Computer acquired performance data from an etched-rhenium, molybdenum planar diode

Performance data from an etched-rhenium, molybdenum thermionic converter are presented. The planar converter has a guard-ringed collector and a fixed spacing of 0.254 mm (10 mils). The data were acquired by using a computer and are available on microfiche as individual or composite parametric current, voltage curves. The parameters are the temperatures of the emitter T sub E, collector T sub C and cesium reservoir T sub R. The composite plots have constant T sub E, and varying T sub C or T sub R, or both. The envelope and composite plots having constant I sub E are presented. The diode was tested at increments between 1500 and 2000 K for the emitter, 750 and 1100 K for the collector, and 540 and 640 K for the reservoir. In all, 774 individual current, voltage curves were obtained.

FORTRAN program for generating a two-dimensional orthogonal mesh between two arbitrary boundaries

A FORTRAN 4 program is presented which computes and plots coordinates for a two-dimensional orthogonal mesh in the region between the walls of a flow channel. The program is designed for a channel containing a body about which flow passes and which spans the channel from one wall to the other. However, the condition that the channel contain an immersed body can be easily removed from the program. Input to the program consists of spline points of the channel walls and the body geometry. Output includes printed and plotted coordinates of the generated orthogonal mesh and angles of the mesh with the horizontal plane.

An improved multiple linear regression and data analysis computer program package

NEWRAP, an improved version of a previous multiple linear regression program called RAPIER, CREDUC, and CRSPLT, allows for a complete regression analysis including cross plots of the independent and dependent variables, correlation coefficients, regression coefficients, analysis of variance tables, t-statistics and their probability levels, rejection of independent variables, plots of residuals against the independent and dependent variables, and a canonical reduction of quadratic response functions useful in optimum seeking experimentation. A major improvement over RAPIER is that all regression calculations are done in double precision arithmetic.

Saturation magnetization of polycrystalline iron

The magnetic moment per gram, sigma (H sub I, T), where H sub I is the internal field and T is the temperature, was measured for a polycrystalline iron sphere with the vibrating-sample magnetometer. The instrument was calibrated by using a method utilizing the high permeability of an iron sphere. The spontaneous moment, sigma(0, T),was obtained from plots of sigma(H sub I, T) as a function of H sub I for temperatures from 4.2 K to room temperature. The value of the spontaneous moment, sigma(0, T), at 298.9 K was 217.5 + or -0.4 emu/g. The extrapolated moment, sigma(0, 0),at absolute zero from a plot of sigma(0, T) as a function of T to 3/2 power was 221.7 + or - 0.4 emu/g.

Dynamics of a supersonic inlet-engine combination subjected to disturbances in fuel flow and inlet overboard bypass airflow

An axisymmetric mixed-compression supersonic inlet and a single-spool turbojet engine were dynamically tested at Mach 2.5. The propulsion system was subjected to sweep-frequency sinusoidal disturbances of either inlet overboard bypass airflow. The disturbances were at a logarithmic sweep rate of 1 decade per minute. Dynamic responses were taken of signals throughout the propulsion system. Selected signals were reduced relative to the prime propulsion system parameters. The experimental data are presented in Bode plots. Most of the plots are for a frequency range of 1.0 to 50 hertz.

Lunar ephemeris and selenographic coordinates of the earth and sun for 1971 and 1972

Ephemeris data are presented for each month of 1971 and 1972 to provide a time history of lunar coordinates and related geometric information. A NASA Manned Spacecraft Center modification of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ephemeris tape was used to calculate and plot coordinates of the earth, moon, and sun. The ephemeris is referenced to the mean vernal equinox at the nearest beginning of a Besselian year. Therefore, the reference equinox changes from one year to the next between 30 June and 1 July. The apparent discontinuity in the data is not noticeable in the graphical presentation, but can be observed in the digital output. The mean equator of epoch is used in all cases. The computer program used to compute and plot the ephemeris data is described.

Entropy and chemical change. 1: Characterization of product (and reactant) energy distributions in reactive molecular collisions: Information and enthropy deficiency

Optimal means of characterizing the distribution of product energy states resulting from reactive collisions of molecules with restricted distributions of initial states are considered, along with those for characterizing the particular reactant state distribution which yields a given set of product states at a specified total energy. It is suggested to represent the energy-dependence of global-type results in the form of square-faced bar plots, and of data for specific-type experiments as triangular-faced prismatic plots. The essential parameters defining the internal state distribution are isolated, and the information content of such a distribution is put on a quantitative basis. The relationship between the information content, the surprisal, and the entropy of the continuous distribution is established. The concept of an entropy deficiency, which characterizes the specificity of product state formation, is suggested as a useful measure of the deviance from statistical behavior. The degradation of information by experimental averaging is considered, leading to bounds on the entropy deficiency.

A resonant instability of model proton radiation belts in the Jovian magnetosphere

The ion cyclotron instability and characteristics of the ion cyclotron wave are discussed. A mathematical perturbation technique is applied to the dispersion relations, and the results are applied to the case of propagation parallel to the magnetic field. The ion cyclotron wave is determined in its damping and growth characteristics by resonant protons and electrons, found in momentum space on resonant surfaces. In the relativistic case the resonant surfaces are hyperbolas of revolution around the magnetic field, and protons can have a stabilizing effect. Instability rates are calculated for the region in the equatorial plane with the Ioannidis and Brice density model. The upper limit of proton flux which gives an energy density of the same order of magnitude as the magnetic field energy density is obtained. The upper limit is plotted with respect to distance from Jupiter and the minimum resonant energy contributing to the instability is also plotted.

The NASA earth resources spectral information system: A data compilation

The NASA Earth Resources Spectral Information System and the information contained therein are described. It contains an ordered, indexed compilation of natural targets in the optical region from 0.3 to 45.0 microns. The data compilation includes approximately 100 rock and mineral, 2600 vegetation, 1000 soil, and 60 water spectral reflectance, transmittance, and emittance curves. Most of the data have been categorized by subject, and the curves in those subject areas have been plotted on a single graph. Those categories with too few curves and miscellaneous categories have been plotted as single-curve graphs. Each graph, composite of single, is fully titled to indicate curve source and is indexed by subject to facilitate user retrieval.

Lunar ephemeris and selenographic coordinates of the earth and sun for 1979 and 1980

Ephemeris data are presented in sections for each month for 1979 and 1980 to provide a time history of lunar coordinates and related geometric information. A NASA Manned Spacecraft Center modification of an ephemeris tape was used to calculate and plot coordinates of the earth, moon, and sun. The ephemeris is referenced to the mean vernal equinox at the nearest beginning of a Besselian year. Therefore, the reference equinox changes from one year to the next between 30 June and 1 July. The apparent discontinuity in the data is not noticeable in the graphical presentation, but can be observed in the digital output. The mean equator of epoch is used in all cases. The computer program used to compute and plot the ephemeris data is described in the appendix.

Lunar ephemeris and selenographic coordinates of the earth and sun for 1981 and 1982

Ephemeris data are presented in sections for each month for 1981 and 1982 to provide a time history of lunar coordinates and related geometric information. A NASA Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) modification of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ephemeris tape was used to calculate and plot coordinates of the earth, moon, and sun. The ephemeris is referenced to the mean vernal equinox at the nearest beginning of a Besselian year. Therefore, the reference equinox changes from one year to the next between June 30 and July 1. The apparent discontinuity in the data is not noticeable in the graphical presentation, but can be observed in the digital output. The mean equator of epoch is used in all cases. For 1966 to 1970, the same type of data presentation has been prepared in informal MSC documents. The data for 1971 to 1980 and 1983 and 1984 are presented. The computer program used to compute and plot the ephemeris data is described.

Three dimensional compressible boundary-layer computations for a finite swept wing

Three-dimensional, compressible turbulent boundary-layer calculations have been performed for the finite supercritical wing of the NASA modified F8 transonic research airplane. Data on the boundary-layer thickness, displacement thickness, skin friction components, and integrated streamwise skin friction are presented for points along the streamwise stations of which the pressure measurements were previously made. Representative velocity profiles are shown, and boundary-layer-thickness contour plots and skin-friction vector plots are presented. Results are given for a Reynolds number of 1.5 million per foot, and for Mach numbers of 0.50 and 0.99.

Regional variations in degradation and density of Martian craters.

Martian craters visible on Mariner 6 and 7 imagery show a spectrum of topographic types from very fresh to highly degraded. A method of numerical scoring of rim, wall, and floor is proposed to yield a degradation number to classify each crater. Plots of degradation class vs density of large craters are similar for all four regions studied, whereas similar plots for small craters show marked differences between regions. The data suggest general continuity of crater formation and degradation, along with locally sporadic formation and/or degradation of the smallest craters classified. Deucalionis Regio, with an excess of fresh, small craters, experienced an episode of small crater formation (or nondegradation) most recently; Margaritifer Sinus was similarly disturbed at some more remote time. Meridiani Sinus and Hellespontus-Noachis show little or no sign of excess fresh, small craters.
