Final report on Production Test No. 105-551-SR -- The fission gas experiment, KAPL-M-108

Description: This experiment was designed to furnish data on the quantitative relationship between exposure of enriched uranium metal to thermal neutron bombardment and the subsequent release of gaseous fission fragments from the metal. Studies of data obtained from the in-pile phase of the KAPL Fission Gas Experiment indicate, neglecting startup and shutdown transients, that gaseous fission fragments generated within a 6-mill foil of uranium metal maintained at an operating temperature of about 450 C are r… more

Macro-examination of enriched uranium slug ruptures

Description: This report covers the preliminary data obtained in a metallurgical study of the three enriched uranium slugs which ruptured in the 100-C Pile. The three slugs were from PT-105-532-A2, ``Irradiation of Enriched Uranium Slugs,`` a test conducted by Pile Technology for the purpose of studying the effects of high specific powers in uranium slugs. The uranium used in this test was enriched to 1.75.

Effect of Jet-Nozzle-Expansion Ratio on Drag of Parabolic Afterbodies

Description: The interaction of the flow from one convergent and two convergent-divergent nozzles on parabolic afterbodies was studied at free-stream Mach numbers of 2.0, 1.6, and 0.6 over a range of jet pressure ratio. The influence of the jet on boattail and base drag was very pronounced. Study of the total external afterbody drag values at supersonic speeds indicated that, over most of the high-pressure-ratio range, increasing the nozzle design expansion ratio increased the drag even though the boattail … more

Blow-out velocities of various petroleum, slurry, and hydride fuels in a 1 7/8-inch diameter combustor

Description: Report presenting testing using a 1 7/8-inch inside-diameter combustor that can measure and compare the blow-out velocities of single-component fuels, slurries, and fuel mixtures with a wide range of reactivity and physical properties. The blow-out velocities of isooctane, n-heptane, isopentane, allyl chloride, and propylene oxide varied int he same way as flame speeds of the fuels. Results regarding the effects of different additives are also provided.
