"The perturbation field induced by a line vortex in a supersonic stream and the downwash behind a supersonic lifting surface are examined to establish approximate methods for determining the downwash behind supersonic wings. Lifting-lines methods are presented for calculating supersonic downwash. A bent lifting-line method is proposed for computing the downwash field behind swept wings. When applied to triangular wings with subsonic leading edges, this method gives results that, in general, are in good agreement with the exact linearized solution" (p. 635).

Report presenting a study of the effect of fuel properties on carbon deposition in jet-propulsion engine combustors using seven fuels: kerosene, Diesel fuel oil, toluene, xylene, 62-octane gasoline, a commercial solvent, and AN-F-32 (JP-1) in an I-16 engine at static sea-level conditions and constant rotor speed. Results regarding the reproducibility of data, reduced exhaust-jet-nozzle area, and fuel comparison are provided.

Memorandum presenting an investigation of the effect of fuel composition and boiling point on the performance of the type of I-16 jet-propulsion engine. Testing occurred with 14 fuels embodying different types of hydrocarbon and with a range of boiling points. The results indicated that fuel composition and boiling range have a negligible effect on engine thrust, rotor speed, and gas temperatures for the principal types of hydrocarbon fuel when used for short periods of time.

Abstract: "A summary of the information contained in several reports relative to the use of hexachloropropylene for the preparation of UCl4. Data relative to the performance of charge material so prepared and to pilot plants are omitted."

Report presents the results of an investigation made to determine the influence of various factors on the take-off performance of a hypothetical large flying boat by means of take-off calculations. The factors varied in the calculations were size of hull (load coefficient), wing setting, trim, deflection of flap, wing loading, aspect ratio, and parasite drag. The take-off times and distances were calculated to the stalling speeds and the performance above these speeds was separately studied to determine piloting technique for optimum take-off.

An analysis has been made of the characteristics of several cooling cycles suitable for cockpit cooling of supersonic aircraft. All the cycles considered utilize the difference between dynamic and ambient static pressure to actuate the cooling system and require no additional power source. The results of the study indicate that as flight speeds become greater, increasingly complex systems are required to reduce the altitudes above approximately 35,000 feet, a system composed of an externally loaded expansion turbine in conjunction with a supersonic diffuser would maintain tolerable ventilating air temperature, at least up to a flight Mach number of 2. The most complex system considered,composed of compressor, intercooler, and expansion turbine with the intercooler cooling air decreased in temperature by expansion through an auxiliary turbine is capable of maintaining a ventilation air temperature less than ambient temperature up to a flight Mach number of 3.7.

"A system for calculating the physical properties of supersonic rotational flow with axial symmetry and supersonic rotational flow in a two-dimensional field was determined by use of the characteristics method. The system was applied to the study of external and internal flow for supersonic inlets with axial symmetry. For a circular conical inlet the shock that occurred at the lip of the inlet became stronger as it approached the axis of the inlet and became a normal shock at the axis" (p. 111).

Introduction. As stated in Report KAPL 116, one of the objectives of the KAPL reactor is "to provide a prototype demonstration of the practical general of electrical power from Nuclear energy using molten sodium as the primary coolant. The reactor will generate steam at a temperature of 550 degrees F and 465 psia, including 90 degree superheat potentially capable of an efficiency of twenty-eight per cent in electrical output." The work reported here is intended to increase the scope and supply an independent check on the heat transfer system analysis that has previously been done. The purpose of these analyses is to investigate the effects on load rating and top reactor temperature.

To determine whether or not the (n,2n) reaction in Be would produce a net increase in fission neutrons in a power plant, the distribution of In resonance neutrons slowed down from fission energies in a graphite block was measured with and without a 2" of Be in front of a U3O8 slab undergoing fission. The thermal neutrons producing the fissions were obtained by slowing down neutrons from a cyclotron source. The observed distribution without Be was well represented by a Gaussian source range 36 cm. (corresponding to an initial fission energy of 3 MeV) and a similar sink of range 7.8 cm. The total In resonance intensity with Be was 5% less than without Be. On the assumption that the effect of the Be is entirely due to its different mean free path and moderating power, the In distribution with Be was calculated. Since the m.f.p. as a function of energy is not known for Be, two separate calculations were made using the highest (2.9 cm.) and the lowest (1.80 cm.) possible values for the effective Be m.f.p. Both calculated curves were found to be higher than the observed Be distribution, indicating that at least 10% of the fission neutrons …
