Stability of a Canard-Missile Model in Reverse Flight

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the stability tunnel of the use of spoilers for obtaining static longitudinal stability of a model of a canard missile in reverse flight. Results indicated that stable pitching-moment slopes can be obtained at angles of attack up to 11 degrees in the low speed range of the tests, but further investigation of high subsonic speeds will be necessary.

An Analysis of Pressure Studies and Experimental and Theoretical Downwash and Sidewash Behind Five Pointed-Tip Wings at Supersonic Speeds

Description: The following report covers an investigation that was done to supplement available experimental data on flow fields behind wings of an aircraft at supersonic speeds, as well as to furnish more quantitative information on the choice of the theoretical method for a given configuration and the accuracy to be expected when using such a method.

Effect of Nozzle Contour on Drag of Parabolic Afterbodies

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the effect of nozzle internal contour on afterbody drag in the 8- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel. Five different nozzle-afterbody configurations were evaluated. Results regarding the boattail pressure drag, base drag, and total drag are provided.

Effect of immersed surfaces in combustion zone on efficiency and stability of 5-inch diameter ram-jet combustor

Description: Report presenting an extension of previous work on immersed surfaces in the combustion zone of a ramjet engine. The primary focus was to determine the effect of combustion efficiency and stability of blades located within the immediate wake of a V-gutter flame holder and to find some location and orientation of blades for optimum combustion efficiency and improved stability limits with a minimum of pressure loss.

Analysis of Factors Affecting Selection and Design of Air-Cooled Single-Stage Turbines for Turbojet Engines 2: Analytical Techniques

Description: Memorandum presenting computation methods for analyzing turbojet-engine performance for a series of air-cooled nonafterburning and afterburning engines where all the engine components are simultaneously aerodynamically limited. The coolant-flow ratio was arbitrarily assigned so that the results of the analysis can be applied to any specific air-cooled blade configurations.

The corrosion of Hanford fuel elements: Method for the treatment and analyses of in-pile corrosion data

Description: The corrosion rates of slug jackets exposed in the Hanford piles are monitored to determine optimum operating conditions and to evaluate proposed changes in process specifications. Selected process tubes are charged with weighed slugs, and the coolant flow rate and temperature rise through the tubes are recorded until the slugs are discharged. The corrosion rates of these control slugs are computed from weight loss data after discharge. The data obtained in this manner are used to find the rela… more

Response of Pressure Gauges to Dust-Laden Shock Waves

Description: "A series of shock tube studies demonstrate that two types of pressure gauges respond to dust carried with shock waves by indicating an increase in dynamic pressure. This contribution to the dynamic pressure is approximately the product of the dust density and the square of the dust velocity under the experimental conditions. Besides this information studies give insight into the interaction of a square shock wave with dust when that dust is placed in a plane before and parallel to the shock fr… more

A method of measuring jet thrust of turbojet engines in flight installations

Description: "Measurement of the jet thrust of a turbojet engine in flight becomes more difficult as the number and complexity of the engine components increase. It is desirable, therefore, that a general correlation of jet thrust be developed which is applicable to a simple direct reading thrustmeter. In view of this need a correlation is presented which is independent of flight conditions and applicable to both non-afterburning and afterburning engines equipped with nonejector type fixed- and variable-are… more
