Abstract: "A study of plastic flow during the extrusion of tubing was made by extruding colored Plasticine billets in a small-scale extrusion press. Decreasing the included angle of the conical die and tapering the ram end of the billet decreased the amount of coextrusion of the backer block into the tubing, lubricating the billet also decreased coextrusion."

The following report studies the dissolution of aluminum-canned thorium, providing results that suggest a dissolution cycle that permits the separation of the canned-slug components.

"High energy injection into Table Top is discussed for the case in which the ion sources are to be located inside the mirrors in the mirror region. Two typical ion source geometries are considered. maximum time intervals available for injection indicated are on the order of 7 to 25 microseconds."

It is the purpose of this document to review and up-date the previously presented scope basis for the activated silica installations in light of the existence of the Phase I portion and the present expected water flow requirements of Project CG-558. It is the further purpose to outline the recommended scope bases for the sulfuric acid addition system for pH correction at all areas.

This document presents a summary of work and progress at the Hanford Engineer Works for July 1955. The report is divided into sections by department. A plant wide general summary is included at the beginning of the report, after which the departmental summaries begin. The Manufacturing Department reports plant statistics, and summaries for the Metal Preparation, Reactor and Separation sections. The Engineering Department`s section summarizes work for the Technical, Design, and Project sections. Costs for the various departments are presented in the Financial Department`s summary. The Medical, Radiological Sciences, Utilities and General Services, Employee and Public Relations, and Community Real Estate and services departments have sections presenting their monthly statistics, work, progress, and summaries.

A transition program, eliminating most of the wet chemical techniques for the preparation of cell feed and replacing these with a high temperature chlorination process, was begun. Crushing tests on a Fitz mill were initiated and tentative conclusions are that this type of equipment as superior to a combination of jaw and roll crushing. Small scale chlorination experiments indicate the feasibility of pelletizing ThOCO/sub 3/ for feed to a eontinuous hightemperature chlorinator. (D.E.B.)

Report presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects on the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of various modifications to a 0.065-scale model of the Chance Vought Regulus II missile. Some of the modifications included control housing on top of the fuselage, two sizes of canard surfaces with fixed incidence angles, various angles of nose droop, and two types of inlet boundary-layer bleed diverters.

Report presenting a flight test conducted to determine the minimum drag of a 0.11-scale rocket-boosted model of the Chance Vought XF8U-1 airplane with a transonic-area-rule fuselage-cross-sectional-area development. Results regarding the trim normal-force coefficient and measured drag are provided.

Memorandum presenting the Bell X-5 research airplane tested at 58.7 degrees sweepback during the program to determine the characteristics of a variable-sweep fighter airplane at transonic speeds. This paper includes the stability and control characteristics in the stable lift range up to Mach numbers near 1.0 at an altitude of 40,000 feet and to slightly lower Mach numbers at altitudes of 25,000 feet and 15,000 feet. Results regarding general comments, static stability and control characteristics, and longitudinal dynamic stability are provided.

Report presenting a free-jet investigation of the performance, burner-shell cooling, and ignition characteristics of a flight-weight 48-inch-diameter XRJ47-W-5 ramjet engine at an inlet Mach number of 2.75 and an angle of attack of 3 degrees. Data were obtained over a range of altitudes, inlet temperatures, and fuel-air ratios.

"An investigation has been conducted in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects on the static longitudinal stability and control characteristics of various modifications to a 0.065-scale model of the Chance Vought Regulus II missile. The modifications consisted of a control housing on top of the fuselage, two sizes of canard surfaces with fixed incidence angles, various angles of nose droop, and two types of inlet boundary-layer bleed diverters. The tests were made at a Mach number of 2.01 and a Reynolds number, based on the mean aerodynamic chord of 1.54 x 10(exp 6)" (p. 1).

Report presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at a Mach number of 1.41 to determine the static stability and control and drag characteristics of a model of a 35 degree swept-wing airplane. The effects of alternate fuselage shapes, wing camber, wing fences, and fuselage dive brakes on aerodynamic characteristics were also investigated.

Memorandum presenting rolling stability derivatives for a complete model with a low-aspect-ratio wing and tail surfaces for a Mach number range of 0.70 to 0.94 and for an angle-of-attack range from 0 to 13 degrees for the lower Mach numbers. The model test results indicated regions of neutral or unstable damping in roll at Mach numbers of 0.85 and 0.90 in the higher angle-of-attack range for the basic model. Results regarding damping in roll, yawing moment and lateral force due to rolling, and aileron characteristics are provided.

Report presenting the lateral stability and control characteristics were investigated on the Convair XF-92A delta-wing airplane during the flights of the NACA research program. The investigation included sideslips, aileron rolls, and rudder pulses at a range of altitudes and indicated speeds. The lateral handling characteristics appear satisfactory when viewed in terms of gradually increasing sideslips, lateral control effectiveness, and period, and damping.
