The Coulometric Determination of Acid (open access)

The Coulometric Determination of Acid

Introduction: "The need for a method of acid determination which could be used for small samples and easily adapted to remote control led to the investigation of the use of electrolytically generated base for the titration of acid in certain solutions. The use of electrolytically generated base for the titration of acetic acid in the presence of nitric acid has been reported (1)."

Radioactivity of the Cooling Water (open access)

Radioactivity of the Cooling Water

The most important source of radioactivity at the exit manifold of the pile will be due to O19, formed by neutron absorption of O18. A recent measurement of Fermi and Weil permits to estimate that it will be safe to stay about 80 minutes daily close to the exit manifolds without any shield. Estimates are given for the radioactivities from other sources -- both in the neighborhood and farther away from the pile.

Radiometric Analysis of Thick Samples (open access)

Radiometric Analysis of Thick Samples

Introduction: Measurements of polonium content in solids are usually performed by dissolving the material and preparing a thin sample which can be measured with one of the available instruments. A measurement of the radiation emerging from the thick sample should be sufficient to evaluate the polonium content. For this reason a calculation has been performed and the results have been compared with those obtained by the thin sample method. Obviously this proposed method using thick samples would be faster.

Minimum-drag ducted and pointed bodies of revolution based on linearized supersonic theory (open access)

Minimum-drag ducted and pointed bodies of revolution based on linearized supersonic theory

The linearized drag integral for bodies of revolution at supersonic speeds is presented in a double-integral form which is not based on slender-body approximations but which reduces to the equal slender-body expression in the proper limit. With the aid of a suitably chosen auxiliary condition, the minimum-external-wave-drag problem is solved for a transition section connecting two semi-infinite cylinders. The projectile tip is a special case and is compared with the Von Karman projectile tip. Calculations are presented which indicate that the method of analysis gives good first-order results in the moderate supersonic range.

Preliminary investigation of the delay of turbulent flow separation by means of wedge-shaped bodies

Report presenting an experimental investigation of pyramidal, wedge-like bodies as devices for delaying separation of a turbulent boundary layer. Within certain limits, effective boundary-layer control was obtainable with wedges of different geometry, but the drag of the wedges was high, making it desirable to keep their size to a minimum. Greater maximum lift was obtainable by placing the wedges well forward along the chord and by allowing open spaces between adjacent wedges.
