An Experimental Investigation of the Flow Phenomena Over Bodies at High Angles of Attack at a Mach Number of 2.01

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the supersonic pressure tunnel at Mach number 2.01 to study the wake patterns in the lee of bodies at high angles of attack. The configurations tested consisted of two cylindrical body shapes, one circular and one elliptical in cross section, with a fineness-ratio-3.5 ogival nose and a fineness-ratio-6 conical nose. Results regarding vapor-screen photographs, wake characteristics, wake patterns, wake characteristics, and testing with transition strips are i… more

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Static Longitudinal and Lateral Stability of the Bell X-1A at Supersonic Speeds

Description: "An investigation to determine the static longitudinal and lateral stability characteristics of a 1/62-scale model of the Bell X-1A has been conducted in the Langley 9-inch supersonic tunnel. tests were made at Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.94, 2.22, 2.40, and 2.62 on the wing-body, wing-body-vertical-tail, and complete configurations. Data are presented for both the body and stability axes. Detailed analysis of the test results is omitted" (p. 1).

A Theoretical Analysis of a Simple Aerodynamic Device to Improve the Longitudinal Damping of a Cruciform Missile Configuration at Supersonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting a theoretical analysis of a cruciform missile configuration equipped with floating controls to determine if such controls can be utilized to improve the airframe transient response characteristics.The investigation covers either forward or aft locations of the floating controls at supersonic speeds. The results indicate that a substantial increase in airframe damping can be obtained through a proper selection of hinge-moment coefficients and through the use of a fixed-rate… more

A Systematic Study of the Effects of Leading-Edge Chord-Extensions on the Low-Speed Longitudinal Stability Characteristics of Three 45 Degree Sweptback Wings

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of a low-speed leading-edge chord extension in the 19-foot pressure tunnel. Chord-extensions of various geometric designs were tested on three 45 degree sweptback wings of aspect ratio 5 and taper ratio 0.28 incorporating different airfoil sections. The data indicated that leading-edge chord-extensions could be used to produce large reductions in the longitudinal instability of all three wings tested.

The Chemistry of Tributyl Phosphate: A Review

Description: The preparation, purification, and chemical properties of THP have been reviewed with emphasis on the hydrolytic reactions. TBP is chemically a very stable compound as evidenced by its thermal stability and resistance to oxidation. The most important reactions are hydrolytic which cleave the butyl or butoxy group and normally produce butyl alcohol together with dibutyl and monobutyl phosphate (DBP and MBP, respectively), and eventually H/sub 3/PO/sub 4/. Hydrolysis occurs in either the organic … more

Capital and Direct and Indirect Operating Cost Estimates for Mill for Recovering Uranium From Low-Grade Ore With the Higgins Continuous Ion Exchange Contactor

Description: The capital and direct and indirect operating costs were estimated for erecting and operating mills of 220 and 440 tons of ore per day capacity. The ores considered contained 0.15 or 0.30% uranium. The processes considered included crushing, grinding, acid or carbonate leaching, and final recovery of the U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ in a Higgins ion exchange contuctor with a 5 M NaCl, 1 M NaCl, 1 M NH/sub 4/NC/sub 3/, or 1 M cost estimate have been given due and careful consideration with reference to requ… more
