Calculation of Stagewise Contacting Systems

Description: From abstract: General expressions relating product stream compositions to the operating conditions of countercurrent stagewise extraction columns are derived by an inductive method, and the conversion of the general equations to ones involving the particular case of constant extraction factor is demonstrated. For comparison, the derivation of simple column equations by the use of finite difference equations is included.

Comparison of Several Methods of Cyclic De-Icing of a Gas-Heated Airfoil

Description: "Several methods of cyclic de-icing of a gas-heated airfoil were investigated to determine ice-removal characteristics and heating requirements. The cyclic de-icing system with a spanwise ice-free parting strip in the stagnation region and a constant-temperature gas-supply duct gave the quickest and most reliable ice removal. Heating requirements for the several methods of cyclic de-icing are compared, and the savings over continuous ice prevention are shown. Data are presented to show the rela… more

Examination of Recent Lateral-Stability-Derivative Data

Description: "In the present paper attention is directed to the aerodynamic parameters, the so-called stability derivatives, that affect the lateral behavior of airplanes and missiles. The discussion is centered on three important quantities, the effective-dihedral derivative, the directional-stability derivative, and the damping-in-roll derivative. These quantities are considered for a large angle-of-attack range at subsonic speeds" (p. 1).

Hinge-moment characteristics for several tip controls on a 60 degree sweptback delta wing at Mach number 1.61

Description: Report presenting an investigation at Mach number 1.61 to determine the hinge-moment characteristics of seven tip controls on a 60 degree sweptback delta wing. Testing occurred over a range of angles of attack and control deflection. The results indicated that the most important parameter in designing delta-wing tip control is the ratio of control-surface area ahead of the hinge line to total control-surface area.

An analysis of the tracking performances of two straight-wing and two swept-wing fighter airplanes with fixed sights in a standardized test maneuver

Description: From Introduction: "This report presents the initial study, the tracking performance of typical fighter airplanes with fixed gunsights. The types of airplanes tested afford two comparisons of particular interest: that between typical World War II and currently operational fighters of greatly increased speed and altitude, and that between conventional and irreversabile power-boosted controls with artificial feel, both installed on the same airframe."

Preliminary investigation of the effects of body contouring as specified by the transonic area rule on the aerodynamic characteristics of a delta wing-body combination at Mach numbers of 1.41 and 2.01

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of body contouring as specified by the transonic drag-rise area rule on the aerodynamic characteristics of a delta wing-body combination at Mach numbers of 1.41 and 2.01. Body contouring reduced zero-lift drag of a delta wing-body combination from that of a basic wing-body combination without contouring by 18 percent at Mach number 1.41 and 6 percent at Mach number 2.01.

A Transonic Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Effect of Modifications to an Indented Body in Combination With a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of modifications to an indented body which was originally designed on the basis of the transonic drag-rise rule to determine the effects on the aerodynamic characteristics of a 45 degree sweptback-wing-body combination. The investigation covered a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. Results regarding lift, drag for the nonlifting case, drag for the lifting case, maximum lift-to-drag ratios, and pitching moment are provided.

The Synthesis of Butylsilanes by a Large-Scale Reduction with Lithium Aluminum Hydride

Description: "Eighty pounds of butylsilanes required for test purposes was synthesized by reducing butyltrichlorosilane with lithium aluminum hydride in dioxane solution. This was safely and successfully accomplished by operating in steel equipment under an atmosphere of oil-pumped nitrogen to minimize the hazards involved in conducting this operation on a large scale. The apparatus and procedure used to carry out the necessary manipulations are described in this report" (p. 1).

Description: Investigation of the effect on zero-lift drag of varying the size and number of symmetrically mounted nacelles on a 45 degree sweptback wing and body combination as determined by free-flight tests of rocket-propelled models over a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. The nacelle configuration consisted of a twin-engine nacelle near the fuselage, a combination of single-engine nacelles at the wing tip and fuselage, a large nacelle at the wing tip, and a large nacelle near the fuselage.

The Determination of Adsorbed Moisture on Uranium and Uranium Oxide: A New Method for Moisture Determinations

Description: Abstract: "A method is described for determining moisture on uranium and uranium oxides. This method should also be applicable to solid samples which, when heated, do not decompose to form water or liberate a substance which will react with Fischer's reagent. The method should be especially applicable to samples which are insoluble in alcohol or Karl Fischer reagent under normal titration conditions, or which will themselves react with the reagent. The amount of moisture on uranium and uranium … more
