Abstract: "A method has been devised and successfully used for marking a leaking pile process tube prior to its removal from the pile, such that subsequent location of the leak is more easily accomplished. An acetone solution of Testor's Dark Red Airplane Dope is poured into the suspect tube. The solution leaks from the hole and stains the surrounding area a light pink. To date the method has been used on tubes 3573F, 0486F, 0867F, and 3670F."

Abstract: Structure drilling under Contract No. AT(05-l)-120 was begun May 13, 1951, and was suspended June 30, 1951, at Red Rock, Arizona with the completion of 12 holes and 2,390.5 feet of drilling. No mineralization was disclosed in the widely spaced holes. The structure and rock composition was found favorable for a potential drilling area.

Abstract: A drilling program was conducted by the Atomic Energy Commission on Cove Mesa, Arizona to further develop uranium and vanadium ore reserves that are vital to the National Defense. The drilling was performed by the Minerals Engineering Company of Grand Junction, Colorado. Uranium and vanadium ore horizons are found in the Salt Wash member of the Morrison formation on Cove Mesa.

This report endeavors to point out the radiation hazards involved with respect to the patient undergoing oral roentgenography. The dose rate can be as high as 280 r/min. Very definite hematological changes have been observed and are being thoroughly investigated. Recommendations have been suggested to eliminate overexposures.

Technical report presenting the results of a study of the AEC thorium production facilities at Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa. Operating procedures, descriptions of equipment and a production cost analysis have been included in this study.

Introduction: This is the third of a series of memoranda concerning the statics of the teapot, a small-scale boiling reactor experiment, and covers power coefficients of reactivity, energy coefficients of fluid density, the poisoning effects of fission products, and production of gases. The numbering of the equations, figures, and tables thus follows that of CF 52-6-118.

This report presents information pertaining to the life of the reduction bombs in both the RG and RMM Lines of the Plutonium Purification and Fabrication operations in the 234-5 Building. The expected average life to rupture of the RG Line Bomb of carbon steel subjected to an internal pressure of 450 psig is ten hours at 750 C. The expected average life of the RM Line bomb of V-36 alloy is more than 100,000 hours at 750 C under the same operating conditions. These expected average life values do not include any calculated factor of safety. Since they are average figures, some bombs could be expected to have shorter life to rupture. The BG Line bomb of carbon steel is definitely hazardous under the extreme service conditions of 450 psig and 750 C. If the use of carbon steel is to be continued it is recommended that the bombs be redesigned to reduce unit stresses.

Report presenting the lift of wing-body combinations at supersonic speeds as obtained by means of an approximate linearized-theory analysis involving an assumption concerning the geometry of the body. A comparison with several groups of data is provided to show the accuracy of the method.

"Icing data collected on routine operations by four DC-4-type aircraft equipped with NACA pressure-type icing-rate meters are presented as preliminary information obtained from a statistical icing data program sponsored by the NACA with the cooperation of many airline companies and the United States Air Force. The program is continuing on a much greater scale to provide large quantities of data from many air routes in the United States and overseas. Areas not covered by established air routes are also being included in the survey. The four aircraft which collected the data presented in this report were operated by United Air Lines over a transcontinental route from January through May, 1951" (p. 1).

Report presenting an investigation of the effects of a variation of Reynolds number on the forces, moments, and surface pressures on a semispan model of a wing with 35 degrees of sweepback, an aspect ratio of 5, a taper ratio of 0.7, and the NACA 65(sub 1)A012 section in planes parallel to the plane of symmetry.

Report of an investigation to determine the effect of surface roughness on the performance of a 23 degree conical diffusers with 2:1 ratio of exit to inlet area and a constant-area tail pipe. Information about the pressure survey results, including total-pressure-loss coefficient, diffuser effectiveness, and boundary-layer profiles is provided.

Memorandum presenting an investigation at Mach numbers of 1.41, 1.62, and 1.96 to determine the effects of airfoil section and wing plan form on the pressures acting on the base of blunt-trailing-edge wings operating through an angle-of-attack range. The investigation included two groups of untapered wings of aspect ratio 2.7, with one group being unswept and the other with 45 degrees of sweepback. Results regarding the effects of wing location and body size, spanwise variations of base pressures, variations of average base pressure coefficients with angle of attack and wing section, and effects of plan form are provided.

A slug of air-saturated distilled water was circulated for 317 hours at a velocity of 15 feet per second in an AISI 347 stainless-steel toroid with a wall temperature of 500 F and a 30 F difference in temperature between the hot and cold sections. The depth of corrosion layer was 0.001 inch (0.028 in./yr) in the hot sector and 0.0007 inch (0.019 in./yr) in the cold sector; no mass transfer was observed. The results of gas,water,and X-ray diffraction analyses are given together with photomicrographs of sections taken from the hot and cold sections of the specimen.

Report presenting an investigation of inlets utilizing two-dimensional compression wedges mounted normal to the fuselage surface with ram-type scoops for partial removal of the boundary layer.

Results regarding supersonic performance characteristics and subsonic and take-off performance characteristics are provided.

Report presenting the results of a free-flight investigation to determine the drag of circular, finite-length cylinders for a range of Mach numbers. For supersonic speeds, the drag of circular cylinders was found to be largely independent of fineness ratio and Reynolds number.
