ABSTRACT:

Analysis of data from the fluid dynamics tests performed at Hydrocarbon Research, Inc., during Run PDU-10 was started. Data in the computer files were cross-checked with the original notebooks to verify accuracy.  Gamma-ray mass absorption coefficients for material in the PDU reactor were calculated using characterization of selected oil and catalyst samples. Battelle Institute began viscosity measurement of PDU reactor liquid samples. Northwestern University began shakedown of the 6'' diameter test stand. Model fluids were selected and charged to the unit.  Optical components were designed and assembly was started. (ERA citation 06:017914)
