Interim report, Poison splines flexible control system

Description: This report discusses a system which has been conceived whereby additional flexible reactivity control in the production reactors can be achieved by introducing neutron absorbers contained in thin flexible metal strips between the slugs and the process tube wall. These splines are potentially attractive in that it is possible they could be used to provide additional flexible control during operation as well as temporary control during outages.

Boundary-Layer Transition at High Reynolds Numbers as Obtained in Flight of a 20 Degree Cone-Cylinder With Wall to Local Stream Temperature Ratios Near 1.0

Description: Boundary-layer transition data at low ratios of wall to local stream temperature have been obtained during the free flight of a highly polished cone-cylinder to a maximum Mach number of 5.02 A maximum transition Reynolds number of 32 x 10(exp 6) occurred at a distance of 25.84 inches from the cone apex. The temperature ratio at transition for a local Mach number of 4.0 was approximately 1.30 as compared with theoretical infinite stability solutions of 1.47 and 1.65 by Dunn and Lin (three-dimens… more

Effect of surface-active additives on physical properties of slurries of vapor-process magnesium

Description: The presence of 3 to 5 percent surface-active additive gave the lowest Brookfield apparent viscosity, plastic viscosity, and yield value that were obtained for slurry fuels containing approximately 50 percent vapor-process magnesium in JP-1 fuel. The slurries settled little and were easily remixed. A polyoxyethylene dodecyl alcohol was the most effective of 13 additives tested in reducing the Brookfield apparent viscosity and the yield value of the slurry. The seven most effective additives all… more

A Method for Determining the Composition of Methanol-Trimethyl Borate Mixtures

Description: A study of mixtures of pure methanol and trimethyl borate showed that the composition can be accurately obtained by a simple density determination. The refractive-index determination gives the composition with much less accuracy. The potentiometric titration of boric acid is also discussed.

Wind-Tunnel Measurements of the Dynamic Cross Derivative (Rolling Moment Due to Yawing Velocity and to Acceleration in Sideslip) of the Douglas D-558-II Airplane and Its Components at Supersonic Speeds Including Description of the Technique

Description: Report presenting a technique and the results obtained of wind-tunnel forced-oscillation tests on a model of the Douglas D-558-II airplane which was instrumented to obtain the dynamic cross derivative and static derivative. Tests were conducted for a range of Mach numbers and angles of attack. Results regarding sample calculations of the period and damping of the full-scale airplane are provided despite not being conclusive due to the inadequate number of flight conditions investigated.

Performance of four experimental high btu-per-gallon fuels in a single turbojet combustor

Description: Performance characteristics of four hydrocarbon fuels having high Btu per gallon were determined in a single turbojet combustor. At simulated low-altitude operating conditions, the fuels with high Btu per gallon generally produced more carbon than did JP-4 and JP-5 fuels. The deposits were reduced appreciably with a fuel-oil additive. At high-altitude conditions, the high Btu-per-gallon fuels gave lower efficiencies than did JP-4 or JP-5 fuels. No attempts were made to improve performance by co… more
