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

The Critical Mass of a Spherical Reactor with Variable Intrinsic Buckling

Description: Abstract: "The critical mass both of an untamped and water-tamped sphere with parabolic radial variation of the intrinsic buckling is calculated by a perturbation method. The result is applied to finding the minimum critical mass of plutonium in water suspension with infinite water temper; the calculations show that the minimum critical mass at constant concentration may be reduced by an amount of the order of 7.6% when the concentration of plutonium is permitted to vary throughout the suspensi… more

Determination of Organic Acids in Process Solutions

Description: Abstract: "A method has been established for the estimation of volatile organic acids in aqueous process solutions containing UNH, nitric acid, ANN, sodium dichromate and small amounts of hexone. The practice is to distill a 400 ul or 500 ul sample in the presence of an excess of phosphoric acid and ferrous sulfate under a high vacuum; a special apparatus utilizing a receiver cooled with a dry ice-isopropanol mixture is employed. The distillate is taken up in isopropanol and then titrated poten… more

The Coulometric Titration of 8-Hydroxyquinoline

Description: Abstract: "A new method of determining 8-hydroxyquinoline by titration with electrolytucally-generated bromine has been developed. Results show good precision in the range 0.4 mg. to 1.6 mg. total 8-hydroxyquinoline, with 99% confidence limits of less than +/- 2%. An electronically-regulated constant current source, required by the method, is described. A new indicator system with high sensitivity to free bromine is discussed."

The Coulometric Determination of Acetic Acid

Description: Abstract: "Small amounts of acetic acid, equivalent to 400 ul. of 0.3 to 0.13 g/L. can be titrated coulonatrically in the presence of a 10 to 25-fold excess of HN03 in 70%, isopropanol. An accuracy of +/- 0.1% and a precision of +/- 8.5% (99% limite) are obtained.

Investigations Relating to the Extension of Laminar Flow by Means of Boundary-Layer Suction Through Slots

Description: Note presenting experimental investigations of boundary-layer suction through slots as a means of increasing the extent of laminar flow on airfoil sections. The results show that, with the use of suitable slots, substantial increases in the extent of laminar flow can be achieved by boundary-layer control with only a small expenditure of power. Results regarding slot geometry and arrangement, suction slots in an unfavorable pressure gradient, suction slots in a favorable pressure gradient, and d… more

Quantitative Study of Variations in Concentration of Glycerol and Aerosol OT on Foaming Volume of Oil at Room Temperature

Description: "The amount of foam that can be formed in the presence of certain pure chemical agents was investigated by a new method. The effect of variations in concentration and proportion of Aerosol OT and glycerol was studied and the effects of various other mixtures have been given for comparison. Both Gulf Agent and Aerosol-OT - glycerol mixtures, when present in comparable amounts, prohibited the formation of the normal volumes of foam to the same extent and in the optimum cases reduced it to only on… more

Effect of Various Compounds in Use With Airplane Engines Upon Foaming of Aircraft Lubricating Oil

Description: Report presenting an investigation of aircraft lubricating oil that is contaminated with various materials used in connection with airplane engines or contained in the fuel. Over 60 of the materials have been tested to determine their influence on the foaming of an aircraft lubricating oil. All but 13 of the compounds were found to have a small or negligible effect, but the other 13 were found to be strong foaming agents.

The Buckling of Parallel Simply Supported Tension and Compression Members Connected by Elastic Deflectional Springs

Description: Note presenting an investigation of the problem of the buckling of parallel simply supported tension and compression members connected by equally stiff and equally spaced elastic deflection springs as an approximation to the problem of the effect of finite stiffness of ribs and tension surface on the buckling load of the compression surface of a wing. Charts relating compressive buckling load, deflectional spring stiffness, and the ratio of the flexural stiffness of the members are given for te… more

Effect of forebody warp on the hydrodynamic qualities of a hypothetical flying boat having a hull length-beam ratio of 15

Description: Report of an investigation of the effect of forebody warp on the hydrodynamic qualities of a hypothetical flying boat with a hull length-beam ratio of 15 in smooth water and in waves. Warping the forebody planing bottom was found to appreciably increase the range of stable trim between the lower and upper trim limits of stability, although the center-of-gravity limits of stability were reduced.

Study by the Prandtl-Glauert method of compressibility effects and critical Mach number for ellipsoids of various aspect ratios and thickness ratios

Description: From Summary: "By the use of a form of the Prandtl-Glauert method that is valid for three-dimensional flow problems, the value of the maximum incremental velocity for compressible flow about thin ellipsoids at zero angle of attack is calculated as a function of the Mach number for various aspect ratios and thickness ratios. The critical Mach numbers (within the accuracy of the Prandtl-Glauert method) of the various ellipsoids are also determined. The results indicate an increase in critical Mac… more

Investigation of Meteorological Conditions Associated with Aircraft Icing in Layer-Type Clouds for 1947-48 Winter

Description: Rotating-cylinder measurements of the icing conditions encountered in flight during the winter of 1947-48 are presented. Liquid water content, drop size, and temperature data are shown to be consistent with previously measured conditions and with proposed maximum icing conditions in supercooled layer-type clouds. Cumulative frequency graphs of meteorological parameters indicate the frequency with which various icing conditions have been encountered in the Great Lakes area and surrounding states. more
