Report presenting the results of an analytical investigation, which demonstrated that the inlet of a turbojet engine can be protected from ice accretions by bleeding hot gases from other locations within the engine to the inlet without undue loss in thrust. Results regarding the bleedback requirements, engine performance, effect of nozzle area, mixing efficiency, and seriousness of thrust losses are provided.

"A graphical method is described for finding the shape (camber and twist) of an airfoil having an arbitrary distribution of lift. The method consists in replacing the lifting surface and its wake with an equivalent arrangement of vortices and in finding the associated vertical velocities. By division of the vortex pattern into circular strips concentric about the downwash point instead of into the usual rectangular strips, the lifting surface is reduced for each downwash point to an equivalent loaded line for which the induced velocity is readily computed" (p. 543).

An extended form of the Ackeret iteration method, applicable to arbitrary profiles, is utilized to calculate the compressible flow at high subsonic velocities past an elliptic cylinder. The angle of attack to the direction of the undisturbed stream is small and the circulation is fixed by the Kutta condition at the trailing end of the major axis. The expression for the lifting force on the elliptic cylinder is derived and shows a first-step improvement of the Prandtl-Glauert rule. It is further shown that the expression for the lifting force, although derived specifically for an elliptic cylinder, may be extended to arbitrary symmetrical profiles.

Exploratory tests are reported which indicate the feasibility of a one-step reduction process for the preparation of uranium metal from the hexafluoride by the action of calcium metal and iodine.

Report discussing an investigation on the effect of engine skew on the directional and lateral control characteristics of a single-engine airplane with a single-rotating propeller. The estimated and test results showed an advantage to skewing the propeller, as it assists with overcoming inadequate rudder control in power-on flight and aileron control, especially with flaps deflected.

Technical report. The object of the research is to determine the procedure and equipment for the preparation of U233 on a semi-works scale. The general proposed procedure is that thorium carbonate in aluminum cans will be irradiated with pile neutrons. The Pa233 resulting from neutron absorption the Th232 and the decay of Th233 will be extraction from 99% of the thorium and the natural U in thorium by MnO2 precipitations. The Pa233 will then be allowed to decay to U233 which in turn will be isolated from the remaining Th and partially decayed Pa233 by ether extraction.

The following represents a summary of calculations on the multiplication constant of homogeneous mixtures of uranium and different moderators. These calculations were made possible by Fermi's determination of the age of neutrons and by the extrapolation to higher scattering cross-sections of the resonance absorption of uranium as measured by C. Creutz. According to Fermi, the former quantity is 120 sq. cm. The latter is given in the two attached graphs. The first (Fig.1) of these goes as high as a scattering cross-section of 70 x 10-24 cm.2 per uranium atom, and its highest point is taken from a measurement of Cruetz's in which a mixture of U3O8 and graphite was used.
