Low-Speed Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Drag of a Lockheed F-94C Airplane (A.F. No. 50-956) (open access)

Low-Speed Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Drag of a Lockheed F-94C Airplane (A.F. No. 50-956)

From Summary: "The aerodynamic characteristics in pitch of an F-94C airplane, with the primary attention given to its drag characteristics, have been evaluated at low speed in the Ames 40- by 80-foot wind tunnel. The increments of drag due to various surface irregularities, ports, and component parts of the production airplane were determined. Wing-wake surveys were taken to determine the section drag coefficients at midsemispan for the smooth and the production wing. Base-pressure and internal drags of the air-induction system were measured at low inlet-velocity ratios. The characteristics of the airplane in the landing configuration are also included."

C and D machines functional and life tests: Interim report No. 2, Test project No. 29

This test project is being carried on for the purpose of testing certain machines which are designed to charge and discharge reactor units with process metal while the unit is in operation. Satisfactory charging of process pieces while the reactor now required for charging operations. These presently required shutdowns are costly in terms of production time, and may cause undesirable thermal stresses in the unit as it changes power level. If charging can be accomplished during operation, reactor shutdowns would only be necessary for maintenance or emergency purposes. During the testing of these metal handling machines, problems have arisen involving the behavior of the process pieces as they are charged. Because these problems directly affect the charging operations, they are being closely investigated also. the machines covered by this report are designated as pressurized machines since they contain the same water pressure as the end of the process tube on ;which they are located. In most of the test work covered by this report, the full scale pressurized charging machine was replaced with a small charging cylinder. The charging operation was simplified by this change.

Dependence of Thermal Utilization and Resonance Escape Probability Upon Fuel Element Density in D₂O Cooled and Moderated Systems

Abstract: "The effect of variation in fuel element density upon f, p in a D2O cooled and moderated lattice of cylindrical fuel elements is investigated. The CP-3 lattice is chosen as a reference. The effect of a source term in the fuel element is considered. f, p are calculated as functions of "a", the ratio of the modified fuel element density to the original (fuel only) density. Curves showing f(a), p(a) are included. It is concluded that a 1 per cent decrease in the product, f(d), p(a) is not suffered until a=0.3. A 5 per cent decrease in k is estimated at a-0.4. The necessity of introducing the fuel element source term into the calculation after a has been decreased to about 0.6 is brought out."
