The average heat of thermal-neutron induced fission of U235 has been measured by a differential calorimeter. The average energy per fission observed by the calorimeter was 170.1 ± 1.2 Mev. On the basis of the thicknesses of the calorimeter materials and the theoretical energy loss equation, the β energy per fission observed by the calorimeter is 3.0 ± 1 Mev. and, on the same basis, the γ and neutron energy observed is negligible. The resulting 167.1 ± 1.6 Mev. for the average kinetic energy of the fission products is shown to be in good agreement with less direct determinations of this quantity.

Abstract Isopiestic vapor pressure measurements and calorimetric determination of the heat of dilution have been performed and evaluated with respect to enthalpy, entropy and free enthalpy in the ternary solutions water+ glycin+ urea and water+ alanin + urea. The free enthalpy of transfer for the process: Amino acid from water to water+ urea, which can be derived from these measurements, does not agree with the value calculated from solubility measurements. The reason for this discrepancy and the values of entropy and enthalpy in terms of hydrophobic interaction are discussed. Supplementary measurements of the proton magnetic resonance in these solutions are included.

Within the 2-center shell model we present an explanation for the mass and total-kinetic-energy distributions of fission products of very heavy nuclei called “bimodal fission.” For the case of 258 FM we show that the symmetric fission can be described by a 2-dimensional treatment of the elongation and neck degree of freedom. Owing to shell corrections the system fissions via two decay channels that have distinct kinetic energies.

The performance of many fluid flow devices is limited by the separation of the turbulent boundary layer. This separation may be suppressed or delayed by use of wall jets, raising questions of jet location and strength. A numerical analysis of a single wall jet gave results in close agreement with experiment. The same analysis of a single wall jet gave results in close agreement with experiment. The same calculation procedure indicated that two sequential wall jets, with the same total kinetic energy flux as the single jet, would suppress separation under conditions where the single jet would not. The best two-jet arrangement would be achieved with 63 percent of the total kinetic energy flux in the first jet. It is possible that three-jet arrangements could provide some further improvement.
