High-Temperature Lubricants and Bearings for Aircraft Turbine Engine

Description: Memorandum presenting a consideration of the problems, research status, and future possibilities for high-temperature lubricants and bearings for aircraft turbine engines. The greater heat loads imposed by high-performance engines and practical limitation on cooling will result in increased operating temperatures for bearings and lubricants.

Quarterly progress report - metallurgy unit - April 1954--June 1954

Description: Four irradiated tensile specimens were tested in the Radiometallurgy laboratory. The uranium was from a lot rolled at Simonds Saw and STeel Company, then beta heat treated by the triple dip process. The samples were irradiated to 310 MWD/AT. The corrected exposure was 620 MWD/T after compensating for the decrease in flux depression due to the specimen size. Two of the irradiated specimens were tested in the as-received condition while the other two were vacuum annealed at 400{degree}C for 15 ho… more

Soduim Graphite Reactor, Quarterly Progress Report, September-November 1953

Description: "For a central station reactor power plant of the sodium-graphite type, two designs have been investigated. The first operates as a converter using slightly enriched uranium fuel and produces 150 electrical megawatts. The second operates as a thermal breeder using a U233-Th alloy fuel and produces 300 electrical megawatts. Consideration has also been given to the problem associated with the design and operation of the Sodium Reactor Experiment. All work related to the plutonium plus power … more
