Improved technique for localizing electropolishing features novel nozzles

Impingement electropolishing is accomplished by use of an electrolyte film, which is evenly distributed by an insulated nozzle designed to match the contour of the workpiece to be treated. The workpiece is connected to the positive terminal of a generator and the nozzle to the negative terminal.

Microparticle impact sensor measures energy directly

Construction of a capacitor sensor consisting of a dielectric layer between two conductive surface layers and connected across a potential source through a sensing resistor permits measurement of energy of impinging particles without degradation of sensitivity. A measurable response is produced without penetration of the dielectric layer.

Gas diffuser facilitates withdrawal of cryogenic liquids from tanks

Compact, cylindrical gas diffuser with radial exhaust slots and internal axial flow channels maintains the necessary pressure for the desired withdrawal rate of cryogenic liquids from tanks. The diffuser minimizes pressure loss which results from condensation of nitrogen gas in the liquid and prevents direct impingement of gas jets on liquid surface to reduce turbulence.

Experiments shed new light on nickel-fluorine reactions

Isotopic tracer experiments and scale-impingement experiments show fluorine to be the migrating species through the nickel fluoride scale formed during the fluorination of nickel. This is in contrast to nickel oxide scales, where nickel is the migrating species.

Space-saving hoist for tank manholes

Working platform and collapsible basket facilitate entry of men with equipment into the overhead manhole of a deep tank. A winch and pulley rigging hold the basket which is suspended in the manhole. The basket is suspended at three points without the rig impinging on the area of the manhole.

Single-element coaxial injector for rocket fuel

Improved injector for oxygen difluoride and diborane has better mixing characteristics and is able to project fuel onto the wall of the combustion chamber for better cooling. It produces an essentially conical, diverging, continuous sheet of propellant mixture formed by similarly shaped and continuously impinging sheets of fuel and oxidant.
