...clock: If you really want to overdo the whole business, get up at this auroral hour and visit Professor Arthur Casagrande in Pierce 110. He'll tell you all about Seepage and Ground Water Flow in Engineering...
...Pipe. Another system is to mount the nozzle at the end of a large, flexible coupling so it can switch from side to side like the combustion chamber of a liquid-fuel rocket. This is extremely difficult because the flexible pipe must carry the giant flow of hot, high-speed, high-pressure gas without leaking or burning out. But Ritchey implied that it can be done in an efficient way that causes little drag loss...
...guidance and control purposes, solid-fuel rockets are normally loaded with fuel to full capacity. Thus when one of them is fired at a target short of the maximum range, something must be done to cut off or slow the thrust when the rocket reaches the necessary speed. The flow of liquid fuels can be controlled by valves or pumps. Comparable control can be achieved with solids, said Ritchey, by opening small apertures upstream from the nozzle. The gas that leaks out through them reduces the pressure in the combustion chamber, and the thrust falls...
...ounce of radioactive polonium 210 encased in a molybdenum capsule. The polonium's entrapped radiation heats the capsule to above 700° F. Arranged around it like the spokes of a wheel are 20 thermocouples made of lead telluride. When their ends are heated by the capsule, a flow of electrons is set up in the thermocouples, producing an electric current. At peak power, SNAP III can turn out five watts. Before most of its polonium (half life: 140 days) is exhausted, SNAP III will generate as much current as 1,450 lbs. of the best chemical batteries available...
...whole man. They showed that Tom's stomach, when he was at ease, was pale pink and relaxed, with many convoluted folds, but bright red, smooth and tense when he became angry. Fright turned both Tom's face and his stomach pale. By shutting off the flow of gastric juices, depression made his stomach almost incapable of digesting food. Anxiety was the most stomach-damaging emotion, clearly linked with the formation of ulcers...
