The fused fluoride-Inconel reactor system was studied under irradiation with nominal 19 Mev deuterons as supplied by the Berkeley 60-inch cyclotron. Chemical, metallographic, magnetic susceptibility, electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction studies were made on the as-received materials, one control run and two irradiated runs. No changes in the fused fluoride fuel were noted. Accelerated intergranular corrosion and increased grain size were observed in the irradiated Inconel specimens. This report is based upon studies conducted for the Atomic Energy Commission under Contract AT-40-1-GEN-1064.

It is concluded that austenitic stainless steels in the fully solution- heat-treated state will give satisfactory service in concentrated UNH solutions. (M.H.R)

Transonic similarity rules are applied to the correlation of experimental data for a series of related rectangular wings of varying aspect ratio, thickness, and camber. The data correlation is presented in two parts: the first part presents the correlation for a series of 22 wings having symmetrical NACA 63a-series sections; the second part is concerned with a study of one type of camber by correlation of the data for a series of 18 cambered wings having NACA 63a2xx and 63a4xx sections.

From Introduction: "This report shows correlation between actual transient data obtained from the engine and solutions to a simulated system set up on an analog computer. Data are presented for response of engine speed to changes in set speed when the power plant was being controlled by a relay-type electronic governor that acted to maintain set speed by varying propeller pitch. Correlation obtained for sea-level conditions between actual time data and analog solutions is discussed."

Report presenting the effect on drag of varying the chordwise position of a nacelle at the wing tip of a 45 degree sweptback wing and body combination as determined through transonic flight tests at zero lift. The drag of the configuration with nacelles in the rear chordwise positions was equal to or less than the drag of the configuration without nacelles over most of the speed range.

A semiempirical method, in which potential theory is arbitrarily combined with an approximate viscous theory, for calculating the aerodynamic pitching moments for bodies of revolution is presented. The method can also be used for calculating the lift and drag forces. The calculated and experimental force and moment characteristics of 15 bodies of revolution are compared.

Report presenting flight measurements using the Douglas D-558-II airplane in order to determine the longitudinal stability and control characteristics in steady and accelerated flight. Results are given for various flap positions, especially in regards to degrees of instability present.

"An analytical investigation was made of the performance of isolated ram-jet engines in the flight Mach number range from 3 to 7 for two types of diffuser, a high-efficiency diffuser, and a normal-shock diffuser. The fuel was assumed to be a hydrocarbon similar to gasoline. The conclusions reached are: (1) a design altitude of about 100,000 feet is desirable for a high-efficiency high Mach number ram jet on the basis of engine construction and performance; and (2) although greater thrust could be obtained with other fuels, gasoline provides sufficient energy release for maximum engine efficiency in the flight Mach number range investigated. The maximum engine efficiency calculated was 0.47, which occurred at a Mach number of 5. At a Mach number of 7, the maximum propulsive-thrust coefficient was 0.57" (p. 1).

Examination of published data for some 52 isotopes indicates that the neutron energy for which the first resonance occurs is related to the magnitude of the thermal absorption cross section. The empirical relation obtained is in qualitative agreement with the results of a simplified version of the resonance theory of the nucleus of Breit-Wigner.

Report presenting aerodynamic parameters and operation techniques for a fin-actuated jet-vane system for the stabilization of a rocket-powered model by means of static and flight tests. Static testing was used to obtain lift, hinge moment, and center-of-pressure location of the jet vane, while the longitudinal stability characteristics of a simplified model were determined from the results of a flight test.

From Summary: "A full-scale ejector cooling investigation was made on a turbojet engine - afterburner installation in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel. Ejector performance was studied at primary exhaust-gas temperatures from 2700 degrees to 3400 degrees R (corresponding to ejector temperature ratios from 2.0 to 5.0), primary pressure ratios from 1.79 to 3.4, secondary air flows up to 29 percent of the primary gas flow, and for diameter ratios from 1.08 to 1.42 and spacing ratios from 0.04 to 1.16. In addition, variations were made in the primary exhaust-nozzle area."

Report presenting the results of pressure-distribution and force tests of two cone-cylinder configurations and a comparison with theoretical calculations. The first series was made up of three configurations with 20 degree conical noses and cylindrical afterbodies with 0, 2, and 4 diameter lengths and the second was made up of cylindrical afterbodies with a diameter length and conical noses with apex angles of 10 to 180 degrees. Results regarding the pressure distributions, aerodynamic forces, and Schileren photographs are provided.

Report presenting an investigation of combined compressor coolant injection and tailpipe burning as a means of turbojet engine thrust augmentation at sea-level, zero ram conditions on a 4000 pound thrust, axial-flow-type turbojet engine. Water-alcohol injection flows from 2 to 5 pounds per second were introduced into the compressor in conjunction with tail-pipe burner fuel-air ratios from 0.017 to stoichiometric. Results regarding engine performance and operational characteristics are provided.
