High Energy Fission and Spallation of Uranium

Description: From introduction: "This report is an attempt to examine, semiquantitavely, the way the competition between neutron emission and fission varies for heavy nuclei as a function of nuclear type and excitation energy. Many of the ideas herein are the results of discussions with R. H. Goeckermann and W. Heckrotte of the University of California Radiation Laboratory."

Production Test No. 105-565-A: Horizontal rod conversion---old piles

Description: In numerous instances the graphite growth in the older piles has deformed the horizontal control rod holes with a resultant jamming of the rods and overstressing of the rods and thimbles. In addition, special operating procedures to maintain very low differential pressures are required with the present allowed maximum graphite temperatures to prevent collapse of the thimbles because of loss of strength at this temperature. This is currently a limit to the power level of the H Pile. This report … more

A Conceptual Design of a Thorium-Uranium (233) Power Breeder Reactor

Description: From abstract: A conceptual design study has been performed for a sodium cooled, graphite moderated, thermal power-breeder reactor utilizing the Thorium-Uranium 233 breeding cycle. Several aspects of the design of the system are considered but no attempt has been made to supply all the details. It appears that the design presented is feasible and will allow the production of economic power as well as full utilization of thorium resources.

Wind-tunnel investigation of the effect of clipping the tips of triangular wings of different thickness, camber, and aspect ratio - transonic bumb method

Description: Report presenting an investigation on a transonic bump to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a series of triangular wings. Four basic triangular-wing plan forms with different aspect ratios, taper ratios, and combinations of tip clipping were tested over a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. Results regarding angle of attack, drag coefficient, pitching-moment coefficient with lift coefficient, and various curves are provided.

Analysis of Turbulent Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer, and Friction in Smooth Tubes at High Prandtl and Schmidt Numbers

Description: From Introduction: "In the analysis given herein, which was made at the NACA Lewis laboratory, the expression for eddy diffusivity given in reference 1 is modified in order to account for the effect of kinematic viscosity in reducing the turbulence in the region close to the wall. The effects of variable viscosity and of length-to-diameter ratio are also investigated."

The near noise field of static jets and some model studies of devices for noise reduction

Description: An experimental study is presented of the pressure fluctuations near jet exhaust streams made during unchoked operation of a turbojet engine and a 1-inch-diameter high-temperature model jet and during choked operation of various sizes of model jets with unheated air. The tests for unchoked operation indicate a random spectrum of rather narrow band width which varies in frequency content with axial position along the jet. Pressure surveys from the model tests along lines parallel to the 15 degre… more

Force, moment, and pressure characteristics of several annular nose inlets at Mach number 3.85

Description: Report presenting an investigation to evaluate the overall performance characteristics of several annular nose inlets in the supersonic wind tunnel at a Mach number of 3.85. The four experimental configurations investigated consisted of a one-cone, a one-cone with low angle cowl, a two-cone, and an isentropic inlet. Results regarding the internal-flow performance, force measurements at zero angle of attack, overall performance comparison at zero angle of attack, and angle-of-attack force measur… more

Comparison of model and full-scale spin recoveries obtained by use of rockets

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a 1/19-scale model of an unswept-wing trainer airplane in the 20-foot free-spinning tunnel to determine the rocket spin-recovery characteristics of the model for comparison with available full-scale-airplane results. A rocket was attached to each wing tip to fire in a direction to apply an antispin yawing moment about the Z body axis. Results regarding the full-scale spin recoveries by rockets, model spin recoveries by rudder reversal, model spin recoveries… more

Incompressible Flow Past a Sinusoidal Wall of Finite Amplitude

Description: Note presenting an investigation of some of the possible mathematical troubles that may occur in the iterative procedure so much in use in present-day aerodynamics. The analysis indicates the general undesirability of determining the velocity potential or the stream function in the form of a series whose coefficients are analytically developed in a power series of some parameter.

Use of Aerodynamic Heating to Provide Thrust by Vaporization of Surface Coolants

Description: Note presenting an analysis of the propulsive thrust and specific impulse attainable by cooling aircraft surfaces with liquefied or solidified gases with vaporization temperatures lower than the equilibrium surface temperature. Use of coolant vaporization as the sole means of propulsion yields low specific impulses at low speeds.

Study of three-dimensional internal flow distribution based on measurements in a 48-inch radial-inlet centrifugal impeller

Description: Report presenting a study of the flow distribution throughout the passage of a rotating impeller, and the results are presented in the form of relative velocity and relative pressure loss contours. The loss and velocity distributions indicate that secondary flows in the boundary layer tend to shift the low-energy air toward the blade suction within the passage. Results regarding the overall performance, performance within the passage, secondary flow and clearance effects, and a comparison with … more
