Examination of Ornl 1 and 2 Intermediate Heat Exchangers, Type Ihe-3

Description: Failure, which resulted in the stoppage of fluoride flow in ORNL No. 1, occurred as a NaK to fuel leak in the vicinity of the NaK inlet heater. The reaction of NaK with fuel at this point caused the deposition of nearly pure UF/ sub 3/ around the tubes and, finally, a sufficient increase in the melting point of the fuel to produce solidification. Fluorides throughout the heat exchangers were found to be depleted in uranium and to contain some potassium. Thus it would appear that stoppage of flo… more

Effect of Wing Size and Amount of Indentation on Applicability of Transonic Area Rule to Swept-Wing Configurations

Description: Memorandum presenting a systematic transonic zero-lift drag investigation utilizing a swept-wing configuration with three different ratios of wing to fuselage size utilizing a 6-inch helium gun. The experiments and comparisons with other results indicated that the reduction of pressure drag obtainable from partial indentation is approximately proportional to the amount of indentation employed up to a Mach number of 1.3. Results regarding the basic data, total drag, pressure drag, equivalent bod… more

Free-Flight Investigation of Effects of Simulated Sonic Turbojet Exhaust on the Drag of Twin-Jet Boattail Bodies at Transonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting a flight investigation to determine the effect of a propulsive jet on the zero-lift drag characteristics of two twin-exit boat-tailed bodies at transonic speeds. The two models had ratios of jet area to base area of 0.394 and 0.590 and covered a Mach number range of 0.8 to 1.15. A slight reduction in drag coefficients from power-off values are obtained during power-on flight for both models.
