Liquid-Sodium Instability Experiment : Part I

Description: Abstract: "A magnetohydrodynamic model of a plasma-magnetic field instability, using liquid sodium, has been observed. The growth rate and wave length of the Taylor-type acceleration instability was observed to be in agreement with the theory of Kruskal and Schwarzschild."

Source Development Program

Description: Introduction: This note describes briefly the current concept of the experimental program on source development for mirror machines. There are two major facilities involved: (1) A comparatively small machine whose code name is "Guppy", and, (2) A larger d.c. mirror geometry whose code name is "Waldo."

DETECTION AND TELEMETERING OF IONIZING RADIATION BY FREQUENCY VARIATION

Description: Three methods are discussed for detecting ionizing radiation and transitting the intelligence. All three methods make use of the reactamce variation of a frequency determining network, to vary the frequency of an R.F. transitter as a function of ionizing radiation entering an ion chamber or counter. The first method is based on the capacitance znd subsequent frequency variation of am electrometer incorporated in an ion chamber. The variation is achieved by a moving came electrometer, where the … more

Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 0.04956-Scale Model of the Convair F-102A Airplane at Mach Numbers of 1.41, 1.61, and 2.01

Description: "Tests have been made in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at Mach numbers of 1.41, 1.61, and 2.01 of various arrangements of a 0.04956-scale model of the Convair F-102A airplane with faired inlets. Tests made of the model equipped with a plain wing, a wing with 6.4 percent conical camber, and a wing with 15 percent conical camber. Body modifications including an extended nose, a modified canopy, and extended afterbody fillets were evaluated" (p. 1).

Research on Uranium-Base Alloys. Part I, Transformation Kinetics of Uranium-Base Alloys, Final Report, November 15, 1952 - August 31, 1955

Description: Information concerning the transformation kinetics of the gamma solid solution of uranium-base alloys is important. Accordingly, the metastability of the gamma phase was investigated for nine uranium-rich alloys of the U-Mo-Pt, U-Mo-Nb, and U-Nb systems. Samples were encapsulated in Vycor bulbs, solutions treated at 1000 decrees or 1050 degrees C, quenched to and annealed at temperatures between 600 degrees and 300 degrees C. Techniques employed to follow transformation included metallography, … more
