The Fabrication of Subassemblies for the Supercritical-Water Reactor (open access)

The Fabrication of Subassemblies for the Supercritical-Water Reactor

In studies of the fabrication of fuel subassemblies for the supercritical-water reactor, the limited ductility of stainless steel-UO₂ fuel sheet made the fabrication of corrugated-flat-plate-type subassemblies impractical. A fabricable MTR-type assembly, 5/8 in. square and 30 in. long, was developed. Methods for edge cladding fuel sheet were developed and a brazing alloy, GE-75, was found to be corrosion resistant in supercritical water.

Airborne Reconnaissance Survey of Northwestern Arizona (Arizona Strip) and Southwestern Utah (open access)

Airborne Reconnaissance Survey of Northwestern Arizona (Arizona Strip) and Southwestern Utah

Abstract: From December 1953 to May 1954 an extensive airborne reconnaissance program was conducted in northwestern Arizona (Arizona Strip) and southwestern Utah. Five surface anomalies were detected, one of which has possible commercial value. All anomalies are within the boundaries of National Park Service jurisdiction, consequently, this report is not for public distribution until clearance is obtained from the National Park Service. A preliminary airborne reconnaissance program was also conducted in the Richfield area. No anomalies were discovered.

Investigation of the Suitability of Prepakt Concrete for Mass and Reinforced Concrete Structures: Appendices A and B

Introduction: Three matters discussed in the main report on the investigation of the suitability of Prepakt concrete for mass and reinforced concrete structures, issued in October 1951, required further study. These matters are (a) the properties of Alfesil, (b) the permeability of Prepakt concrete, and (c) the resistance of Prepakt concrete to natural weathering.

Comparison Between Theoretical and Experimental Rates of Roll of Two Models with Flexible Rectangular Wings at Supersonic Speeds (open access)

Comparison Between Theoretical and Experimental Rates of Roll of Two Models with Flexible Rectangular Wings at Supersonic Speeds

"A comparison is presented between the experimentally measured and theoretically calculated (by the method of NACA TN 3067) rates of roll of two rocket-propelled models with flexible rectangular wings. The comparisons show that although there are large aeroelastic losses in rolling rate, the theory predicts the actual rate of roll accurately" (p. 1).

Report presenting an investigation in the supersonic wind tunnel to evaluate the performance of a 16-inch ramjet engine using a can-type-combustor configuration. Data were obtained over a range of fuel-air ratios, free-stream Mach numbers, and angles of attack. Combustion efficiencies were generally unaffected by free-stream Mach number and varied between 60 and 90 percent with JP-4 fuel.

A Nonlinear Theory of Bending and Buckling of Thin Elastic Shallow Spherical Shells (open access)

A Nonlinear Theory of Bending and Buckling of Thin Elastic Shallow Spherical Shells

The problem of the finite displacement and buckling, of a shallow spherical dome is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Experimental results seem to indicate that the classical criterion of buckling is applicable to very shallow spherical domes for which the theoretical calculation was made. A transition to energy criterion for higher domes is also indicated.
