Investigations of Ion Exchange Methods for Recovery of Uranium From Liquors Produced by Acid Leaching of Gunnar Ore

An ion exchange testing program was completed on Gunnar acid leach liquors and pulps. A standard column system and a resin-in-pulp system, both using anion exchange resins, were investigated. The Gunnar leach liquors are readily amenable to the recovery of uranium by ion exchange.

Path of Triple Point for spherical Shocks Above a Rigid Plane (open access)

Path of Triple Point for spherical Shocks Above a Rigid Plane

Paths of trip points of Mach reflections produced by 0.5-oz pentolite detonations have been observed for various burst heights. The slopes, Y, at points on the curved path are found to vary from values of Y predicted from plane shock wave data. This discrepancy is attributed to the shock strength conditions at the early inception of the Mach reflection, which later influence the triple point equilibrium, and in lesser degree to radius of curvature effects.

An error Analysis of R-C Timers (open access)

An error Analysis of R-C Timers

The results of this paper show that a variation is sensing voltage produces an error in timing which increases logarithmically with time interval. Also, variation in supply voltage produces the same type of errors, but the errors are decreased by the ratio of the sensing to supply voltage. An interesting conclusion from this analysis is that if the ratio of supply to sensing voltages is maintained constant, no change in timing will result.

Behavior of Transistors in a Magnetic Field (open access)

Behavior of Transistors in a Magnetic Field

Experiments are described which show that magnetic fields can exert a controlling influence on the operating characteristics of point contact transistors. The effect is especially evident when the transistor is operated in its negative resistance region. The frequency of an oscillator can be varied, or a switch made to trigger by applying a magnetic field to the transistor. Some applications of the principle are suggested; many more are evident.

Low Speed Wind Tunnel Tests of Several Airfoil Sections Through 360 ° Angle of Attack (open access)

Low Speed Wind Tunnel Tests of Several Airfoil Sections Through 360 ° Angle of Attack

A series of two-dimensional airfoils were run through a complete 360 ° angle of attack range to determine their low-speed force characteristics. The airfoils were chosen in an attempt to vary as many parameters (such as thickness, camber, thickness distribution, etc.) as possible with the limited number of shapes that time permitted. All airfoils tested had lift curves with two distinct stalls and quite similar drag curves between 0 ° and 90 ° angle of attack. The highly cambered sections developed peculiar characteristics in the inverted and trailing edge forward positions, as might be expected. The effective test Reynolds number of 0.81 x 10(6) based on the model chord of one foot.

A Comparison of the Neutron Yields from Low-Voltage Sources (open access)

A Comparison of the Neutron Yields from Low-Voltage Sources

The description of the thick-target neutron yields from the D(t,n)He4 and the D(d,n)He3 reactions is calculated as a function of the energy of the bombarding particles. For 60-kev particles the ratio is 108. I increases to 168 at 100 Kev and to 194 for 120-kev particles. A qualitative discussion of the yields from various deuterium target leads to the conclusion that the greatest yield would come from the target which has the lowest stopping cross section per deuterium atom.

The Shape of a Shock Wave Derived from a Spherical Shock Wave Incident on a Concave Wedge (open access)

The Shape of a Shock Wave Derived from a Spherical Shock Wave Incident on a Concave Wedge

When a one-half ounce spherical charge of high explosive is detonated over a flat plane bounded by a 5 degree incline, the type of phenomenon encountered depends on the distance from ground zero to a beginning of the incline. If this distance is 48" the wave assumes a smooth contour on the plane. Detailed investigation of the shock velocity above the plane reveals that there is a pressure gradient along the shock front for a considerable region which replaces the usual triple point.
