The NACA high-speed motion-picture camera optical compensation at 40,000 photographs per second

Description: The principle of operation of the NACA high-speed camera is completely explained. This camera, operating at the rate of 40,000 photographs per second, took the photographs presented in numerous NACA reports concerning combustion, preignition, and knock in the spark-ignition engine. Many design details are presented and discussed, details of an entirely conventional nature are omitted. The inherent aberrations of the camera are discussed and partly evaluated. The focal-plane-shutter effect of th… more

Effect of Mach and Reynolds Numbers on the Maximum Lift Coefficient Obtainable in Gradual and Abrupt Stalls of a Pursuit Airplane Equipped With a Low-Drag Wing

Description: Report discussing flight tests on a low-drag wing pursuit airplane to determine the effects of Mach and Reynolds numbers on the maximum lift coefficient obtainable in gradual and abrupt stalls. The obtainable maximum lift coefficient was found to be greatly affected by the Mach and Reynolds numbers in gradual stall. In abrupt stalls, the maximum lift coefficient was affected by the Mach number, but not the Reynolds number.

Consequences of high power levels

Description: This memo discusses the effects of advancing to higher power levels of the 105 Piles (D-Pile). It is concluded that there is no technical reason against a cautious advance to higher powers; the units can be run at higher levels than their rating of 250 MW, or the additional reactivity that they will gain with time may be taken entirely in the form of lower peak temperatures and radiation levels. The decision as to what course to follow between these extremes involves such issues as the best use… more

Monsanto Chemical Company, Unit 3 abstracts of progress reports, August 16--31, 1945: Summary of work to date on volatile neutron source

Description: It was proposed to prepare a volatile polonium compound which could be used alone or with another gaseous compound as a neutron source. The objective was to obtain a neutron source which would give off few neutrons in the expanded state, but when condensed would act substantially as a thick target and emit perhaps ten times as many neutrons. Originally, polonium hexafluoride was suggested; with such compound the fluorine atoms would constitute the target. the predicted boiling point of polonium… more

The Precipitation of Lanthanum from Solution in the Presence of Radiation

Description: Abstract. In order to anticipate radiation - chemical effects in solutions of active lanthanum, various solutions and suspensions containing lanthanum were irradiated with an electron beam. Separation of lanthanum from barium by the alcoholic HCl method is not rendered less efficient by radiation, although considerable gas evolution occurs. Suspensions of lanthanum as hydroxide and as ferrocyanide are not appreciably solubilized by radiation. Lanthanum oxalate is decomposed by radiation, is p… more

Theory of Oscillating Absorber in a Chain Reacting Pile

Description: Abstract. the fluctuation in pile intensity caused by an oscillating point absorber is calculation. It is found that the nature of the response depends on the frequency of the impressed oscillation. If the frequency is high compared to the decay rate of the high harmonics, the response consists of a wave which is propagated away from the oscillator. If the frequency is low, the propagated wave character of the response disappears and the intensity of the whole pile tends to oscillate with the s… more
