Recent Advances in Millimicrosecond Counting Techniques

Description: The author describes some of the changes that are now occurring or are likely to occur quite soon in the fast counting techniques. The author draws heavily on the information and advice of Dr. Clyde Wiegand and Mr. Quentin Kerns of the University of California Radiation Laboratory. The techniques the author mentions should be quite useful in several different types of experiments. The fast conicidence techniques are principally used for reducing background from accidental coincidences, for meas… more

Metabolism of Thioctic Acid in Algae

Description: Thioctic acid labeled with sulfur-35 has been prepared and i t s metabolism b y algae has been studied. It i s converted by the algae into a number of forms, all of which upon hydrolysis yield either the disulfide o r i t s sulfoxide. One of these constituted the major portion of the labeled material in the chloroplasts. Aerobic metabolism for some minutes i s required to produce this form. Preliminary studies of the chemical nature of this form suggest i t to be esterified on the carboxyl grou… more

The Velocity-Selecting Cerenkov Counter

Description: A number of varieties of velocity-selecting Cerenkov counters have been described by Dr. John Marshall. The authors will present a description of a counter different from any described by Marshall in his review article, but of the same type mentioned descriptively by Marshall in another article under the heading ''Cylindrical mirror counter without lens''. Some tests of this type of counter were carried out by S.J. Lindenbaum and L.C. Yuan. The counter we describe was developed for the detectio… more

The Isolation and Purification of Americium

Description: Gram amounts of americium were separated quantitatively from kilogram quantities of lanthanum to yield an americium product approaching 90% purity. The remaining impurity was chiefly yttrium. Elution of americium from 25% loaded Dowex 50 resin column with 0.15 M citric acid— 0.10 M diammonium citrate — 0.3 M ammonium nitrate, pH 3.3 gave a product containing 99% of the americium with a La/Am ratio of 1/100 or less in one fourth of a column volume, in this case about 1 100-fold volume reduction.… more

Theoretical performance of JP-4 fuel and liquid oxygen as a rocket propellant 1: frozen composition

Description: Report presenting the theoretical rocket performance for frozen composition during expansion using JP-4 fuel and liquid oxygen at two chamber pressures and several pressure ratios and oxidant-fuel ratios. The parameters included specific impulse, combustion-chamber temperature, nozzle-exit temperature, molecular weight, characteristic velocity, coefficient of thrust, ratio of nozzle-exit area to throat area, specific heat at constant pressure, isentropic exponent, viscosity, and thermal conduct… more

Regenerative-cooling studies in a 5000-pound-thrust liquid-oxygen - JP-4 rocket engine operated at 6000-pounds-per-square-inch combustion-chamber pressure

Description: A study attempting to demonstrate the feasibility of fuel cooling a liquid-oxygen-JP-4 rocket engine operating at a chamber pressure of 600 pounds per square inch and to obtain data for the heat-transfer rates at this chamber pressure. No difficulties were experienced when cooling the engine. Results regarding heat transfer and performance are provided.

Component Performance Investigation of J71 Experimental Turbine 4 - Effect of First-Stator Adjustment; Over-All Performance of J71-97 Turbine With 132-Percent-Design Stator Area

Description: An experimental invesitgation of the effect of increasing the first-stator area of the J71-97 experimental three-stage turbine from 97 percent of design to 132 percent revealed (1) the maximum efficiency obtained decreased from 0.891 to 0.869, (2) the choking equivalent weight flows increased by approximately 13.6 percent, and (3) at the turbine match points required to maintain the compressor at constant design equivalent conditions the turbine efficiency decreased from 0.87 to 0.86.
