Four years at Hanford
Operation, rehabilitation, and expansion of Hanford Works was undertaken by GE from Sept. 1946 to the end of 1950. As a result of engineering progress, graphite reactors continue to be the country`s primary source of plutonium in production quantities; at the end of 1950, the plutonium production rate from the Hanford reactors was 299% of the 1946 rate with a 67% increase in reactor facilities. Improvements to existing plant facilities and processes resulted in savings of $53.3 M; in addition, it would have been necessary, in order to produce the amount of Pu delivered through 1950, to have constructed facilities costing $225.4 M if the following improvements had not been made: an irradiation-stable uranium slug; annealing of graphite; increased operating power level of the reactors; and improved separation methods. Tritium production, health/safety, and community management are mentioned.

Method for Estimating Lift Interference of Wing-Body Combinations at Supersonic Speeds
Memorandum presenting the use of the modified slender-body method to predict the lift and moment interference of triangular wing-body combinations adapted to combinations with other than triangular wings. The methods are applied to the prediction of the lit-curve slopes of nearly 100 triangular, rectangular, and trapezoidal wing-body configurations.

Pile Technology Test Report: Flapper Nozzle Assembly
The functional operation of the flapper nozzle was tested by charging slugs through it while water flow rates up to 48.4 gpm and inlet header pressures up to 400 psig. were maintained. Comparative damage to the slugs by the flapper nozzle and an H-type inlet nozzle was determined by charging slugs through the nozzles with a 105-D type air cylinder charging machine under conditions of no water flow or lubrication. The effect of the nozzle design on the inlet pressure fluctuations was determined while using 0.140, 0.200, and 0.285 inlet orifices as well as no orifice. The flapper nozzles operated satisfactorily for all conditions tested, without leakage from the flapper valve or the needle valve. However, the flapper valve became loosened on the shaft after several operations, and it is felt that the design should be changed to insure that it is rigidly fastened to the shaft at all times. Damage to the slugs by either the flapper nozzle or the H-type inlet nozzle was negligible. The ribs of the process tube caused the normal parallel, longitudinal scratches the length of the slugs. Maximum fluctuations of {+-} 5 psig were noted on the inlet pressure gauge reading, at compared with …

An Investigation of the Drag and Pressure Recovery of a Submerged Inlet and a Nose Inlet in the Transonic Flight Range With Free-Fall Models
"The drag and pressure recovery of an NACA submerged-inlet model and an NACA series I nose-inlet model were investigated in the transonic flight range. The tests were conducted over a mass-flow-ratio range of 0.4 to 0.8 and a Mach number range of about 0.8 to 1.10 employing large-scale recoverable free-fall models. The results indicate that the Mach number of drag divergence of the inlet models was about the same as that of a basic model without inlets" (p. 1).

Report on decreasing available acceleration of 190-B process pump turbines in order to reduce emergency steam demand
As originally installed, the primary process pump turbines in 190-B were arranged to accelerate considerably upon loss of BPA electric power supply to the Process Pump House. However, the acceleration comes too late to be of value in maintaining top of riser pressure within the first second or two, and the acceleration results only in maintaining final process water pressure and flow at values higher than needed. It is desired to limit the acceleration of the turbines to a relatively small amount in order to decrease the emergency steam demands and keep the combined steam demands of 100-B and 100-C Areas within the capacity of 184-B Boiler House, as outlined in Document HDC-2106, revised June 4, 1951. This report recommends that the desired results be obtained by simply reducing the speed setting of the turbine speed governors. No new equipment is needed. The setting of the emergency over speed trips would be left unchanged.

Free-Spinning Tunnel Investigation of a 1/20-Scale Model of the Douglas X-3 Airplane
Report discussing the spin and spin-recovery characteristics of a model of the Douglas X-3 airplane in a free-spinning tunnel. The pitching-moment characteristics of the scale model were not found to be typical of larger scale results. The results indicated that at an altitude range of 15,000 to 30,000 feet, the X-3 will not exhibit unusual trim tendencies and it will be difficult to obtain erect spins unless the ailerons are full with the spin.

Altitude Wind Tunnel Investigation of the Performance of Compressor, Combustor, and Turbine Components of Prototype J47D (RX1-1) Turbojet Engine
"As a portion of an over-all performance investigation of the prototype J47D (RX-1) turbojet engine, performance of the compressor, combustor, and turbine components has been determined in the Lewis altitude wind tunnel over a range of altitude from 5000 to 55,000 feet and at flight Mach numbers from 0.19 to 0.92. Investigations were conducted with the engine operating on an electronic control schedule and slow with a two-lever control system by which fuel flow and exhaust-nozzle area could be controlled separately. Two combustor configurations were investigated" (p. 1).

Effects of altitude on turbojet engine performance
From Summary: "Component and over-all performance characteristics of several turbojet engines investigated in the altitude facilities of the NACA Lewis Laboratory during the last several years are summarized to indicate the effects of altitude on turbojet engine performance. Data presented show that failure of turbojet engine performance to generalize for all altitudes can be traced to reductions in compressor efficiency, corrected air flow, and combustion efficiency at altitude. In addition, it is shown that although engines of different design may have equal thrusts at sea level, the thrusts at altitude may vary widely because of differences in compressor performance characteristics from one engine to another."

Experimental Investigation of Effect of Jet Exit Configuration on Thrust and Drag
Memorandum presenting an investigation of the problem of performance losses occurring when airplanes equipped with afterburner and cooling-air ejector installations are flown with the afterburner inoperative. Two sources of the performance losses occurring under some operation conditions were identified: an overexpansion of the propulsive jet and an internal shock system and the excessive pumping action resulting from the off-design.
