    Description: High-resolution ultraviolet spectra of the moderate supergiant Alpha Per (F5 Ib) were studied to determine the dynamic state of its upper photosphere. It was found that the line-of-sight microturbulent velocity component in the region of origin of the UV spectrum is about 5 km/s, and is slightly smaller than the value derived from the visual spectrum. This is ascribed to dissipation of mechanical energy between the higher and lower layers where, respectively, the ultraviolet and visual light lines originate. Between these two levels, which are one scale height apart, the mechanical energy flux decreases to about 0.3 of its photospheric value. The consequent value for the (outward directed) turbulent acceleration is 24 cm/sec-squared, more than one half the observationally determined effective acceleration of gravity.

    Description: Observations of CO and H I revealed that in Ursa Major the high-latitude far-infrared 'cirrus' emission discovered by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite comes from molecular and atomic clouds. These clouds differ sufficiently from the large clouds in the Galactic plane so that the ratio of H2 column density to velocity-integrated CO radiation temperature, N(H2)/W(CO), derived from Galactic plane surveys, may not apply to them. On the assumption of a constant gas-to-dust ratio, it is argued that the cirrus emission in Ursa Major is a good mass tracer, since both the atomic and the molecular gas are probably optically thin at visual wavelengths, and the grains are heated not by local sources but by the background field of Galactic starlight. The N(H2)/W(CO) ratio thus derived for those diffuse clouds, is significantly lower than the ratio applicable to Galactic plane surveys.

    Description: Integrated and individual-star observations of 47 Tuc obtained at 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns by IRAS are reported. The data are presented in tables and brightness contour maps and analyzed. Features discussed include integrated light dominated by stellar photospheric emission, 12- and 25-micron excesses (associated with red giants in the outer region of the cluster), and a small excess at 100 microns (attributed to integrated-light heating of about 0.0003 solar mass of silicate dust within 6 arcmin of the cluster center). It is pointed out that this is much less dust than predicted by theoretical models of accumulation since the cluster passed through the Galactic plane about 30 Myr ago, and possible dust-removal mechanisms are considered.

    Description: The 72 IUE spectra of Alpha Cam and 19 IUE spectra of Kappa Cas, obtained during 72 hours of continuous IUE time in September 1978 were searched for variations in the profiles of the resonance lines of Si IV, C IV, and N V, and the results are discussed. The UV resonance lines in the spectra of Alpha Cam showed variations at the 2 percent level near -1800, -700, and +700 km/s. The first two variations can be explained by absorption components of outward-accelerated blobs or shells with an average acceleration of 1.5 cm/sq s. The characteristics of the blobs and shells are discussed, including the column densities and masses. No variations were found in the spectra of Kappa Cas.

    Description: The present work reports a detailed investigation of air-liquid interaction in sprays along with particle number density and mass flux measurements in complex turbulent flows such as those present in gas turbines and rocket combustors. Data have been obtained for the characterization of sprays in complex flows which include detailed drop size and drop velocity distributions, size-velocity correlations, mass flux, and particle number density. Key factors affecting the measurement of the sample volume size are discussed in detail since an accurate estimation of it is essential to the particle number density and volume flux determined by the instrument. The discrimination of refraction and reflective scattering components and their influence on the measurements are also discussed. Data comparing the phase Doppler results to alternate methods of measuring number density and volume flux are also presented. These results showed agreement to within 15 percent in most cases for realistic flow configurations.

    Description: Observations of clouds in the ISM of the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds, obtained with the IUE satellite since its launch in 1978, are reviewed. Consideration is given to the techniques used to analyze IUE Maxwellian growth curves and oscillator strengths, the general structure of the Galactic ISM, the high-velocity clouds, heavy-element depletion, and observations toward strongly reddened stars in the outer portions of dark clouds. Theoretical models of interstellar dust formation and selective and nonselective removal of elements from dust grains are discussed; observations of reflection nebulae and their implications for light scattering by dust are examined; the dynamics and ionization structure of the Galactic halo ISM are described; and the Magellanic Cloud observations are briefly characterized. Diagrams, graphs, and tables of numerical data are provided.

    Description: Wind tunnels typically have higher free stream turbulence levels than are found in flight. Turbulence intensity was measured to be 0.5 percent in the NASA Lewis Icing Research Tunnel (IRT) with the cloud making sprays off and around 2 percent with cloud making equipment on. Turbulence intensity for flight conditions was found to be too low to make meaningful measurements for smooth air. This difference between free stream and wind tunnel conditions has raised questions as to the validity of results obtained in the IRT. One objective of these tests was to determine the effect of free stream turbulence on convective heat transfer for the NASA Lewis LEWICE ice growth prediction code. These tests provide in-flight heat transfer data for a NASA-0012 airfoil with a 533 cm chord. Future tests will measure heat transfer data from the same airfoil in the Lewis Icing Research Tunnel. Roughness was obtained by the attachment of small, 2 mm diameter hemispheres of uniform size to the airfoil in three different patterns. Heat transfer measurements were recorded in flight on the NASA Lewis Twin Otter Icing Research Aircraft. Measurements were taken for the smooth and roughened surfaces at various aircraft speeds and angles of attack up to four degrees. Results are presented as Frossling number versus position on the airfoil for various roughnesses and angles of attack.

    Description: In this paper, a new approach to calculate the transient thermal behavior of an iced electrothermal de-icer pad was developed. The method of splines was used to obtain the temperature distribution within the layered pad. Splines were used in order to create a tridiagonal system of equations that could be directly solved by Gauss elimination. The Stefan problem was solved using the enthalpy method along with a recent implicit technique. Only one to three iterations were needed to locate the melt front during any time step. Computational times were shown to be greatly reduced over those of an existing one dimensional procedure without any reduction in accuracy; the curent technique was more than 10 times faster.

    Description: The rotational-torsional spectrum of (C-13)H3OH is presented in both the symmetric and degenerate substates of the first two excited torsional states. Of the new transitions reported, 122 lines are from the v(t) = 1 torsional state and 110 lines are from the v(t) = 2 torsional state, and all are confined to the rotational quantum number J = 8 or less. The data are combined with previously reported millimeter and submillimeter data for the v(t) = 0 torsional state and 44 previously measured excited torsional state lines to form a global data set of 596 transitions, which is analyzed and fitted using an extended internal axis method. The fit results in an overall rms deviation of 1.98 MHz. The spectral constants generated by the fit are used to predict an additional 123 lines of (C-13)H3OH in the v(t) = 1,2 excited torsional states with frequencies up to 612 GHz and rotational quantum number J = 11 or less.
