Preliminary Leaching Tests for the Extraction of Uranium From Various Monticello Stockpile Ores (open access)

Preliminary Leaching Tests for the Extraction of Uranium From Various Monticello Stockpile Ores

In a section of the area occupied by the Atomic Energy Commission in Grand Junction, Colorado, a pilot plant is being erected to test a resin-in-pulp process. The process is based on the adsorption of uranium by resin from acid pulps. The first ores to be treated at this plant will be Monticello Stockpile Material. Samples of the various stockpiles sere subjected to a series of leaching, filtering and settling tests, the results of which are presented in this report.

Strain-Gage Measurements of Buffeting Loads on a Jet-Powered Bomber Airplane (open access)

Strain-Gage Measurements of Buffeting Loads on a Jet-Powered Bomber Airplane

Buffet boundaries, buffeting-load increments for the stabilizers and elevators, and buffeting bending-moment increments for the stabilizers and wings as measured in gradual maneuvers for a jet-powered bomber airplane are presented. The buffeting-load increments were determined from strain-gage measurements at the roots or hinge supports of the various surfaces considered. The Mach numbers of the tests ranged from 0.19 to 0.78 at altitudes close to 30,000 feet. The predominant buffet frequencies were close to the natural frequencies of the structural components. The buffeting-load data, when extrapolated to low-altitude conditions, indicated loads on the elevators and stabilizers near the design limit loads. When the airplane was held in buffeting, the load increments were larger than when recovery was made immediately.

Experimental Static Aerodynamic Forces and Moments at High Subsonic Speeds on a Missile Model During Simulated Launching From Unswept-, Sweptback-, and Modified-Delta-Wing-Fuselage Combinations at Zero Sideslip

Report presenting an investigation in the high-speed tunnel to determine the static aerodynamic forces and moments on a missile model during simulated launching from midsemispan locations of various types of wings. The purpose of the investigation is to determine the nature and origin of the mutual interference experienced by various combinations of wing-fuselage models and externally carried missiles. Results regarding isolated missile characteristics, the effect of varying chordwise position, effects of angle of attack and Mach number, effect of airplane wing geometric characteristics, effect of missile spanwise location, and comparison of wing-fuselage and fuselage effects on the missile forces and moments are provided.

Characteristics of flow over inclined bodies of revolution (open access)

Characteristics of flow over inclined bodies of revolution

From Summary: "Experimental force, moment, and center-of-pressure variations for a large number of bodies of revolution have been compared with the calculated characteristics based on the approximate theory developed in NACA-RM-A9I26. The bodies varied in fineness ratio from 4.5 to 21.1, from blunt unboattailed bodies to airship hulls, and the experimental results are given for widely varying Mach number ranges of angle of attack. It is shown that the lift and drag characteristics are fairly accurately predicted by the theory but that the actual center of pressure is more rearward than the theory indicates."

Force and pressure recovery characteristics at supersonic speeds of a conical spike inlet with a bypass discharging from the top or bottom of the diffuser in an axial direction (open access)

Force and pressure recovery characteristics at supersonic speeds of a conical spike inlet with a bypass discharging from the top or bottom of the diffuser in an axial direction

Force and pressure-recovery characteristics of a nacelle-type conical-spike inlet with a fixed-area bypass located in the top or bottom of the diffuser are presented for flight Mach numbers of 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 for angles of attack from 0 degrees to 9 degrees. Top or bottom location of the bypass did not have significant effects on diffuser pressure-recovery, bypass mass-flow ratio, or drag coefficient over the range of angles of attack, flight Mach numbers, and stable engine mass-flow ratios investigated. A larger stable subcritical operating range was obtained with the bypass on the bottom at angles of attack from 3 degrees to 9 degrees at a flight Mach number of 2.0. At a flight Mach number of 2.0, the discharge of 14 percent of the critical mass flow of the inlet by means of a bypass increased the drag only one-fifth of the additive drag that would result for equivalent spillage behind an inlet normal shock without significant reductions in diffuser pressure recovery.

Report presenting some measurements of the dynamic lateral stability and lateral and longitudinal trim of a Douglas D-558-II in flights up to a Mach number of 1.87 and an altitude of about 67,000 feet. Testing indicated that the airplane flying in low density air at supersonic speeds had poor dynamic lateral stability, which worsened as the Mach number was increased to 1.85.

Formation of a Vortex at the Edge of a Plate

The flow about the plate of infinite width may be represented as a potential flow with discontinuity surfaces which extend from the plate edges. On the basis of a similitude requirement one succeeds in finding a solution of this problem for the plate of infinite width which is correct for the very beginning of the motion of the fluid. Starting from this solution, the further development of the vortex distribution and shape of the surface are observed in the case of a plate of finite width.

In-Pile Slurry Loop Program

The in-plie slurry loop work is now being considered as a joint program between the PAR project and ORNL. It is proposed that PAR design, fabricate and test the in-pile loops and that ORNL operate the loops in-pile, dismantle the loops after irradiation and made the appropriate measurements to determine the radiation effects. This report gives the objects of the slurry in-pile program and outlines the facilities and operations required to execute ORNL's part of this program.
