Correlation of laboratory smoke test with carbon deposition in turbojet combustors (open access)

Correlation of laboratory smoke test with carbon deposition in turbojet combustors

Report presenting a correlation of carbon deposition of 19 fuels in a turbojet combustor as a function of the boiling point and of the flame height at the sooting point of the fuels in a simple wick lamp for a particular combustor operating at a single set of conditions. Two similar investigations with different combustors, operating conditions, and nine different fuels yielded similar correlations on the same graph.

Effects of leading-edge radius and maximum thickness-chord ratio on the variation with Mach number of the aerodynamic characteristics of several thin NACA airfoil sections (open access)

Effects of leading-edge radius and maximum thickness-chord ratio on the variation with Mach number of the aerodynamic characteristics of several thin NACA airfoil sections

Report presenting a wind-tunnel investigation to determine the effects of leading-edge radius and maximum thickness-chord ratio on the variation with Mach number of the aerodynamic characteristics of several thin symmetrical NACA 4-digit-series airfoil sections. The variations with Mach number of the lift, drag, and pitching moment for a 4-percent-chord-thick airfoil section are not significantly affected by a change of leading-edge radius from 0.18 to 0.53 percent of the chord. Results regarding the leading-edge radius effects and maximum thickness-chord ratio are provided.

Properties of Low-Carbon N-155 Alloy Bar Stock From 1200 to 1800 Degrees Fahrenheit (open access)

Properties of Low-Carbon N-155 Alloy Bar Stock From 1200 to 1800 Degrees Fahrenheit

Memorandum presenting the results of an investigation to establish rupture and total-deformation strengths at 1200 and 1800 degrees Fahrenheit for typical commercial treatments of low-carbon N-155 alloy. The results show that there were large differences in strength between the heats of bar stock at temperatures above 1200 degrees Fahrenheit except when a 2200 degree Fahrenheit solution treatment was used.
