Stars in Photographic Emulsions Initiated by Deuterons Part II. Theoretical

The theory of high energy nuclear stars depends on a theory of nuclear transparency and on a theory of nuclear evaporation. The transparency can be computed on the basis of a model proposed by R. Serber as soon as the interactions between the nucleons and the incident particle are known. The evaporation can be computed on the basis of the statistical model of the nucleus as soon as the nuclear entropy and binding energies of the evaporated particles are known. With approximate values for the above interactions, entropies, and binding energies, a probability distribution has been computed for the number of prongs per star. The results are in qualitative agreement with the observations on photographic emulsions described in Part 1.

Investigation of Flow Conditions and the Nature of the Wall-Constriction Effect Near and at Choking by Means of the Hydraulic Analogy (open access)

Investigation of Flow Conditions and the Nature of the Wall-Constriction Effect Near and at Choking by Means of the Hydraulic Analogy

Report presenting an investigation of the closed wind-tunnel phenomenon of choking and the wall-constriction effects in the subsonic Mach number range where supersonic Mach numbers appear using the hydraulic analogy. Application of the results to wind tunnel testing, the subsonic choking phenomena, and effects of the walls are described.
