Experimental investigation of hot-gas bleedback for ice protection of turbojet engines 2: nacelle with long straight air inlet

Report presenting aerodynamic and icing investigations conducted in the icing research tunnel on a model of a turbojet-engine nacelle with a long straight air inlet in order to provide basic design criteria for hot-gas blowback systems. The most uniform temperature distribution was obtained with a bleedback of 4.4 percent at a gas temperature of 1000 degrees Fahrenheit and resulted in an average dry-air-temperature rise of 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
