Development and Use of Certain Flotation Reagents (open access)

Development and Use of Certain Flotation Reagents

From Forward: "When the experiments described in this bulletin were begun many of the reagents were available only in trial quantities. Some of them are now available in commercial quantities and are of different compositions from those that were available for experimental work. It was not possible to determine the exact chemical composition of some of the reagents."

Potash Salts from Texas-New Mexico Polyhalite Deposits: Commercial Possibilities, Proposed Technology, and Pertinent Salt-Solution Equilibria (open access)

Potash Salts from Texas-New Mexico Polyhalite Deposits: Commercial Possibilities, Proposed Technology, and Pertinent Salt-Solution Equilibria

From Introduction: "Figure 1 shows the location of sources that have been either exploited or seriously considered at one time or another, super-imposed upon a map indicating by small letters the order of consumption of K2O in the leading States; the amount used in these States, together with the percentage of the total consumption of potash used as fertilizer in the United States in 1939, is given in table 1. Figure 2 shows the domestic production and total consumption of potassium salts, in terms of tons of K2O, with the value per unit at the plants, for each year since 1913. Considered together, these two figures tell a significant story."

Flight Investigation of Boundary-Layer Control by Suction Slots on an NACA 35-215 Low-Drag Airfoil at High Reynolds Numbers

Report presenting an investigation of the effectiveness of suction slots as a means of extending the laminar boundary layer in flight at high Reynolds numbers on an NACA 35-215 airfoil. The results showed that, with a slot spacing of about 5 percent of the chord, the laminar boundary layer could be maintained to or slightly beyond 45 percent of the chord.

Flight Tests of the High-Speed Performance of a P-51B Airplane (AAF No. 43-12105) (open access)

Flight Tests of the High-Speed Performance of a P-51B Airplane (AAF No. 43-12105)

Report discussing testing to check the improvement of 3 or 4 miles per hour in the maximum speed of the P-51B airplane as a result of sealing the wing-gun access doors and flap-spar lightening holes. Large variations in speed were observed during testing, so additional testing and analysis was carried out to determine the effects of various factors that were suspected of contributing to the inconsistency of the plane's performance.

Ovalization of Tubes Under Bending and Compression (open access)

Ovalization of Tubes Under Bending and Compression

"An empirical equation has been developed that gives the approximate amount of ovalization for tubes under bending loads. Tests were made on tubes in the d/t range from 6 to 14, the latter d/t ratio being in the normal landing gear range. Within the range of the series of tests conducted, the increase in ovalization due to a compression load in combination with a bending load was very small" (p. 1).
