Kinetics of the Los Alamos Power Reactor Experiment (LAPRE)

Description: A theoretical study of the kinetics of a model of the Los Alamos Power Reactor Experiment (LAPRE) was made through integration of the dynamic equations with the IBM 701 computer. The stability is investtgated under various conditions of power demand, rod-induced reactivity changes, and other conditions especially applicable to LAPRE. The results are given in graphical form, along with conclusions as to appropriate conditions of operation. (auth)

Downwash Behind a Triangular Wing of Aspect Ratio 3 - Transonic Bump Method

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the lift, drag, pitching-moment, and downwash characteristics of a triangular wing of aspect ratio 3 with an NACA 63A006 section. Downwash was measured by using an all-movable horizontal tail at five locations. Results regarding basic wing characteristics and stability contribution of the tail are also provided.

Investigation of a high-pressure-ratio eight-stage axial-flow research compressor with two transonic inlet stages 2: preliminary analysis of over-all performance

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the overall performance of a 20-inch-tip-diameter, eight-stage axial-flow compressor conducted as the initial step in an investigation of the problems encountered in a high-pressure-ratio axial-flow compressor with transonic inlet stages. The investigation was made over a range of weight flows at equivalent speeds from 30 to 100 percent of design speed. Results regarding the overall performance, stage performance, comparison with design, and engine applicat… more

A study of the effects of body shape on the vortex wakes of inclined bodies at a Mach number of 2

Description: Report presenting visual-flow studies made of the behavior of the vortices which form in the separated flow region in the lee of an inclined body of revolution. Generally, the configuration of vortices in the wake could be changed by varying the position of the crossflow separation lines along the sides of the body. Results regarding the effects of body expansion, effect of body cross-sectional asymmetry, Reynolds number effects, and effects of vortex configuration on body forces are provided.

Factors Which Affect Formation and Deposition of Transport Corrosion Products in High-Temperature Recirculating Water Loops

Description: Deposits of corrosion products form on heat transfer surfaces and in radiation flux zones attemperatures around 500 deg F in stainless steel systems operating with circulating watcr. The report considers the possible harmful effects of such deposits on heat transfer and fluid flow, as well as factors involved in the origin of these corrosion products and in the mechanisms of deposition. The prevention of d electrostatic methods is discussed. (auth)

Battelle Memorial Institute trip report, November 1953

Description: The hot pressing die successfully bonded a composite of Ni plate U and Al. A die for step processing is being fabricated. Cu and Mg additions to the AlSi bath lower the dipping temperature but increase intermetallic formation with ductility loss. Optimum dipping rate for continuous AlSi coatings has been established. Extrusion of Al over a cylindrical core was successful. 7.5% Zr-U is not sensitive to oxygen content under crevice corrosion in boiling demineralized water. A method was developed … more

PLUTONIUM TRICHLORIDE: PREPARATION BY REACTION WITH PHOSGENE OR CARBON TETRACHLORIDE, AND BOMB REDUCTION TO METAL

Description: Batches of plutonium dioxide were chlorinated by reaction with phosgene or carbon tetrachloride. Plutonium trichloride prepared by either method can be reduced to the metal in an hermetically sealed bomb by reaction with calcium. It has been demonstrated that a method for the reduction of plutonium trichloride to the metal without the use of a booster can be developed. Soluble plutonium in slag and crucible waste can be precipitated as the hydroxide and washed essentially free of chloride conta… more
