The Fabrication of Subassemblies for the Supercritical-Water Reactor

Description: In studies of the fabrication of fuel subassemblies for the supercritical-water reactor, the limited ductility of stainless steel-UO₂ fuel sheet made the fabrication of corrugated-flat-plate-type subassemblies impractical. A fabricable MTR-type assembly, 5/8 in. square and 30 in. long, was developed. Methods for edge cladding fuel sheet were developed and a brazing alloy, GE-75, was found to be corrosion resistant in supercritical water.

MEETING XII -- BEVATRON RESEARCH CONFERENCE -- BEVATRON OPERATION

Description: On February 2, the first 10 Mev proton beau was injected from the linear accelerator. Injection parameters were varied to study first turn beams with the magnet excited by a d-c generator. A few minutes after the magnetic field had been adjusted to the value calculated from magnetic measurements. the 180{sup o} beam was observed on fluorescent flags and measured with Faraday cups. During the remainder of the week several radio frequency components were installed and operated. Ground current sig… more

THE FABRICATION OF SUBASSEMBLIES FOR THE SUPERCRITICAL-WATER REACTOR

Description: In studies of the fabrication of fuel subassemblies for the supercritical-water reactor, the limited ductility of stainless steel-UO/sub 2/ fuel sheet made the fabrication of corrugated-flat-plate-type subassemblies impractical. A fabricable MTR-type assembly, 5/8 in. square and 30 in. long, was developed. Methods for edge cladding fuel sheet were developed and a brazing alloy, GE-75, was found to be corrosion resistant in supercritical water. (auth)

Characteristics of a Hydraulic Control Determined from Transient Data Obtained with a Turbojet Engine at Altitude

Description: Memorandum presenting characteristics of a hydraulic control as determined by analyzing transient data obtained with a turbojet engine operating in the altitude wind tunnel. The excellent overall performance of the speed control is attributed to the elimination of large lags in the control system, thereby permitting the use of relatively high loop gains while still maintaining satisfactory damping in transients. Some information regarding the frequency-response analysis of speed control, simula… more

Comparison of Wind-Tunnel, Rocket, and Flight Drag Measurements for Eight Airplane Configurations at Mach Numbers Between 0.7 and 1.6

Description: Report presenting comparisons of low-lift drag measurements on eight airplane configurations at a range of Mach numbers by various techniques. Data was obtained from wind tunnel testing, rocket propelled model tests, and airplane flight tests. The agreement of data is generally good and no consistent Reynolds number effects are observed.

Comparison of Wind-Tunnel, Rocket, and Flight Drag Measurements for Eight Airplane Configurations at Mach Numbers Between 0.7 and 1.6

Description: Report presenting comparisons of low-lift drag measurements on eight airplane configurations at a range of Mach numbers using various techniques. Data was obtained from wind-tunnel testing, rocket-propelled model testing, and airplane flight testing. The majority of the data showed agreement and discrepancies were likely due to issues regarding surface condition, individual test setup and accuracy, and detail geometric differences between the airplanes and respective models.
