Abstract:"The creep resistance of various uranium binary alloys was investigated at 1500 and 1800 F in vacuum. Tests were made on alloys of uranium with beryllium, columbium, molybdenum, tantalum, titanium, and zirconium and on molybdenum-UO2 composites. Of the alloys examined, those of the uranium-molybdenum system exhibited the best creep resistance. At 1500 F, creep rates of about 0.005%/hr were produced in uranium-molybdenum alloys by a stress of 2500 psi and, at 1800 F, similar creep rates were obtained in composites of 90 wt % molybdenum-10 wt % UO2 by a stress of 12,000 psi."

Abstract: Methods are presented for calibrating a peak current gage which was developed at Sandia in the spring of 1953.

During the exploration of the possible use of an extraction process for the separation of gaseous cascade impurities from uranium hexafluoride, a number of short exploratory studies were carried out. These included (1) experimental determination of the vapor pressure and liquid density of perfluorodibutylcylicether, (2) calculation of the liquid vapor-equilibria of the systes perfluoro-n-pentane-uranium hexafluoride and 1,2-dichlorohexafluoropropane-uranium hexafluoride, and (3) derivation of equations for the estimation of activity coefficients in ternary systems from the properties of the pure components. The results of these studies are summarized in this report.

Report discussing testing on a scale model of the Convair XF2Y-1 airplane with solid-fuel rocket motors that simulate full-scale turbojet-engine characteristics at a height of 35,000 feet with full afterburning at Mach number 1.53. The model was found to have dynamic lateral instability, but these results were not likely to be found in a full-scale airplane. Information about the pitching moment, directional stability, lift-curve slope, and drag coefficients is provided.

Report presenting component performance data for one modification of a 16-stage compressor and a 3-stage turbine to determine the matched performance characteristics of an engine with those components. The compressor surge line and infinite exhaust-nozzle-area equilibrium operating line restricted the region of matched compressor-turbine operation. Results regarding the engine operation with modified compressor and three-stage turbine, effect of leakage on engine operation, component efficiencies, and operation in the surge region are provided.

Report presenting measurements made on the Bell X-1 airplane to determine the pressures on the fuselage base and rear portion of the fuselage during level flight. Measurements were made in the power-off condition and with the engine operating. Information about the power-off pressures and jet effects is provided.

Report presenting measurements of the intensity of buffeting experienced by the Douglas D-558-II research airplane at a range of Mach numbers. Buffeting was encountered at both subsonic and supersonic Mach numbers and the intensity of the buffeting varied with Mach number and airplane normal-force coefficient.

The effects of one type of camber on the aerodynamic characteristics of rectangular wings at high subsonic and transonic speeds have been studied by applying the transonic similarity rules to the correlation of experimental data for a series of 18 cambered wings having NACA 63A2XX and 63A4XX sections, aspect ratios from 1 to 4, and thicknesses from 4 to 8 percent. The data were obtained by use of a transonic bump over a Mach number range of 0.6 to 1.1.
