Chemical Research -- U233 Production and Extraction; Report for the Month Ending June 21, 1943 (open access)

Chemical Research -- U233 Production and Extraction; Report for the Month Ending June 21, 1943

Abstract. The precipitation of Pa233 with MnO2 from a solution of thorium nitrate has been studied in some detail and seems quite satisfactory up to 36 gm Th(HO3)4 4H2O per 100 cc solution. The concentration of Pa233 with respect to the manganese dioxide carrier and the thorium precipitated with the carrier appears to be accomplished quite well by either a series of MnO2 cycles or thorium iodate cycles. Volatility methods for both the separation of Pa233 from the original thorium and for its separation from MnO2 are now under investigation. It has been decided that thorium carbonate will the the thorium compound used in the pile at Site X.

Investigation of wing characteristics at a Mach number of 1.53 3: unswept wings of differing aspect ratio and taper ratio

Report presenting testing of seven models that from two different wing series: a series of taper ratio 0.5 and differing aspect ratio and a series of aspect ratio 4 and differing taper ratio. Measurements of lift, drag, and pitching moment were made at Mach number 1.53.

NACA: University Conference on Aerodynamics: A Compilation of the Papers Presented

This document contains reproductions of the technical papers presented at the NACA - University Conference on Aerodynamics held at the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory on June 21, 22, and 23, 1948. The conference was held in recognition of the difficulties, imposed by security restrictions, in keeping abreast of the rapid advances in aerodynamics. The papers were prepared to review the status of a number of fields of interest, to summarize the more important wartime advances that are no longer classified, and to orient reference material for further study.

Two-dimensional compressible flow in centrifugal compressors with straight blades

"Six numerical examples are presented for steady, two-dimensional, compressible, nonviscous flow in centrifugal compressors with thin straight blades, the center lines of which generate the surface of a right circular cone when rotated about the axis of the compressor. A seventh example is presented for incompressible flow. The solutions were obtained in a region of the compressors, including the impeller tip, that was considered to be unaffected by the diffuser vanes or by the impeller-inlet configuration" (p. 141).

An Integrated Miniature Solvent Extraction System for Processing Radioactive Solutions (open access)

An Integrated Miniature Solvent Extraction System for Processing Radioactive Solutions

Abstract: "Because of the radiation hazards inherent in processing large volumes of radioactive solutions by solvent extraction techniques, there is need for a system with small hold-up which can be contained within a minimum of shielding and yet which is versatile enough to be used as a research tool. A system utilizing a miniature mixer-settler has been constructed and its successful operation by remote means demonstrated. The unit is semiportable and employs a number of novel features of value in studying a wide variety of solvent extraction flowsheets. Data on the distribution of nitric acid between water and tributyl phosphate (in kerosene) are included as a demonstration of the operability of the unit."
