Boiling Reactors: A Preliminary Investigation

Description: Technical report detailing kinetic equations that have been developed for a boiling-type reactor and inherent reactor stability studies that have been made on the basis of these equations. Presents features of the proposed reactor, comparisons of circulating types, investigations of bubble-rise velocities, effects of transient conditions of vapor mass in steam chest, and bubble time delay functions yield favorable results.

Mass Spectrometer Studies of Ion Sources for One Shot AcceleratorTube

Description: A simple mass spectrometer using 60 degree focusing was set up to study the (illegible) of the ions produced by various types of sources. A schematic diagram of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 1, which is to a large extent self-explanatory. The isolation transformer was simply a piece of RG (illegible) cable about three feet long and was used in order to operate the source at high accelerating voltage allowing the collector to be at essentially ground potential. The collimating slits were 0.05 (… more

Altitude investigation of 16 flame-holder and fuel-system configurations in tail-pipe burner

Description: From Introduction: "The data obtained for each configuration are presented in a manner to show the effects of fuel distribution and flame-holder design on net thrust, specific fuel consumption, exhaust-gas temperature, combustion efficiency, operable range of tail-pipe-burner fuel-air ratios, and maximum altitude limit."

Investigation of a 24-inch shock-in-rotor type supersonic compressor designed for simple radial equilibrium behind normal shock

Description: A 24-inch-diameter shock-in-rotor supersonic compressor rotor designed to obtain simple radial equilibrium behind the normal shock obtained a maximum total-pressure ratio of 2.02 at an adiabatic efficiency of 0.74 and a weight flow of 61.5 pounds per second at design speed. Although this design method considerably reduced the radial forces, there was no apparent reduction in the radial forces, there was no apparent reduction in the radial redistribution of mass flow over the radial redistributi… more

Experimental Investigation of an 0.8 Hub-Tip Radius-Ratio, Nontwisted-Rotor-Blade Turbine

Description: "An experimental investigation of a 0.8 hub-tip radius ratio, nontwisted-rotor-blade turbine designed for a stagnation-pressure ratio of 2.5 and an equivalent mean blade speed of 643 feet per second was made in a cold-air turbine with (a) nontwisted stator blades, and (b) twisted stator blades designed to maintain zero rotor-inlet incidence angles. Turbine efficiencies of the order of 0.85 at the design point were obtained with a nontwisted-rotor-blade turbine with a hub-tip radius ratio of 0.8… more

Flow Separation Ahead of a Blunt Axially Symmetric Body at Mach Numbers 1.76 to 2.10

Description: "The pressure distribution and drag were determined for a spherical-nosed axially symmetric body with thin projecting rods at Mach numbers of 1.76, 1.93, and 2.10. The upstream projection distance of the rods was varied over a wide range to study changes in the character of the flow separation and to determine the variation of drag and pressure distribution with tip projection. Drag coefficients between 0.18 and 0.30 were obtained for most tip projections at each Mach number" (p. 1).

Neutron Economy of Various Converter Reactor Designs

Description: The following report determines how many neutrons are being absorbed in various converter reactor designs, how many neutrons leak from the reactor and the breakdown between fast and thermal leakage. Another interest this paper examines is to determine how many neutrons are absorbed in thorium in the resonance region, at thermal energy, and in the blanket.

[Photograph of a woman with Gwendolyn and Gene Jr.]

Description: Photograph of a woman sitting on the steps of a front porch with Gwendolyn and Gene Jr. The woman leans forward to pet a small dog that sits on the step below them. The woman's fair hair is neatly styled and she wears a white, long-sleeved shirt with a long, dark skirt. The children sit on either side of her. They look down at the dog with a smile. The entrance to a brick house is visible behind them.
