Thermodynamic Properties of the Internal Rotator. Double Minimum with Attractive Forces
(The American Institute of Physics, 1948-06)
A previously outlined general method of calculating thermodynamic properties for an unsymmetrical internal rotation is applied to a double minimum with attractive forces, for which the potential energy has two maxima at ...
Thermodynamic Properties of the Internal Rotator. Double Minimum with Repulsive Forces
(The American Institute of Physics, 1948-04)
The basis for calculating the thermodynamic properties of the unsymmetrical internal rotator from energy levels derived from the old quantum theory is described, and a method is outlined for calculations with a potential ...
A Microflash Unit for Ballistic Photography
(The American Institute of Physics, 1948-03)
A flash unit has been developed for photographing large projectiles in flight. The light source combines high intensity with short duration. Details of the geometry and processing of the lamp are given, together with a ...
The Head‐On Collision of a Shock Wave and a Rarefaction Wave in One Dimension
(The American Institute of Physics, 1948-04)
A procedure for investigating the strengthening of a shock which collides head‐on with a rarefaction wave is suggested and is carried through for the case in which the entropy jump across the shock is small enough to be ...
