The effects of water quality on pile operation

Description: Tests have been made to study the effects of lowering process water pH from pH 7.7 to the range pH 6.2--7.3; of reducing the amount of sodium dichromate inhibitor added to the water; and of eliminating the filtration step in the water treatment process. The results on the pH testing showed that reducing the pH of the cooling water would reduce aluminum corrosion rates. The plant specification has been changed to lower process water pH from 7.7 to 7.3 and plant scale testing of pH 7.0 water is i… more

Effect of a Decelerating Grid on Current from an Ion Source

Description: Abstract: "A theoretical criterion is given for the conditions under which the ions from an ion source may be decelerated by a decelerating grid, following the accelerating grid which extracts ions from the emitter, without causing a reduction in the current supplied by the source."

Gravitational-Electromagnetic Torus Models of the Elementary Particles

Description: Abstract: "A torus model of the elementary particles is suggested in which the electron and proton are made stable by gravitational forces derived from the electromagnetic field. It is suggested that the gravitational forces for the unstable particles, presumably the mesons, are not sufficient to keep the torus from expanding in the direction of its large radius. Rest energy zero can be achieved, presumably for photons and neutrons, when the gravitational energy and electromagnetic field energy… more

Continuous injection processing

Description: From introduction: "In this report we consider a few non-adiabatic processes. The types to be discussed will be limited because of two reasons: first, complete descriptions are available for some processes; second, as time goes on alternative injection methods undoubtedly will be discovered, so this list must necessarily be incomplete."

Variation of the magnetic susceptibility of artificial graphite with exposure in the materials testing reactor

Description: The magnetic susceptibility of artificial graphite was determined as a function of exposure in the MTR. Specimens were studied with exposures ranging from 0.07 to 82 {times} 10{sup18} nvt. Fluxes were determined by means of x-ray measurements and resistivity measurements. The dependence of the magnetic susceptibility on exposure in the MTR and also in a Hanford reactor are graphed, and an equivalence factor is calculated.

Calculation of Control Rod Worth in Appr-1

Description: Seven control rods will be used in the APPR-1 instead of five as originally planned. Critical experiments evaluating the rod worth for the APPR-1 have been performed at ORNL, and calculations have been carried out by ALCO interpreting these experimental results. The calculations indicate that the capability of any four of the original five rods to shut down the cold reactor at mid-life is marginal. The calculations are summarized in this memorandum. (auth)

Effects of Taper Ratio on the Longitudinal Characteristics at Mach Numbers From 0.6 to 1.4 of a Wing-Body-Tail Combination Having an Unswept Wing of Aspect Ratio 3

Description: Report presenting the results of a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the effects of a variation in wing taper ratio on the longitudinal characteristics of a wing-body combination at a variety of Mach numbers. The wings had an aspect ratio of 3, an unswept midchord line, and an NACA 64A003 profile. Results regarding the lift and pitching-moment characteristics and drag characteristics are provided.

A method for evaluating the loads and controllability aspects of the pitch-up problem

Description: Report presenting a procedure for estimating the range of peak airplane load factors and maneuvering tail loads likely to be experienced in pitch-up maneuvers. Results of computations indicated that though the load factors and maneuvering tail loads were not critical in pitch-up maneuvers at 35,000 feet, they were likely to exceed design levels at 15,200 feet.
