The effects of boundary-layer control on the longitudinal characteristics of a swept-back wing using suction through streamwise slots in the outboard portion of the wing

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of a simplified form of boundary-layer control on the low-speed longitudinal characteristics of a sweptback wing. The primary objective was to improve the longitudinal characteristics of the sweptback wing at lift coefficients below the maximum. Results regarding the characteristics of the wing without boundary-layer control and effects of boundary-layer control are provided.

Analysis of Lid Tank Neutron Data for Lead and Iron

Description: Abstract: An analysis of the lid tank neutron data for Pb-H2O and Fe-H2O is made. "Effective" fast neutron cross sections for the metals are obtained. This is based on the "one collision theory" of shielding. Values are 3.4 barns for Pb and 2.0 barns for Fe. These compare very well with those obtained by Albert and Welton based on other lid tank data and another method of calculation.
