Effects of Total Body Z Irradiation of Rats.  Part I, Lethal Action of Single, Paired, and Periodic Doses (open access)

Effects of Total Body Z Irradiation of Rats. Part I, Lethal Action of Single, Paired, and Periodic Doses

Abstract: Exposure of Sprague Dawley white rats to single doses of 900 kvp X radiation demonstrated a medium lethal dose of 600 r which was not markedly dependent upon sex, weight, or, in the case of females, stage of the estrous cycle at the time of irradiation. Deaths within 30 days were most frequent between the fourth and eighth, and between the tenth and fifteenth post- irradiation days, indicating the existence of at least two processes leading to death in the "acute" period.

Investigation of shock diffusers at Mach number 1.85 1: projecting single-shock cones (open access)

Investigation of shock diffusers at Mach number 1.85 1: projecting single-shock cones

Report presenting an investigation in the 18- by 18-inch supersonic tunnel to determine design conditions for optimum performance of shock diffusers at Mach number 1.85 with a series of projecting single-shock cones with varying angles. Each cone was tested with a curved and a straight diffuser-inlet section. The effect of angle of attack was investigated for several configurations.

Investigation of shock diffusers at Mach number 1.85 2: projecting double-shock cones

Report presenting an investigation in the 18- by 18-inch supersonic tunnel to determine the total-pressure recovery obtainable at Mach number 1.85 with a shock diffuser with projective cones designed to produce two oblique shocks ahead of the diffuser inlet. The variation of total-pressure recovery with tip projection was investigated for four cones with different included angles. A maximum total-pressure recovery of 94.5 percent was attained with the best configuration at an angle of 0 degrees.

Control during starting of gas-turbine engines (open access)

Control during starting of gas-turbine engines

Report presenting an investigation of the variables pertinent to the control of gas temperatures of gas-turbine engines during starting conducted by obtaining time records of the variables involved during actual starting conditions. Poor control of gas temperatures during starting was found to be caused by an accumulation of fuel in the engine before ignition and excessive fuel-flow rates at the time of ignition.

Use of source distributions for evaluating theoretical aerodynamics of thin finite wings at supersonic speeds (open access)

Use of source distributions for evaluating theoretical aerodynamics of thin finite wings at supersonic speeds

From Summary: "A series of publications on the source-distribution methods for evaluating the aerodynamics of thin wings at supersonic speeds is summarized, extended, and unified. Included in the first part are the deviations of: (a) the linearized partial-differential equation for unsteady flow at a substantially constant Mach number. b) The source-distribution solution for the perturbation-velocity potential that satisfies the boundary conditions of tangential flow at the surface and in the plane of the wing; and (c) the integral equation for determining the strength and the location of sources to describe the interaction effects (as represented by upwash) of the bottom and top wing surfaces through the region between the finite wing boundary and the foremost Mach wave. The second part deals with steady-state thin-wing problems. The third part of the report approximates the integral equation for unsteady upwash and includes a solution of approximate equation. Expressions are then derived to evaluate the load distributions for time-dependent finite-wing motions."

Investigation of internal film cooling of exhaust nozzle of a 1000-pound-thrust liquid-ammonia liquid-oxygen rocket

Report presenting an investigation of internal film cooling of the exhaust nozzle of a 1000-pound-thrust liquid ammonia liquid-oxygen rocket engine. With water as a coolant, approximately 16 percent of the total propellant and coolant flow was required to film-cool the entire nozzle and with anhydrous liquid ammonia, approximately 19 percent of the total flow was required. Results regarding the coolant results and performance results are provided.
