A Microdetermination of Uranium by Ferric Sulfate Titration

Description: Abstract: "Following nitrate removal by means of a three-stage hydrochloric acid digestion, uranium was reduced with chromous sulfate reagent. In an inert atmosphere, the quadrivalent uranium was titrated at 80-95[degrees] with standard ferric sulfate solution. The end point was obtained with a potentiometric cell including a platinum in-titrant reference electrode and a platinum indicator electrode. Application was made to various low leverl uranium solutions. For samples containing 1 - 12 mil… more

Method for Evaluating From Shadow or Schlieren Photographs the Pressure Drag in Two-Dimensional or Axially Symmetrical Flow Phenomena With Detached Shock

Description: "A method has been developed for evaluating from shadow or schileren photographs the pressure drag of axially symmetrical bodies at zero angle of attack or of two-dimensional bodies producing detached shock. The method consists in the determination of the flow properties along a characteristic line and the application of the momentum theorem to a stream tube around the body. The method can be applied to the determination of external drag of supersonic inlets with subsonic flow at the entrance o… more

Effects of Several Design Variables on Turbine-Wheel Weight

Description: Report presenting an analysis showing the effect of several design variables on turbine-wheel flight. Equations are developed for the calculations of weights of the disk, the rim, and the blades, and use the following variables: the blading aspect ratio and solidity, the ratio of the centrifugal stress at the blade roots to that in the disk, and the ratio of wheel diameter at the blade root to wheel diameter at the blade tip.

On Compressibility Corrections for Subsonic Flow Over Bodies of Revolution

Description: "A study of the subsonic flow past an infinitely long corrugated circular cylinder is presented to show the relation between two-dimensional and axisymmetrical flow. In fact, a solution is obtained which contains as limiting cases both the Prandtl-Glauert correction for two-dimensional flow and the Göthert correction for flow past slender bodies of revolution. Included in the paper are velocity-correction formulas for a cylinder with a single bump and for a corrugated cylinder in the presence o… more

The present status of polonium tolerance estimation. Biology seminar, February 1, 1949

Description: Despite the fact the adequate data from long-term, chronic experiments on the effects of Po{sup 210} are not available, some sort of a working figure for the maximum permissible body content of polonium is desirable. As described herein, calculations involved in determining the permissible body content of polonium generally fall into three classes. 1. Comparison of X-ray and polonium toxicity and application of an acceptable X-ray tolerance figure. 2. Assumption of a most sensitive organ and co… more

Equilibrium Operating Performance of Axial-Flow Turbojet Engines by Means of Idealized Analysis

Description: "A method of predicting equilibrium operating performance of turbojet engines has been developed, with the assumption of simple model processes for the components. Results of the analysis are plotted in terms of dimensionless parameters comprising critical engine dimensions and over-all operating variables. This investigation was made of an engine in which the ratio of axial inlet-air velocity to compressor-tip velocity is constant, which approximates turbojet engines with axial-flow compressor… more

Determination of Rate, Area, and Distribution of Impingement of Waterdrops on Various Airfoils From Trajectories Obtained on the Differential Analyzer

Description: "The trajectories of waterdrops in air flowing over airfoils are determined for three airfoil - angle-of-attack combinations using the differential analyzer to solve the differential equations of motion of the waterdrops. From these trajectories the rate of water impingement, the area of impingement, and the distribution of impingement are determined as functions of two dimensionless moduli. Comparisons are made of the rate of water impingement on these airfoils and the rate of water impingemen… more
