Wind-Tunnel Investigation at a Mach Number of 2.01 of Forebody Strakes for Improving Directional Stability of Supersonic Aircraft (open access)

Wind-Tunnel Investigation at a Mach Number of 2.01 of Forebody Strakes for Improving Directional Stability of Supersonic Aircraft

Memorandum presenting an investigation in the 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel to determine the effects of forebody strakes on the aerodynamic characteristics in sideslip of a delta-wing airplane model at Mach number of 2.01. The presence of the strakes increased the directional-stability level for both vertical-tail arrangements. Results of pressure tunnels for a forebody show that the presence of the strakes provides a stabilizing influence on the forebody which is consistent with the results of force tests.

Theoretical Rocket Performance of Liquid Methane with Several Fluorine-Oxygen Mixtures Assuming Frozen Composition (open access)

Theoretical Rocket Performance of Liquid Methane with Several Fluorine-Oxygen Mixtures Assuming Frozen Composition

"Theoretical rocket performance for frozen composition during expansion was calculated for liquid methane with several fluorine-oxygen mixtures for a range of pressure ratios and oxidant-fuel ratios. The parameters included are specific impulse, combustion-chamber temperature, nozzle-exit temperature molecular weight, characteristic velocity, coefficient of thrust, ratio of nozzle-exit area to throat area, specific heat at constant pressure, isentropic exponent, viscosity, and thermal conductivity. The maximum calculated value of specific impulse for a chamber pressure of 600 pounds per square inch absolute (40.827atm) and an exit pressure of 1 atmosphere is 315.3 for 79.67 percent fluorine in the oxidant" (p. 1).

Direct Interaction Neutrons from 14-Mev Inelastic Neutron Scattering

Abstract: "Neutron nonelastic cross sections measured at different detector biases have been used to determine the cross sections for inelastically scattering 14 Mev neutrons into 9- to 14-Mev energy range. The cross section for producing these high energy neutrons, which may be attributed to direct interaction processes, is roughly 10% of the nonelastic cross section, for all elements. A comparison is made with data of Coon and co workers, who measured angular distributions for the same high-energy inelastically scattered-neutron group."
