Novel dielectric reduces corona breakdown in ac capacitors
Dielectric system was developed which consists of two layers of 25-gage paper separated by one layer of 50-gage polypropylene to reduce corona breakdown in ac capacitors. System can be used in any alternating current application where constant voltage does not exceed 400 V rms. With a little research it could probably be increased to 700 to 800 V rms.

Vortex equations: Singularities, numerical solution, and axisymmetric vortex breakdown
A method of weighted residuals for the computation of rotationally symmetric quasi-cylindrical viscous incompressible vortex flow is presented and used to compute a wide variety of vortex flows. The method approximates the axial velocity and circulation profiles by series of exponentials having (N + 1) and N free parameters, respectively. Formal integration results in a set of (2N + 1) ordinary differential equations for the free parameters. The governing equations are shown to have an infinite number of discrete singularities corresponding to critical values of the swirl parameters. The computations point to the controlling influence of the inner core flow on vortex behavior. They also confirm the existence of two particular critical swirl parameter values: one separates vortex flow which decays smoothly from vortex flow which eventually breaks down, and the second is the first singularity of the quasi-cylindrical system, at which point physical vortex breakdown is thought to occur.

An interlaboratory comparison of piston-cylinder pressure calibration using the albite-breakdown reaction.
An attempt is made to compare pressure calibration methods among several laboratories in an unbiased way to produce some indication of the bandwidth of observations on the pressure of an equilibrium reaction where sources of discrepancy not resulting from pressure calibration are likely to have been eliminated. The reaction chosen is the breakdown of albite to jadeite and quartz under pressure.
