White To Present Propulsion Paper At ARS Meeting

William D. (Bill) White, Chemi­.cal Engineer with UOD's Propul­sion Division, leaves shortly for Washington, D. C. to attend the American Rocket Society's 15th An­nual Meeting and Astronautical Ex­position where he is scheduled to present a paper on December 8.

White is one of two NOTS m en to speak at the ARS meeting, the other being Edward W. Price of China Lake who will present a paper on "Combustion Instability in Solid Propellant Rockets."

"Lithium and Sodium as Water­Reactive Fuels fo r Underwater Propulsion" will be the subject of White's paper. "This concept is not entirely new," states White, "be~

cause as early as 1865, .Jules Verne in his famous novel '20,000 Leagues Under The Sea,' referred to the use of sodium as the fuel which powered h is f ictional submarine Nautilus."

Conducting experimental inves~i­gations, membe rs of the Propulsion Division at NOTS Pasadena aimed their work at developing ways and means of handling and reacting molten sodium and lithium with sea water to produce a working fluid of high temperature and pres­snre which could drive a gas tur­bine for underwater propulsion.

The techniques for handling and burning sodium and lithium with wate r were worked out and a com· bustion chamber was developed which operated for three minutes at 95 percent combustion efficiency and about 1000 degrees Farenheit. The results of these experiments will be presented at the meeting.

A gra duate of Ohio University with a B.S. d egree in chemistry, IWhite has been with NOTS Pasa­dena 12 years. He was with the firs t Junior Professional Program con­ducted here. H e has headed the Thermodynamics Branch since 1956, and is the author of numerous papers including NavOrd Reports.
