Error in airspeed measurement due to the static-pressure field ahead of an airplane at transonic speeds (open access)

Error in airspeed measurement due to the static-pressure field ahead of an airplane at transonic speeds

The magnitude and variation of the static-pressure error for various distances ahead of sharp-nose bodies and open-nose air inlets and for a distance of 1 chord ahead of the wing tip of a swept wing are defined by a combination of experiment and theory. The mechanism of the error is discussed in some detail to show the contributing factors that make up the error. The information presented provides a useful means for choosing a proper location for measurement of static pressure for most purposes.

Drag Near Zero Lift of a 1/7-Scale Model of the Convair B-58 External Store as Measured in Free Flight Between Mach Numbers of 0.8 and 2.45 (open access)

Drag Near Zero Lift of a 1/7-Scale Model of the Convair B-58 External Store as Measured in Free Flight Between Mach Numbers of 0.8 and 2.45

"The zero-lift drag of a 1/7-scale model of the Convair B-58 external store was obtained at mach numbers between 0.8 and 2.45 at corresponding Reynolds numbers per foot of 3.5 x 10 to the 6th power and 15.3 X 10 to the 6th power. The experimental drag data are compared with calculated values at both subsonic and supersonic speeds and show good agreement. In addition to the drag data, some static stability derivatives and damping factors were also obtained and are presented with the predicted values of these derivatives for completeness and for comparison" (p. 1).

Investigation of 300 Area Slug Pickling Operation (open access)

Investigation of 300 Area Slug Pickling Operation

The recent modernization program for the 300 area metal preparation process has included installation of automatic spray pickling machines. Operative problems have accompanied start-up of the new machine including too rapid reoxidation of slugs leaving the pickle operation. Numerous slugs have had to be repickled with consequent interruption to canning operations. Investigations were conducted in cooperation with Coatings and Corrosion Unit, Fuel Technology Sub-Section and Process Improvement Unit, Metal Preparation Section, to obtain basis information about slug oxide removal and reoxidation. Findings and conclusions from the investigation are presented in this document.

Effects of river flow manipulation at Priest Rapids (open access)

Effects of river flow manipulation at Priest Rapids

The operation of a Priest Rapids dam is stated to necessitate river flow manipulation varying from 25,000 cfs to 120,000 cfs in the winter months of a critical water year. The low flow may persist for periods of six hours daily, and the expected daily average low flow is 61,000 cfs. The possible effects of this on reactor operation and waste disposal to the Columbia River which are of the interest to the Radiological Sciences Department were reviewed by J.F. Honstead, R.E. Rostenbach, and R.F. Foster. These include radiation hazards in reactor area water treatment plants, reactor area drinking water contamination; increased river temperature; chromium pollution problems; effects on downstream river usage, and effects on aquatic life.
