Bibliography and Index on Vacuum and Low Pressure Measurement

From Introduction: "This paper consists essentially of a) a bibliography, b) an author index, and c) an index of the subject matter of the bibliography. While the primary objective is to focus on vacuum measurement, it was believed essential to include in the bibliography articles on vacuum technology in some measure accessory or essential to vacuum measurement. For maximum usefulness, an index of the subject matter of the references has been prepared. The abstract publications listed in the previous paragraph have been freely drawn upon in preparing the bibliography."

Cation Exchange in Acetone-Water-Hydrochloric Acid (open access)

Cation Exchange in Acetone-Water-Hydrochloric Acid

Abstract: Distribution coefficients have been measured for the partition of metal ions between cation exchange resin and acetone-water-hydrochloric acid solutions. the differences in distribution coefficients of metal ions are greater in acetone-water media than in aqueous media of the same hydrochloric acid concentration. Using distribution coefficient data, conditions for column separations of mixtures can be selected. Column separations of metal ion mixtures can be effected by eluting with acetone-water-hydrochloric acid solutions of different compositions. Successful separations of a number of mixtures are reported.

Data Processing For Bubble Chambers (open access)

Data Processing For Bubble Chambers

The computer program which performs spatial reconstruction of events photographed in a bubble chamber is required to eliminate human and digitizer errors. It recognizes and corrects for single nuclear scatterings in the presence of multiple Coulomb scatterings. Momentum components are determined and kinematic constraints are applied. Measured parameters are performed into special reference frames and quantities of physical interest are calculated. Results are stored in a tape file containing all events of one reaction type.

Design Considerations Of Ultrahigh Vacuum Systems For Metallurgical Applications (open access)

Design Considerations Of Ultrahigh Vacuum Systems For Metallurgical Applications

Under the stimulus of electronic materials development - particularly thin-film studies - and the need for space environmental simulation chambers, a very rapid increase in the availability of industrial-sized vacuum components and systems operable in the ultrahigh vacuum range has taken place in the last three years. It is the purpose of this paper to explore the design considerations of ultrahigh vacuum systems for metallurgical applications.

Diffusion of Krypton Through Uranium Carbide - Final Report (open access)

Diffusion of Krypton Through Uranium Carbide - Final Report

This program was established to develop new information concerning the mechanism of diffusion of fission gases (krypton and xenon) through UO2 and UC. The work was to concentrated on measurements of diffusion rates in unirradiated materials in the temperature range of 1000°C to above 2000°C, these determinations being important to the projected use of refractory fuel materials in high-temperature, high-burnup reactors.

EGCR Lattice Radial and Angular Power Distribution 2.6 w/o Enrichment

The measurements reported here are companion measurements to those reported earlier in HW-63585. The only significant difference between the measurements is that 1.8 w/o enrichment UO2 fuel was used for the first set, and 2.6 w/o enrichment UO2 fuel was used for the measurements described in this report. The new results will be presented graphically, and for completeness, the details of the measurement will be included here as well as in HW-63585.

Equations for Bilateral Heat Transfer to Fluids Flowing in Concentric Annuli (open access)

Equations for Bilateral Heat Transfer to Fluids Flowing in Concentric Annuli

Abstract: "Theoretical equations have been derived for calculating heat transfer coefficients for fluids flowing through concentric annuli for the following two cases: (A) constant and equal heat fluxes from both walls, and (B) constant, but unequal, heat fluxes from the walls, with equal wall temperatures at a given axial position along annular channel. In the derivations, the conditions of fully-established flow, and independence of physical properties with temperature variation across the flow channel, were assumed. The only geometrical parameter in this general case is the radius ratio r2/r1, and in the study it was varied from 1.0 to 10.0."

Evaluation of Commercial Ceramic Coating for Short Time Protection of Columbium 1% Zirconium (open access)

Evaluation of Commercial Ceramic Coating for Short Time Protection of Columbium 1% Zirconium

Abstract. Fourteen commercial enamel frits from five different manufacturers were tested to determine their abilities to protect Nb-1% Zr during the forging cycle in the temperature range of 1800 to 2300 deg F. One frit was found to afford good coverage and protection at 2200 deg F at times up to 5 hours of exposure. Adherence was excellent during upset forging of a coated Nb--1% Zr sample heated 45 minutes at 2200 deg F. Another frit afforded good protection and coverage at 1700 deg F. (auth)
