Radiation Damage to Organic Ion-Exchange Materials

Description: From abstract: "The stability of polystyrene and phenolic ion-exchange resins to radiation from a Co60 source and from absorbed Ce144-PR144 was investigated. Sulfonated polystyrene cation-exchange resins lost 10 to 20% of their capacity per watt-hour of radiation absorbed per gram of oven-dry resin, while the quaternary amine anion-exchange polystyrene resins lost about 40%. Phenolic cation-exchange resins lost only 1%."

Thermal-Shock Resistance of a Ceramic Comprising 60 Percent Boron Carbide and 40 Percent Titanium Diboride

Description: Thermal-shock resistance of a ceramic comprising 60 percent boron carbide and 40 percent titanium diboride was investigated. The material has thermal shock resistance comparable to that of NBS body 4811C and that of zirconia, but is inferior to beryllia, alumina, and titanium-carbide ceramals. It is not considered suitable for turbine blades.

Investigation of distribution of losses in a conservatively designed turbine

Description: "A primary objective of turbine research is to obtain information that will aid in the design of gas turbines for any given application with minimum losses. As part of a program to obtain such information, flow surveys downstream of both the stator and the rotor of an experimental turbine were made in order to obtain detailed information about the flow conditions and the losses within the machine. The single-stage, low-radius-ratio turbine studied is relatively conservative in design, having lo… more
