Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Vortex Generators on the Maximum Lift of a 6-Percent-Thick Symmetrical Circular-Arc Airfoil Section

Description: Report discussing testing in the low-turbulence tunnel to determine the effectiveness of several configurations of vortex generators in increasing maximum lift of a 6-percent-thick symmetrical circular-arc airfoil section. None of the configurations tested were found to greatly increase the lift. Some of the configurations tested included a single row of vortex generators, two rows of generators, larger vortex generators, and sweeping forward the front row of generators.

Preliminary Tank Tests of Some Hydro-Ski-Wheel Combinations in the Planing Condition

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the planing characteristics of various combinations of a wheel and a hydro-ski. Models tested included at least two values of the following parameters: diameter of wheel, width of wheel, cross-section shape of wheel, fore-and-aft location of wheel, lateral location of wheel, gap between wheel and ski, rotation of wheel, and protrusion of wheel. Results regarding the general effect of a wheel, effect of wheel shape and size, effect of wheel-ski arrangement, … more

Theoretical and experimental investigation of mufflers with comments on engine-exhaust muffler design

Description: Equations are presented for the attenuation characteristics of single-chamber and multiple-chamber mufflers of both the expansion-chamber and resonator types, for tuned side-branch tubes, and for the combination of an expansion chamber with a resonator. Experimental curves of attenuation plotted against frequency are presented for 77 different mufflers with a reflection-free tailpipe termination. The experiments were made at room temperature without flow; the sound source was a loud-speaker. A … more

A Capsule Design for Experimental High-Flux Irradiations Of Fuel Materials

Description: New reactors presently in design or construction stages, as well as revised operating procedures for existing reactors, have shown an increasing emphasis on extending the exposure time of the reactor fuel elements. However, operating experience at Hanford, as at other installations, has demonstrated that as the amount of burn-up in uranium metal is increased an increase is also noted in operational difficulties resulting from the dimensional behavior of the fuel. During reactor irradiation uran… more
