Anodic Etching Procedure for Uranium: Useful Lifetime of Baths Without Regeneration

The useful lifetimes of the phosphoric-hydrochloric anodic etching solution and the nitric acid stripping solutions were studied. Groups of uranium wafers of surface areas approximately 0.033 sq ft were anodically etched and stripped. From the losses in weight observed, it was concluded that at least three square feet of uranium may be anodized per liter of phosphoric-hydrochloric acid solution without regeneration. The nitric acid stripping solution was found to be satisfactory for at least one square foot of uranium per liter, but the reaction rate decreased rapidly after the treatment of two square feet per liter.

A preliminary investigation of the use of circulation control to increase the lift of a 45 degree sweptback wing by suction through trailing-edge slots (open access)

A preliminary investigation of the use of circulation control to increase the lift of a 45 degree sweptback wing by suction through trailing-edge slots

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effectiveness of circulation control by applying suction through trailing-edge slots on a 45 degree sweptback wing. Various chordwise extents and depths of slot were investigated with and without deflection of a trailing-edge split flap. Results regarding the correlation of two-dimensional-section results with Ehlers' theory, effectiveness of circulation control on a sweptback wing, effect of slot configuration on circulation control, effect of trailing-edge split flap on circulation control, effect of circulation control on pitching moment, and circulation control at angle of attack are provided.
