The Pressure Distribution Over the Wings and Tail Surfaces of a PW-9 Pursuit Airplane in Flight (open access)

The Pressure Distribution Over the Wings and Tail Surfaces of a PW-9 Pursuit Airplane in Flight

This report presents the results of an investigation to determine (1) the magnitude and distribution of aerodynamic loads over the wings and tail surfaces of a pursuit-type airplane in the maneuvers likely to impose critical loads on the various subassemblies of the airplane structure, (2) To study the phenomenon of center of pressure movement and normal force coefficient variation in accelerated flight, and (3) to measure the normal accelerations at the center of gravity, wing-tip, and tail, in order to determine the nature of the inertia forces acting simultaneously with the critical aerodynamic loads. The results obtained throw light on a number of important questions involving structural design.

Investigation of the Diaphragm-Type Pressure Cell (open access)

Investigation of the Diaphragm-Type Pressure Cell

"This report relates to various improvements in the process of manufacture of the NACA standard pressure cell. Like most pressure recording devices employing thin diaphragms, they would in general show considerable change in calibration with temperature and also some change of calibration with time or aging effect. The required diaphragm thickness and the desirable rate of mechanical magnification have been determined on the basis of several hundred tests" (p. 507).

Air conditions close to the ground and the effect on airplane landings

This report presents the results of an investigation undertaken to determine the feasibility of making glide landings in gusty air. Wind velocities were measured at several stations between the ground and a height of 51 feet, and flight tests were made to determine the actual influence of gusts on an airplane gliding close to the ground.

The Measurement of the Field of View From Airplane Cockpits (open access)

The Measurement of the Field of View From Airplane Cockpits

"A method has been devised for the angular measurement and graphic portrayal of the view obtained from the pilot's cockpit of an airplane. The assumption upon which the method is based and a description of the instrument, designated a "visiometer", used in the measurement are given. Account is taken of the fact that the pilot has two eyes and two separate sources of vision. The view is represented on charts using an equal-area polar projection, a description and proof of which are given" (p. 167).

Ground Effect on Downwash Angles and Wake Location (open access)

Ground Effect on Downwash Angles and Wake Location

"A theoretical study was made of the reduction in downwash and the upward displacement of the wake in the presence of the ground, and some verification of theory was obtained by means of air-flow measurements made with a ground-board and image-wing combination. Methods are given for estimating the effects and numerous examples are included to illustrate the nature of these effects and to show their order of magnitude" (p. 1).

Contributions to the Water Problem (open access)

Contributions to the Water Problem

Technical report describing the investigation of the short-lived activities produced in oxygen compounds by irradiation with pile neutrons. The most prominent of these activities in cooling water is a beta and gamma emitting activity of about 8 second half-life. Because of its production by epicadmium neutrons it was believed to be the 8 second N16 produced in the pile by n,p on O16. The identification has been accomplished and it is established that the 8 second activity is N16. Part 2 of the report deals with the determination of the recoil range of the Al28 atoms formed by pile n,p reaction on Al27.

The Distribution of Thermal Neutrons in a Slug with Thick End Caps (open access)

The Distribution of Thermal Neutrons in a Slug with Thick End Caps

The distribution of thermal neutrons in a W slug having a one centimeter aluminum end cap has been calculated on the basis of simple diffusion theory. It is found that the average neutron density, and therefore the power output, at the end of the slug is about 34% higher than the density far from the end cap. This result agrees well with the recent Argonne pile experiments (CP-1729).

Temperature and Heat Flow in a Graphite Electrode (open access)

Temperature and Heat Flow in a Graphite Electrode

In making various experimental heat studies a power producing metal slug is simulated by a slug with a graphite rod electrode of 3/8" diameter inserted lengthwise through it. There is a helium filled annular space between the graphite and the inner surface of the slug cylinder. Radiant heat passes from the electrode to the metal; with proper adjustment of the electrode current the slug in the steady state will therefor "produce" the same amount of energy from its exterior surface as it would under operating conditions. The question arises, however, as to how uniform the electrode temperature is along its length. And also, in some cases one end of the electrode is embedded in the slug metal; it is then desirable to know how much heat flows by conduction from the electrode into the slug.

Transference and Adsorption on Glass of Carrier Free Zirconium (open access)

Transference and Adsorption on Glass of Carrier Free Zirconium

.Technical report describing the transference experiments. The carrying of zirconium and columbium by ferric hydroxide has a very marked dependence on pH. In the experiments it was noticed that the concentration of Zr activity in various solutions changed with time This indicated that the Zr was being adsorbed on the glass. The carrier free trace is adsorbed on glass. This effect must be considered in experiments with Zr tracer in glass apparatus.

Knock-Limited Blending Characteristics of Benzene, Toluene, Mixed Xylenes, and Cumene in an Air-Cooled Cylinder

"An investigation was conducted to determine the knock-limited blending characteristics of leaded fuels containing selected aromatic fuel components (benzene, toluene, mixed xylenes, and cumene). Each of the aromatics was blended with an alkylate blending agent and with a virgin base stock. The blending characteristics of the resulting fuels were determined in a full-scale aircraft-engine cylinder" (p. 1).

Healing of Fast-Neutron-Induced Changes in Graphite.  III. Further Experiments on Effect of Heating During Exposure (open access)

Healing of Fast-Neutron-Induced Changes in Graphite. III. Further Experiments on Effect of Heating During Exposure

Abstract. It has been established that heating samples of graphite during exposure in a pile decreases substantially the observed changes in the elastic modulus and electrical resistance caused by the irradiation. The functional relationship between the percentage changes observed and the temperature of exposure resembles the relationship between the final percentage changes and the temperature of heat treatment after exposure (cf. report CC-1668). Anomalous results reported previously for higher temperatures in CC01669 are now shown to be attributable to a destructive influence on the graphite, probably oxidation of samples exposed in air.

July 16th nuclear explosion: Permanent earth displacement (open access)

July 16th nuclear explosion: Permanent earth displacement

A measurement was made of the permanent earth movement in the neighborhood of the tower caused by the nuclear explosion at Trinity. The crater was apparently formed by a compression phenomenon and was noted to be much shallower than craters formed by ordinary high explosives. Scaling up existing information on the radius of craters, the TNT equivalence of the nuclear bomb is given as 10,000 tons to within 50 percent. Observations were made on the damage in the crater region and suggestions are given as to the nature of structure which might be expected to withstand the blast close to the gadget. It is also noted that, despite previous opinion to the contrary, it is apparently possible to reduce greatly the volume of earth blown away by the blast by suitably protecting the ground.
