The Reaction Between Hydrogen and Oxygen by Catalysis and the Thermal Reaction

Description: From abstract: "The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen with the aid of various catalysts (especially platinum on aluminua) has been studied, and the operating variables such as flow rates, space velocity, temperature, and gas composition have been examined rather extensively. It has been found that hydrogen and oxygen in stoichiometric proportions and mixed with either steam or helium may be made to react to the extent of 99.5% or greater at space velocities up to 30,000 hr-1, or even higher,… more

A Preliminary Low-Speed Wind-Tunnel Investigation of a Thin Delta Wing Equipped With a Double and a Single Slotted Flap

Description: Report presenting a low-speed wind-tunnel investigation to determine the high-lift characteristics of a thin delta wing equipped with a single and double slotted trailing edge flap. Results regarding the lift, drag, and pitching-moment characteristics of the plain wing and various flap configurations are provided. The maximum lift coefficient of the model could be increased from 1.45 for the plain wing to 1.86 when the double slotted flap was deflected to 50 degrees.

Aerodynamic characteristics at transonic speeds of a wing having a 45 degree sweep, aspect ratio 8, taper ratio 0.45, and airfoil sections varying from the NACA 63A010 section at the root to the NACA 63A006 section at the tip.

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 7- by 10-foot tunnel to determine the transonic aerodynamic characteristics of a wing with a spanwise variation in thickness ratio. The wings investigated had 45 degrees of sweepback, aspect ratio 8, taper ratio 0.45, and airfoil sections tapered from an NACA 63A010 section at the root chord to an NACA 63A006 section at the tip chord. Results regarding lift characteristics, drag characteristics, and pitching-moment characteristics are provided.

Electromagnetic Research Division Quarterly Progress Report: Part I for Period Ending December 31, 1951

Description: From abstract: "Operation of the 86-inch cyclotron has been continuous except for a three-day interruption caused by a water leak inside the vacuum chamber; monthly output has averaged over 210,000 [mu]a-hr; the average continuous (168-hour week) beam power has been approximately 5.5 kw; and the energy of the beam has been determined to be ~19.4 Mev. No changes due to radiation damage have been detected in Inconel tubes containing UF4-NaF-KF eutectic which were irradited in the 96-inch cyclotro… more
