Process tube boilout experiments

Description: The loss of cooling water from a Hanford production reactor has serious implications because of the accompanying reactivity transient. It is imperative that the time dependence of this transient be determined in order to evaluate properly some aspects of reactor safety. A previous experiment has been done however it was primarily in the nature of an exploratory run leading to the present experiment. The experiments described below cover a much wider range of conditions and have been used as a b… more

Drilling in the Flatirons Locality, Monument Valley, Arizona

Description: From introduction: A subsurface exploration program was undertaken to investigate the concentration of uranium and vanadium in or near the base of the Shinarump member of the Chinle formation in the Flatirons locality, and to develop criteria whereby adjacent unexplored areas could be evaluated as to potential production capacity from study of geological and mineralogical features at the host rook outcrop. An earlier study of the area by C. G. Evensen of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission had s… more

A Hydraulic Power Unit for Solvent Extraction Column Pulse Generators

Description: A power unit comprised of a reciprocating hydraulic cylinder controlled by hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical elements was developed to drive pulse generators for solvent extraction columns in the Purex Hot Semiworks. Design bases included remote control of continuouslyvariable pulse amplitudes between 1/ 2 and 1/2 inches, and pulse frequency up to 120 cycles/min. Each of nine power units operated 30 to 60 million cycles without serious difficulty, although minor modifications and correction… more

Hydrodynamic investigation of a model of a supersonic multijet water-based aircraft with engines exhausting from the step

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the hydrodynamic characteristics of a multijet water-based aircraft capable of supersonic speeds and with jet engines exhausting through the step. The step engine exhausts were found to considerably increase afterbody wetting and smooth-water resistance, but they had no significant effect on longitudinal stability. Results regarding spray characteristics, resistance and stability at constant speed, take-off stability, landing stability, and jet noise are pr… more

Free-flight skin-temperature and surface-pressure measurements on a highly polished nose having a 100 degree total-angle cone and a 10 degree half-angle conical flare section up to a Mach number of 4.08

Description: Report presenting measurements of the skin temperature and surface pressure on a large-scale, highly polished nose with a relatively sharp-tipped 100 degree total-angle cone followed by a conical flare section of 10 degree half-angle. Heating on the forward 3.0 to 4.5 inches of the 100 degrees cone was generally lower than that on the rearward portion.
