Some Excitation Functions of Bismuth (open access)

Some Excitation Functions of Bismuth

Excitation functions have been measured, using a 38-Mev alpha-beam and a 19-Mev deuteron beam for the following reactions: Bi({alpha},2n)At{sup 211}, Bi({alpha},3n)At{sup 210}, Bi(d,p)Ra E, Bi(d,n)Po{sup 210}, and Bi(d,3n)Po{sup 209}. The results are summarized in Figs. 4 and 5 and Tables I and II. A new isotope of astatine, At{sup 210}, has been identified; this isotope has a half life of 8.3 hr., decaying by K-capture to Po{sup 210} with the emission of a 1.0-Mev gamma-ray and a few conversion electrons.

Analysis of parameters for thrust control of a turbojet engine equipped with air-inlet throttle and variable-area exhaust nozzle

From Introduction: "In this report, altitude, airplane velocity, exhaust-nozzle area, and turbine-inlet temperature were chosen and corresponding engine speed, fuel flow, and throttle pressure ratio were found. A detailed discussion of the engine analysis and the calculations used are presented in Appendix A. The derivations of the principal equations used are presented in appendix B."

Wind-Tunnel Tests of a Swept-Blade Propeller and Related Straight Blades Having Thickness Ratios of 5 and 6 Percent (open access)

Wind-Tunnel Tests of a Swept-Blade Propeller and Related Straight Blades Having Thickness Ratios of 5 and 6 Percent

Report discussing the aerodynamic characteristics of three sets of blades over as wide a range of operating conditions as possible. One set of blades was conventional, one had blades that embodied sweep, and one was a nonswept set with thinner blade sections. The sweptback blades were found to be generally inferior to the straight blades, but the Mach numbers tested were not high enough to include speeds that might benefit from sweepback.
