Uranium-235 Abundance by Gamma Spectrometry (open access)

Uranium-235 Abundance by Gamma Spectrometry

Techniques are described for determining U-235 abundance by measurement of the intensity of 0.18 Mev gamma radiation. One method involves measurement of the ratio of the intensity of 0.18-Mev radiation to that of 0.1 Mev radiation. The preferred technique consists of chemical separation of uranium followed by direct counting of 0.18-Mev photons. Application has been made in analysis of uranium samples of abundances in the range of 0.05% to 93%. Accuracy appears to be better than 3% if the abundance is between 0.7% and 100%. Findings in the self-absorption of 0.18 Mev radiation in uranium oxide are presented.

Time Variation of Thermodynamic Parameters of a Gas in the Region of a Shock Front : Progress Report III (open access)

Time Variation of Thermodynamic Parameters of a Gas in the Region of a Shock Front : Progress Report III

The original goal of this investigation was to compare the thermodynamic characteristics of the gases in and behind the shock fronts in gases at initial pressures in the millimeter range and to compare these characteristics in the geometries of single and double discharges. The shock fronts were not visible, so it was not possible, at these pressures, to get visual data from the shock front itself. The parameters giving the properties of the gases were faces. Measurements made with an image converter camera (which is still in the development stage) agree well with these made with a photomultiplier tube. Differences are observed between the front velocities in the cases studied. These are of the order of 3 to 15 per cent. Considering the nature of the shot to shot fluctuations in the discharges and the inductance variation between the single and double discharges represent a physical difference. The mathematical treatment which says that two equal strength colliding with a wall behaves, has not been shown to be inadequate by this investigation. It was hoped that a stronger confirmation could be fien to the theory, but the accuracy of the data does not warrant it.

Refinements of the Theory of the Infinitely-Long, Self-Acting, Gas-Lubricated Journal Bearing. Interim Report (open access)

Refinements of the Theory of the Infinitely-Long, Self-Acting, Gas-Lubricated Journal Bearing. Interim Report

The lubrication equations for an arbitrary Newtonian fluid are derived directly from the general equations for conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. From the lubrication equations an inequality is obtained for the internal film temperature rise, after which the isothermal film equations are derived. Then, for perfectly-aligned self-acting journal bearings, a conservation equation is obtained. For gas bearings this condition gives: [formula] constant along the axis of the bearing. Application of this condition to the infinitely-long gas bearing gives more accurate pressure solutions for this case. The Katto-Soda form of the differential equation for the infinitely-long bearing is solved by a series expansion in the eccentricity ratio, the first terms of which give the original, approximate Katto-Soda solution. In addition, solutions obtained numerically by digital computations are presented in graphical and tabular form for eccentricity ratios from 0 to 0.9 and compressible bearing parameter [formula]. Design charts based on these calculations are provided.

During the past year, three papers covering results of a major series of experiments on intergenotype of blood-forming tissue have appeared, demonstrating successful implantation of isologues normal cells in anemic hosts, permanently correcting their genetic defect in hematopoiesis, both with and without irradiation of the host. Heavy host irradiation was shown ineffective as preparations for implantation of homologous cells of widely different antigenic types.

Progress letter No. 11 for January 1, 1960 through January 31, 1960

A stainless steel autoclave for superheated water corrosion test was installed and "conditioned". Tests were begun to investigate the feasibility of densifying slip cast stainless steel by means of liquid phase sintering. Attempts to prepare tubular fuel elements by vacuum forming were resumed. Although thick-walled vacuum formed casting have been sintered on the aluminum mandrels without cracking, this has not yet been accomplished with the think sections of interest.
