The hazards to humans of wildfowl on REDOX contaminated swamp

Description: Ducks, geese, coots, and other wild birds, both migratory and resident, have been swimming on the Redox waste water pond and eating the herbage and mud on the bottom. The pond is caused by the discharge of five to ten million gallons of water a day from the heating and cooling coils of reactor vessels in the Redox plant. At least twice in recent months leaks in the coils have permitted solutions of radioactive material to escape to the swamp. Once the leak was in the waste concentrator tank and… more

The effects of tip-mounted jet nacelles on the transonic characteristics of low-aspect-ratio wings

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the effects of tip-mounted jet-engine nacelles on the aerodynamic characteristics of low-aspect-ratio rectangular and tapered wings using the transonic-bump technique. The effect of the tip-mounted nacelles was generally to increase the lift-curve slopes for wings of aspect ratio 2 or larger with upper or lower mounted nacelles causing larger increases than symmetrically mounted nacelles. Results regarding rectangular wings and tapered wings are provided.

Aerodynamic Characteristics of Two Delta Wings at Mach Number 4.04 and Correlations of Lift and Minimum-Drag Data for Delta Wings at Mach Numbers From 1.62 to 6.9

Description: Report presenting tests of the aerodynamic characteristics of two delta wings of the same aspect ratio and airfoil sections at Mach number 4.04. The results indicated that the ratio of the experimental lift-curve slope to the theoretical two-dimensional lift-curve slope from previous testing is valid at this Mach number.

Some Studies of the Products of the High-Energy Fission Process

Description: Abstract: "The energy-dependence of the formation cross section of certain nuclides formed in fission of uranium and thorium has been studied. Excitation functions in the hundred-Mev region are given for Ni66, Zr97, Ag111, Ba131, and Ba139. Protons, deuterons, and alpha particles from the Berkeley 184-inch frequency modulated synchro-cyclotron were used to induce the activities."

An Investigation of the Effects of a Vortex-Generator Configuration on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 1/4-Scale Model of the X-1 Airplane (10-Percent-Thick Wing)

Description: From Summary: "An investigation of a vortex-generator configuration on the wings of a l/4-scale model of the X-1 airplane having a 10-percent-thick wing was conducted in the Langley 16-foot transonic tunnel. The effect of the vortex generators was determined by comparing the model aerodynamic characteristics, wing-pressure distributions, and wing-wake patterns for model configurations with and without vortex generators on the wings. Results are presented from tests at 0.1 increments in Mach num… more
