"A general method of design is developed for two-dimensional unbranched channels with prescribed velocities as a function of arc length along the channel walls. The method is developed for both compressible and incompressible, irrotational, nonviscous flow and applies to the design of elbows, diffusers, nozzles, and so forth. In part I solutions are obtained by relaxation methods; in part II solutions are obtained by a Green's function. Five numerical examples are given in part I including three elbow designs with the same prescribed velocity as a function of arc length along the channel walls but with incompressible, linearized compressible, and compressible flow" (p. 153).

"Values of total drag coefficient were measured for four round-nosed bodies of revolution in free flight at Mach numbers from 0.6 to 1.5 and Reynolds numbers from 10 x 10(6) to 50 x 10(6). The bodies were designed by rounding off the sharp, fineness-ratio-3.56 nose of a previously tested configuration. The nose radii tested were 27.4, 38.7, 80.6, and 100 percent of the maximum body radius and corresponded to values of 0.075, 0.150, 0.650, and 1.000, respectively, for the ratio of nose-sphere frontal area to body frontal area" (p. 1).

Report presenting a pilot-opinion survey conducted with a conventional fighter airplane fitted with special servo devices for varying in flight the dihedral effect, static directional stability, and directional damping. Results showing the boundaries that define satisfactory and tolerable lateral oscillatory characteristics are presented.

The 105-B Pile which was shut down on July 18, 1951 to permit removal of a ruptured uranium slug from tube No. 2169-B. The rupture was detected from effluent water monitor evidence and a survey of rear face pigtails. Removal was accomplished with the pneumatic charging machine using only normal pushing force.

A correlation of spontaneous fission rates with Z and A is made to show that these rates depend on the nuclear type. Some suggestions as to the mechanisms are given and it is also shown how these relate to the mechanism of slow neutron and photo fission.

An R.F. joint tester was designed to determine the relative heating and tendency toward arching at high RF current density (100 amps/linear inch) of a 12 inch diameter circular copper butt joint in vacuum with several types of inserts and at various amounts of axial loading, ranging from a very small contact pressure to one of 1400 pounds per linear inch of joint.
