Final reports on PT 105-551-A and Supplement A, ``High exposure thorium`` and PT 105-516-A, ``Effects of irradiation of thorium slugs``

Description: This report discusses Production Test 105-516-A which was written to determine the stability by both measurement and visual examination, of thorium slugs as used in flattening columns to exposures in excess of 400 MWD/AT. Both rolled and extruded thorium slugs were used; the highest exposures reached were about 1000 MWD/AT. Also discussed is Production Test 105-551-A which was written to demonstrate the stability of thorium slugs as used in flattening columns at exposures up to approximately 15… more

Thrust and pumping characteristics of a series of ejector-type exhaust nozzles at subsonic and supersonic flight speeds

Description: Report presenting an investigation conducted in the 8- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel to determine the thrust and pumping characteristics of a series of ejector exhaust nozzles. Data were obtained for various ejector diameter and spacing ratios at a range of Mach numbers, pressure-ratio ranges, and secondary-primary weight-flow ratios. Results regarding the primary-nozzle mass-flow coefficients, performance comparison of configurations, effect of free-stream Mach number on the ejectors, net t… more

Thrust and Pumping Characteristics of a Series of Ejector-type Exhaust Nozzles at Subsonic and Supersonic Flight Speeds

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the supersonic wind tunnel to determine the thrust and pumping characteristics of a series of ejector exhaust nozzles. Results indicated that the free-stream Mach number had no effect on those characteristics of the ejectors in the range for which the secondary flow was choked.

Altitude-wind-tunnel investigation of several afterburner configurations having moderately high burner-inlet velocities

Description: From Introduction: "The screech investigation, reported in reference 1, included a large number of afterburner configurations. Several of these configurations are presented herein to show the effects of afterburner-inlet gas whirl pattern, flame-holder design, and fuel distribution on performance as determined by combustion efficiency, augmented thrust ratio, and special fuel consumption."

Performance of a supersonic ramp inlet with internal boundary-layer scoop

Description: Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the effect on inlet performance of several boundary-layer scoops mounted inside a ramp-type inlet in the 8 by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel over a range of Mach numbers. Results regarding typical variations of inlet-diffuser pressure recovery, peak recovery, inlet stability range, and effect of inlet sizing are provided.

Effectiveness of boundary-layer removal near throat of ramp-type side inlet at free-stream Mach number of 2.0

Description: Report presenting the effect of removal of the boundary layer inside the inlet on the performance of a twin-duct side-air-intake system in the 8- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel at a free-stream Mach number of 2.0. Results regarding the internal performance characteristics of inlets, supercritical mass-flow ratio, diffuser total-pressure recovery, and effect of bleeding the boundary layer are provided.

Safety Analysis of the Storage and Handling of the SRE Fuel

Description: "The most hasardous conditions relating to the storage and handling of the SRE fuel are those in which water and fuel form a possible critical assembly. Therefore, this memorandum is primarily devoted to an analysis of the conditions necessary for a critical mixture of water and SRE fuel. Certain special geometries are then analyzed for their safeness."
