Alloys of Uranium with Zirconium, Chromium, Columbium, Vanadium, and Molybdenum

Abstract: Information on five uranium binary alloy systems has been surveyed. These systems are the alloys of uranium with zirconium, chromium, columbium, vanadium, and molybdenum. The equilibrium diagrams are discussed, and where available, data have been included on diffusion studies, cladding experiments, and mechanical properties.

Investigation of turbines suitable for use in a turbojet engine with high compressor pressure ratio and low compressor tip-speed 2: velocity-diagram study of turbine for engine operation with constant exhaust-nozzle area (open access)

Investigation of turbines suitable for use in a turbojet engine with high compressor pressure ratio and low compressor tip-speed 2: velocity-diagram study of turbine for engine operation with constant exhaust-nozzle area

Report presenting an investigation of whether or not a two-stage turbine with the frontal area no larger than the compressor frontal area could be satisfactorily designed to drive a particular compressor under take-off conditions. The low blade-tip speed, high work, and high air flow per unit of frontal area of the compressor make it critical that a two-stage turbine is designed to drive it. Results regarding the effect of work division, effect of variation in cone angle, and effects of radial variations on velocity diagrams are provided.

Drag of circular cylinders for a wide range of Reynolds numbers and Mach numbers (open access)

Drag of circular cylinders for a wide range of Reynolds numbers and Mach numbers

From Summary: "Pressure distributions around circular cylinders placed perpendicular to the stream for subsonic and supersonic flow conditions have been obtained. Drag coefficients calculated from these wind-tunnel tests and from transonic free-flight tests are presented. Drag data are presented for the Mach number range of 0.3 to 2.9."

Reaction of Graphic with Sodium (open access)

Reaction of Graphic with Sodium

Most of the publications in the open literature available to us agree that sodium does not readily react with graphite, though potassium, rubidium, and cesium readily enter between the planes of the graphite lattice. In view of the conflicting evidence available, it seems inadvisable without very extensive further study to consider the use of graphite in direct contact with liquid sodium, except under very mild conditions of temperature and irradiation, and then only with very pure sodium and completely graphitized graphite.
