Effect of Blade Loading of the Climb and High-Speed Performance of a Three-Blade Hamilton Standard No. 6507A-2 Propeller on a Republic P-47D Airplane

Report presenting climb and high-speed tests of a Hamilton Standard No. 6507A-2 three-blade propeller, which have been made to determine the effect of blade loading on propeller efficiency. The normal and military power climb efficiencies were found to be about equal at altitudes below 16,000 feet.

Drag Measurements in Flight on the 10-Percent-Thick and 8-Percent-Thick Wing X-1 Airplanes

Report presenting drag measurements made on a 10-percent-thick wing and 8-percent-thick tail and a 8-percent-thick wing, 6-percent-thick tail version of the X-1 airplane at a variety of Mach numbers. The drag of the thicker wing was found to be much higher than that of the thinner wing. The fuselage was found to cause interference with the wing of both models, making the separation of wing and fuselage drag difficult to determine.

Flight Tests of a Curtiss No. 838-1C2-18 Three-Blade Propeller Having Trailing-Edge Extensions

"Flight tests to determine propeller performance have been made of a Curtiss No. 838-102-18 three-blade propeller having trailing-edge extensions on a Republic P-47D-28 airplane in climb and high speed. These tests are a part of a general propeller flight-test program at the Langley Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Results of climb tests indicate that when power is changed from approximately 1475 horsepower at 2550 rpm (roughly normal power) to 2400 horsepower at 2700 rpm (approximately military power) there is a loss in propeller efficiency of 3 percent at an altitude of 7000 feet, and 4 percent at 21,000 feet" (p. 1).

Reactivity in the South Spoils and Hillside Dump at the Midnite Mine (open access)

Reactivity in the South Spoils and Hillside Dump at the Midnite Mine

The Midnite Mine is an inactive open-pit uranium mine located on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington State. Drill samples from two large waste rock dumps on the site, known as South Spoils and Hillside Dump, were collected with a Becker hammer drill and evaluated to determine potential of the rock to generate acid mine drainage (AMD). Waste rock at this mine contains both pyrite and uranium, and AMD effects are more complicated on this site than most in that uranium is soluble in both acidic and neutral aqueous solutions. Although AMD protocols identified 26% of the South Spoils samples as potentially acid, under 7% of the spoil samples were actually producing acid. Considerable calcite exists in the South Spoils, and weathering feldspars further contribute to acid neutralization. The Hillside Dump has low concentrations of pyrite and calcite that acid-base accounting protocols would predict to be non-acidic. Accumulation of sulfate in rocks with concentrations of less than 0.3% S causes some of those normally non-acid producing rocks to produce acid in the Hillside Dump.

Diagnostic Measurements of a Highly Ionized, Steady-state Plasma

This paper is primarily intended to give an account of a few of the diagnostic techniques that have been applied to a highly ionized, steady-state helium plasma at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory. However, to establish a proper perspective it will first be well to describe briefly the system in which the plasma is generated and studied.

Mollusca From the Miocene and Lower Pliocene of Virginia and North Carolina: Part 1. Pelecypoda

Abstract: A brief sketch of the stratigraphy of the Miocene of Virginia and the Miocene and Pliocene of North Carolina was prepared by Dr. W. C. Mansfield before his death in July 1939. His purpose was "to provide a background of formational nomenclature" for the taxonomic treatment of the molluscan faunas. The physical nature and distribution of the upper Tertiary formations within those States are discussed, characteristic sections given, and diagnostic molluscan species listed. Part 1 of the systematic report covers the Pelecypoda. A monographic treatment is not attempted, but 132 previously known species are considered, and 62 new species and subspecies are described and figured.

Theoretical analysis of the motions of an aircraft stabilized in roll by a displacement-response, flicker-type automatic pilot

Report presenting a general analysis that allows the rolling motions of an aircraft using a displacement-response, flicker-type automatic pilot to be determined. The system is not ideal for many stabilization problems due to inherent residual oscillations, but it offers a simple and economical solution in situations in which steady state oscillations are not a problem. Results regarding some general remarks, transient and steady states, stabilization boundaries, amplitude equations, and period equations are provided.

Report discussing testing of a model of the pilotless aircraft RM-1 to measure aileron hinge moments in flight in order to determine the reason for loss of roll stabilization at supercritical speeds in flight. The aileron was found to become quickly underbalanced over the full deflection range at supercritical speeds.

Preliminary Results Obtained from Flight Test of a 1/7-Scale Rocket-Powered Model of the Grumman XF10F Airplane Configuration in the Swept-Wing Condition, TED No. NACA DE 354

"A flight investigation of a 1/7-scale rocket-powered model of the XF10F Grumman XF10F airplane in the swept-wing configuration has been made. The purpose of this test was to determine the static longitudinal stability, damping in pitch, and longitudinal control effectiveness of the airplane with the center of gravity at 20 percent of the wing mean aerodynamic chord. Only a small amount of data was obtained from the test because, immediately after booster separation at a Mach number of 0.88, the configuration was directionally unstable and diverged in sideslip" (p. 1).

The Determination of Thorium in the Presence of Uranium, Titanium and Tungsten

Abstract: "Thorium is separated from uranium, titanium and tungsten by precipitation as fluoride. The precipitate is ignited to oxide, dissolved in nitric acid, evaporated with perchloric acid, neutralized to a pH between 2.0 and 2.5 and titrated with the disodium salt of ethylene-ddiamine tetrascetic acid, using Eriochrome Cyanide as indicator. If less than 30 milligrams of thorium is present, lanthanum is added as a carrier."

Linear Theory of Boundary Effects in Open Wind Tunnels With Finite Jet Lengths

"In the first part, the boundary conditions for an open wind tunnel (incompressible flow) are examined with special reference to the effects of the closed entrance and exit sections. In the second part, solutions are derived for four types of two-dimensional open tunnels, including one in which the pressures on the two free surfaces are not equal. In the third part, a general method is given for calculating the boundary effect in an open circular wind tunnel of finite jet length" (p. 509).
