Betatron Oscillations and Equilibrium Orbits in Terms of Amplitude and Phase Functions (open access)

Betatron Oscillations and Equilibrium Orbits in Terms of Amplitude and Phase Functions

"Formulas are given to express the general particle trajectory and the equilibrium orbit for a slightly disturbed synchrotron in terms of the amplitude and phase functions for the ideal machine. If these functions are known, orbit computations can be carried out by simple integration procedures. The formalism is expected to be useful especially for considerations such as beam alignment or generation of an external electron beam. Some equations given earlier are repeated for completeness."

Main Coolant Pump Performance Test. Section I. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-290, T-641326 (open access)

Main Coolant Pump Performance Test. Section I. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-290, T-641326

The purpose of the test was to obtain performance data for the main coolant pumps on fast and slow speed at various coolant temperatures. The 1A, 1B and 1C pump performances on both fast and slow speed were approximately as shown in the manufacture's predicted performance curve. The 1D pump performance was below the manufacturer's predicted flow efficiency, line current and hydraulic horsepower on both fast and slow speeds.

Examination of Components for Crud and Corrosion. Section I. Second Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-155, T-612080 (open access)

Examination of Components for Crud and Corrosion. Section I. Second Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-155, T-612080

The purpose of the test was to observe the extent and location of corrosion, crud deposits and defects in components of the primary fluid system and its auxiliaries. This observation will allow an estimate to be made of the future behavior of the affected parts. The test also provides for obtaining corrosion products and crud samples for analysis as necessary for planning remedial actions. This test was limited to the 1D Main Coolant Pump which failed November 3, 1958. The pump failed after 2234 hours of operation on "fast" speed and 887 hours at "slow" speed. An inspection for corrosion was not conducted but smear samples were taken and a radiochemical analysis made. This analysis showed the following isotopes were present in the smear sample: Co38, Co60, Fe59, Mn54, Hf191 and Zr95. The upper and lower radial pump bearings and journals were severely scored and galled while the thrust bearing and runner appear to be in good condition.

The Shape of a Shock Wave Derived from a Spherical Shock Wave Incident on a Concave Wedge (open access)

The Shape of a Shock Wave Derived from a Spherical Shock Wave Incident on a Concave Wedge

When a one-half ounce spherical charge of high explosive is detonated over a flat plane bounded by a 5 degree incline, the type of phenomenon encountered depends on the distance from ground zero to a beginning of the incline. If this distance is 48" the wave assumes a smooth contour on the plane. Detailed investigation of the shock velocity above the plane reveals that there is a pressure gradient along the shock front for a considerable region which replaces the usual triple point.

Practical Methods for the Reduction of Strain Gage Data (open access)

Practical Methods for the Reduction of Strain Gage Data

The error that results when it is attempted to evaluate stress from a reading taken on a single element SR-4 strain gage in a biaxial stress field is discussed. A method is presented for relating SR-4 rosette strain gage readings directly to the biaxial stress state without the necessity of first converting strain gage readings to true strains. Correction formulas are presented for use when single element SR-4 gages are used as rosette elements or as stress gages.

Analytic Approach for the Pion-Proton Scattering Phase Shifts (open access)

Analytic Approach for the Pion-Proton Scattering Phase Shifts

A simple method of solving for the phase shifts of the pion-proton scattering is presented. The rapid solution afforded can be utilized, as the Ashkin diagrams have been employed, to give starting values to an electronic computer or alternatively to analyze with more ease the variation of the phase shifts as a function of the input data in terms of the coefficients of the angular distributions. A new plot of a function of the total cross section versus the pion energy is introduced. The nearly straight line resulting should help to evaluate the experimental data.

Study of Dispersant Agents for Thorium Oxide

A preliminary study of dispersing agents for thorium oxide has been completed and several of the dispersants have possible uses. Also many of the industrial dispersing agents tested are not usable with thorium oxide due to induced behavior causing balling and caking. The effects of nitric acid concentration have been observed to also effect each dispersing agent.

Radiators for Space Power Plants (open access)

Radiators for Space Power Plants

An improved heat sink for space vehicles was proposed in ORNL-CF-59-1-21. Subsequent work on the problem has indicated that there is a substantial probability of a puncture of such a radiator by meteors. To meet this problem a modified geometry has been evolved for which the probability of a meteor puncture should be reduced by a factor of at least 100 relative to the radiator of the original proposal at the expense of an increase in radiator weight of possibly 30%. This memorandum outlines the approach to the problem and a series of similar promising solutions.

A Feasibility Report on a Method of Direct Total Body Measurement of Enriched Uranium in Man (open access)

A Feasibility Report on a Method of Direct Total Body Measurement of Enriched Uranium in Man

In certain phases uranium processing it is poss!ble for operating personnel to acquire internal deposits of uranium. This body burden can be acquired by injection, as in contamination of a wound, by ingestion, of by inhalation. In order to estimate internal exposures, some means of determining the location and extent of these internal deposits is essential.

The Sodium Hydroxide - Sodium Hydride System (open access)

The Sodium Hydroxide - Sodium Hydride System

Portions of the NaOH-NaH phase diagram were studied by means of differential thermal analysis. Under certain conditions NaH will either react with NaOH according to the equation NaH + NaOH in equilibrium Na/sub 2/O + H/ sub 2/ or thermally dissociate according to the equation NaH in equilibrium Na + 1/2 H/sub 2/. Both of these reactions are suppressed by a high H/sub 2/ pressure; and NaH neither reacts nor dissociates to an extent sufficient to affect the results reported. This was evidenced by the fact that changing the H/ sub 2/ pressure above the system in the range indicated did not change, within the limit of error of the experiments ( approximately plus or minus 5 deg ), the temperature at which a phase change was started or completed. Therefore the concentrations of Na and Na/sub 2/O present in the samples must have been small in all cases. Under a high H/sub 2/ pressure, therefore, the system may be considered as essentially binary, consisting of NaOH and NaH. (auth)

The Sodium Hydroxide - Sodium Oxide - Sodium - Sodium Hydride - Hydrogen System (open access)

The Sodium Hydroxide - Sodium Oxide - Sodium - Sodium Hydride - Hydrogen System

Sodium hydride dissolves in and reacts with molten NaOH to give an equilibrium mixture of NaH, NaOH, Na/sub 2/O, Na, and H. In the case where there is a gaseous phase (hydrogen) and only one condensed phase, the system is defined by the temperature, pressure, and one composition variable. The equilibrium, H/ sub 2/ pressure, which is a measure of the H/sub 2/ activity within the melt, was determined as a function of the composition of the condensed phase(s) at 600, 700, and 500 deg for equilibrium mixtures with original compositions of 2.5 to 97.5, 5.0 to 95.0, l0.0 to 90.0, and 20.0 to 50.0 mole% NaH-NaOH. The equilibrium H/sub 2/ pressure-composition isotherms obtained by removing measured increments of H/sub 2/ were reproduced by reabsorbing H/sub 2/. Results for the 5.0 mole % NaH mixture were duplicated by starting with an equivalent quantity of either Na in NaOH or Na/sub 2/O in NaOH, and reacting with measured increments of H/sub 2/. The system is discussed in relation to the interdependent reactions involved, the phase rule, the thermodynamics of certain reactions, and experimental techniques employed. (auth)

Metallographic Examination of ORNL #1, SHE #2 (open access)

Metallographic Examination of ORNL #1, SHE #2

Small Heat Exchanger ORNL #1, type SHE #2, was removed form test stand B after 2071 hours of operation. Thirty-five samples were removed form the entire heat exchanger. The corrosion found on the outside of the tubes exposed to the fluoride mixture ranged to a maximum depth of .004 inches; however, the frequency of occurrence along the tube wall was heavier at the NaK outlet header, which was the hottest area in the heat exchanger. The depth of attack observed on the fluoride side of this heat exchanger was uniform from header to header and did not exceed .004 inches.

Effect of Pressure Differentials on Deflection of the Outer Fuel Plates of Brazed APPR Fuel Elements (open access)

Effect of Pressure Differentials on Deflection of the Outer Fuel Plates of Brazed APPR Fuel Elements

One of the considerations in designing a flat plate fuel element is the resistance of the fuel plates, especially the outer plates in the fuel plate array, to deflection and permanent deformation as a result of pressure differentials. An investigation was recently initiated wit the objective of obtaining preliminary information on the APPR-type fuel element to determine the effect of pressure differentials on the outer plates in the fuel assembly. The APPR-1 fuel element consists of 18 flat composite stainless steel fuel plates, joined to grooved 50 mil thick type 304L stainless steel side plates by brazing with Coast Metals N. P. alloy.
