On the Mechanism of Generation of Magneto-Hydrodynamic Whirl Rings in the Interior of the Sun and Their Relation to Sunspots, Faculae, Prominences, and Flares

Abstract: "A possible mechanism for the generation of magneto-hydrodynamic whirl rings near the center of the sun is described. The organic relation of the reflection of these whirl rings at the surface of the sun to the cooling of sunspots, orientation, and polarity sequence of sunspots, prominences, flares, and faculae is delineated."

Stability of Chromel-Alumel Thermocouples in Carbon Dioxide at 1000°C (open access)

Stability of Chromel-Alumel Thermocouples in Carbon Dioxide at 1000°C

Tests on twenty identically prepared 26 gauge Chromel-Alumel thermocouples have been completed. It appears that wires of this material without protection are unsatisfactory mechanically and thermoelectrically for service in atmospheres of CO₂ at 1000°C.

A Doorway Monitor (open access)

A Doorway Monitor

The purpose of this work was to produce a reliable, inexpensive instrument for the detection of hard beta contamination on the clothing of personnel. Also, the monitoring was required to be accomplished without interrupting the normal activities of the employees.

Evaluation of Glass-Clad Bayonet Heaters (open access)

Evaluation of Glass-Clad Bayonet Heaters

This report describes the results of evaluation tests made on several glass-coated bayonet heaters supplied to Separations Equipment Development by the Pfaudler Company. The glass-coated heaters were found to be resistant to thermal shock, mild mechanical shock, and chemical attack by boiling 60% nitric acid.

Particle Distribution From a Unit Source - Part A (open access)

Particle Distribution From a Unit Source - Part A

Thus we see that the derivation of elementary age theory is based on replacing the probability of collision governed by the Milne kernel by a Gaussian probability having the same zeroth and second moments. It is apparent that the age theory distribution will fail close to the source and at many free paths from the source.
