The isentropic expansions of parahydrogen at various total pressures and total temperatures were numerically determined by iterating Mach number and by using a modified interval halving method. The calculated isentropic values and related properties are presented in tabulated form.

A review of the energy level and heat of formation data for the species C2H, C3H, and C4H is given. The procedure for computing thermochemical data from partition function is also reviewed. Working expressions for approximate partition functions, free-energy function, enthalpy function, and heat capacity for a linear polyatomic species are presented.
Predicted intensities of all significant transitions within the ground configurations of six-, seven-, and eight-electron ions are tabulated for solar conditions, on a common scale. Some applications of the table entries to line identification and emission measure analysis are presented, including proposed Mg VI classifications for the coronal lines 3488.5 A and 3502.5 A.
The distribution coefficients of Ni and P in Fe-Ni-S-P alloys are determined using a plane front solidification technique. It is found that the distribution coefficient of Ni is altered only when both S and P are present as alloy constituents; the coefficient increases with S and P contents in the liquid alloy and varies from 0.9 to 1.30. The behavior of the distribution coefficient of P is determined by the S/P ratio in the liquid; the coefficient increases with the S/P ratio and varies from 0.25 to 5.8. Expressions are presented which relate the distribution coefficients of Ni and P to the S and P contents in the liquid.
Bolometer elements were built and tested using NTD germanium and ion-implanted Si thermometer elements. The thermal links were made using aluminum wires and NbC(x)N(y) coated carbon fibers. The temperature dependence of the detector resistance, lead thermal conductivity, and heat capacity were measured. The dependence of the detector resistance on applied electric field was also measured. This, combined with the current-voltage curve for the detector, allowed the calculation of the detector responsivity. Known amounts of energy were deposited into the detector by allowing X-rays from the decay of Fe-55 to be thermalized in the detector. In the best-measured case, the predicted pulse height/measured height was 1.04 + or - .05. The noise at frequencies above 25 Hz in the NTD Ge was near that predicted by thermodynamics. The noise below 25 Hz has a 1/f character and may be in the carbon fiber/bolometer junction. The implanted detectors show some 1/f noise which depends on the total thermometer volume. Comparison between noise measurements and theory will be presented.
