"Charts giving the compressive-buckling stress coefficients for sheet panels of a shape occurring in swept-wing plan forms are presented. The panels are assumed to be a part of a continuous flat sheet divided by nondeflecting supports into parallelogram-shaped areas. The stability analysis was performed by the energy method and the results show that, over a wide range of panel aspect ratio, such panels are decidedly more stable than equivalent rectangular panels of the same area" (p. 1).

Report presenting an analysis of two x-ray absorption methods for determining small air-density gradients. One method uses a Geiger-Mueller counter for detection and the other uses photographic film for detection. Both of the methods are found to have some advantages and disadvantages.

Report presenting an investigation of the validity of the reduced-mass method of representing wing-lift effects in free-fall drop tests of landing gears by means of tests of a small landing gear in the impact basin. The free-fall drop tests with full weight produced excessive values of load factor, impact period, strut stroke, mass travel, and impact energy.

Report presenting an investigation to determine the vaporization rates of pure liquid drops vaporizing under conditions similar to those encountered in aircraft combustion systems using a heat-balance equation. Results regarding the analysis and experimental results are provided.

Note presenting an investigation of the instability of flow from two ducts that join into a common duct and of the influence of the various parameters on the phenomenon. A two-dimensional potential analysis was carried out under the assumption that the two ducts discharge into a region of constant pressure.

Note presenting experimental results that verify an analysis of errors occurring when thermocouples are used to measure the temperature of surfaces exposed at temperatures different from that of the surface. The data indicate that the electrical insulation of the wires is not effective in reducing the errors involved when the thermocouples are placed normal to the surface and exposed to the ambient fluids.

"When porcelain enamels or vitreous-type ceramic coatings are applied to ferrous metals, there is believed to be an evolution of hydrogen gas both during and after the firing operation. At elevated temperatures rapid evolution may result in blistering while if hydrogen becomes trapped in the steel during the rapid cooling following the firing operation gas pressures may be generated at the coating-metal interface and flakes of the coating literally blown off the metal. To determine experimentally the relative importance of the principal sources of the hydrogen causing the defects, a procedure was devised in which heavy hydrogen (deuterium) was substituted in turn for regular hydrogen in each of five possible hydrogen-producing operations in the coating process" (p. 269).

"The methods of characteristics has been linearized by assuming that the flow field can be represented as a basic flow field determined by nonlinearized methods and a linearized superposed flow field that accounts for small changes of boundary conditions. The method has been applied to two-dimensional rotational flow where the basic flow is potential flow and to axially symmetric problems where conical flows have been used as the basic flows. In both cases the method allows the determination of the flow field to be simplified and the numerical work to be reduced to a few calculations. The calculations of axially symmetric flow can be simplified if tabulated values of some coefficients of the conical flow are obtained" (p. 933).

"A general method of design is developed for two-dimensional unbranched channels with prescribed velocities as a function of arc length along the channel walls. The method is developed for both compressible and incompressible, irrotational, nonviscous flow and applies to the design of elbows, diffusers, nozzles, and so forth. In part I solutions are obtained by relaxation methods; in part II solutions are obtained by a Green's function. Five numerical examples are given in part I including three elbow designs with the same prescribed velocity as a function of arc length along the channel walls but with incompressible, linearized compressible, and compressible flow" (p. 153).

"In the analytical investigation reported herein, which was conducted in the NACA Lewis laboratory, both velocity and temperature distribution are obtained for fully developed laminar flow in tubes of gases and of liquid metals with variable fluid properties" (p. 1).

Document HW-21096, inquires regarding changes in equipment, so that various proposed flows of process water to each of the present production units, at several 105 control room pressures, may be effected. The proposed conditions are shown in table form in the report. For the purpose of calculations upon which this letter is based, the pressure used here is that which is recorded at the 105 control room ``inlet`` panel. It is actually the top of riser pressure, plus static head between the recorder and the point of pressure tap.

The following report records a total of forty-nine graphite core samples that have been bored from process tube blocks in the Hanford piles with the intention to provide results to indicate that core boring is an entirely practical operation over bore scraping in obtaining powder samples.

The following report discusses a method developed by Broida and Moyer, the method describes an emission spectrometer procedure for the determination of the ratio 100 D/(H4D).

From introduction: "The prime motive behind the experiments described in this report and in those preceding it in this series is the desire to reduce the number of Redox cycles necessary for decontamination from fission products of the plutonium and uranium streams sufficient to allow final disposition of these two products...This report deals with the mechanics of manganese dioxide handing, laboratory development of manganese dioxide scavenging, and a series of experiments at multicurie level combining ruthenium volatilization and manganese dioxide scavenging in stainless steel equipment."
