The attenuation characteristics of four specially designed mufflers tested on a practical engine setup
Attenuation characteristics of four different resonator mufflers were determined in both cold tests and engine field tests and compared with the theoretical calculations. These mufflers were specifically designed for a helicopter. Engine-exhaust sound pressures, temperatures, and noise levels from the helicopter were measured. The experimental muffler cold tests indicated close a agreement with theory, whereas the engine tests indicated some discrepancies. Test results show the usefulness of the theoretical equation used for predicting muffler attenuation characteristics.

Beta In Line Monitor for RCU Stream
Interest has been expressed in continuously monitoring the beta activity of the uranyl nitrate solution pumped to the RCU receiver tank, to facilitate operation at higher flow rates and with younger feeds. A beta scintillation detector has been developed which should make this feasible, and it is proposed that it be tested on stream for this use.

Combustion instability in an acid-heptane rocket with a pressurized-gas propellant pumping system
Report presenting results of experimental measurements of low-frequency combustion instability of a 300-pound-thrust acid-heptane rocket engine as compared with the trends predicted by an analysis of combustion instability in a rocket engine. Results regarding the chugging frequency, combustion time delay, effect of rocket combustion-chamber characteristic length, effect of throttling, effect of injection velocity, effect of oxidant-fuel ratio, variation of chugging frequency with amplitude of chamber pressure fluctuations, and evaluation of the analysis are provided.

The Creep of Single Crystals of Aluminum
The creep of single crystals of high-purity aluminum was investigated in the range of temperatures from room temperature to 400 F and at resolved-shear-stress levels of 200, 300, and 400 psi. The tests were designed in an attempt to produce data regarding the relation between the rate of strain and the mechanism of deformation. The creep data are analyzed in terms of shear strain rate and the results are discussed with regard to existing creep theories.

Deflection of Delta Wings Having a Carry-Through-Bay Chord Smaller than the Wing Root Chord
Note presenting experimentally determined influence coefficients for the deflection of two solid delta wings - one wing of constant thickness and the other of constant thickness ratio - with a carry-through-bay chord smaller than the wing root chord. The experimental tip-load deflections of the constant-thickness wing exceed those computed by the present theory by approximately 15 to 20 percent at the tip.

Effect of high bulk temperatures on boundary lubrication of steel surfaces by synthetic fluids
"High operating temperatures of new and projected turbine engines require that synthetic fluids be used as lubricants, because these fluids have better thermal stability and viscosity-temperature characteristics than petroleum oils have. An experimental study was conducted to learn the effect of high lubricant bulk temperatures on the boundary lubricating effectiveness of various types of synthetic fluid" (p. 1).

Hydroxyl Substitution in Thorite and Zircon
Report discussing a study in which "thorite-like minerals thorogummite, nicolayite, hydrothorite, maitlandite, mackintoshite, and hyblite are found to be minor chemical variants of a single phase, for which the name thorogummite has priority," and that "cyrtolite apparently stands in an analogous relation to zircon."

Impingement of Water Droplets on NACA 65(1)-208 and 65(1)-212 Airfoils at 4 Degrees Angle of Attack
"The trajectories of droplets in the air flowing past NACA 65(1)-208 airfoil and an NACA 65(1)-212 airfoil, both at an angle of attack of 4 degrees, were determined. The amount of water in droplet form impinging on the airfoils, the area of droplet impingement, and the rate of droplet impingement per unit area on the airfoil surface affected were calculated from the trajectories and are presented. The amount, extent, and rate of impingement of the NACA 65(1)-208 airfoil are compared with the results for the NACA 65(1)1-212 airfoil" (p. 1).

Investigation of Lateral Control Near the Stall: Flight Investigation With a Light High-Wing Monoplane Tested With Various Amounts of Washout and Various Lengths of Leading-Edge Slot
Note presenting flight tests made with a typical light airplane to investigate possibilities for obtaining reliable control at low flight speeds. An attempt was made to find a configuration that would provide sufficient elevator control for a three-point landing under the most critical condition and that would also have insufficient elevator control to exceed the angle of attack at which reliable lateral control is obtained in flight under all of the center-of-gravity and power conditions.
