The Reaction of Ferric Chloride With Uranium Tetrachloride

Description: Abstract: Solid ferric chloride reacts with solid uranium tetrachloride to form a complex iron-uranium chloride compound at approximately 263°C. The vapor pressure of this compound is nearer to that of uranium tetrachloride than to the vapor pressure of ferric chloride.

General Report of Stable Isotope Separation

Description: Abstract: "The Calutron has been successfully employed to separate the stable isotopes of twenty-one elements. The standard Beta M-2 unit modified to handle charge materials of various temperature ranges has proven adequate for a majority of separations. The problem of K life has received considerable attention but is still to be solved. Other operational problems are similar in most respects to those of uranium. The E design has, of necessity, varied greatly from the "Beta Gloria" type. A desi… more

Effects of Induction-System Icing on Aircraft-Engine Operating Characteristics

Description: "An investigation was conducted on a multicylinder aircraft engine on a dynamometer stand to determine the effect of induction-system icing on engine operating characteristics and to compare the results with those of a previous laboratory investigation in which only the carburetor and the engine-stage supercharger assembly from the engine were used. The experiments were conducted at simulated glide power, low cruise power, and normal rated power through a range of humidity ratios and air temper… more

Two-Dimensional Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Modified NACA 65(sub 112)-111 Airfoil with 35-Percent-Chord Slotted Flap at Reynolds Numbers up to 25 Million

Description: From Summary: "An investigation has been made in the Langley two-dimensional low-turbulence tunnels to develop the optimum configuration of a .035-chord slotted flap on an NACA 65(sub(112)-111 airfoil section modified by removing the trailing-edge cusp. Included in the investigation were measurements to determine the scale effects on the section lift and drag characteristics of the airfoil with the flap retracted for Reynolds numbers ranging from 3.0 X 10(exp 6) to 2.5 X 10(exp 6). The scale ef… more

Altitude-Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the 19B-2, 19B-8, and 19XB-1 Jet-Propulsion Engines 2 - Analysis of Turbine Performance of the 19B-8 Engine

Description: "Performance characteristics of the turbine in the 19B-8 jet propulsion engine were determined from an investigation of the complete engine in the Cleveland altitude wind tunnel. The investigation covered a range of simulated altitudes from 5000 to 30,000 feet and flight Mach numbers from 0.05 to 0.46 for various tail-cone positions over the entire operable range of engine speeds. The characteristics of the turbine are presented as functions of the total-pressure ratio across the turbine and th… more
