On the flow of a compressible fluid by the hodograph method 1: unification and extension of present-day results

From Summary: "Elementary basic solutions of the equations of motion of a compressible fluid in the hodograph variables are developed and used to provide a basis for comparison, in the form of velocity correction formulas, of corresponding compressible and incompressible flows. The known approximate results of Chaplygin, Von Karman and Tsien, Temple and Yarwood, and Prandtl and Glauert are unified by means of the analysis of the present paper. Two new types of approximations, obtained from the basic solutions, are introduced; they possess certain desirable features of the other approximations and appear preferable as a basis for extrapolation into the range of high stream Mach numbers and large disturbances to the main stream."

Radioactivity Induced in Commercial Materials

Six structural materials (aluminum 2S, aluminum 72S, copper, iron, steel, lead and bismuth) were irradiated for about 100 kilowatt hours in the center of the Argonne pile. The alpha and gamma decays were then followed for 130 days on Geiger counters and are presented here graphically as number of rays per minute per gram per kilowatt hour vs. time of decay. A quantitative interpretation of the gamma-ray decay curves gave fair agreement with the chemical analysis of impurities found in the materials.

Effect of hinge-moment parameters on elevator stick forces in rapid maneuvers (open access)

Effect of hinge-moment parameters on elevator stick forces in rapid maneuvers

"The importance of the stick force per unit normal acceleration as a criterion of longitudinal stability and the critical dependence of this gradient on elevator hinge-moment parameters have been shown in previous reports. The present report continues the investigation with special reference to transient effects for maneuvers of short duration" (p. 449).

The Theory of Propellers 4: Thrust, Energy, and Efficiency Formulas for Single and Dual Rotating Propellers With Ideal Circulation Distribution (open access)

The Theory of Propellers 4: Thrust, Energy, and Efficiency Formulas for Single and Dual Rotating Propellers With Ideal Circulation Distribution

"Simple and exact expressions are given for the efficiency of single and dual rotating propellers with ideal circulation distribution as given by the Goldstein functions for single-rotating propellers and by the new functions for dual-rotating propellers from part I of the present series. The efficiency is shown to depend primarily on a defined load factor and, to a very small extent, on an axial loss factor. Tables and charts are included for practical use of the results. The present paper is the fourth in a series on the theory of propellers" (p. 99).
