Flow coefficients of monosleeve valves (open access)

Flow coefficients of monosleeve valves

The flow coefficients of the intake and the exhaust ports of a sleeve-valve cylinder were measured by attaching the cylinder to a large tank and measuring the changes in pressure and temperature in the tank that were caused by short periods of air flow through the valve ports. The derivation of the equations on which the flow coefficients are based is given. The distribution of total pressure in the arms of the sleeve-valve intake manifold was measured. The arms are found to have as little as 75 percent of the total pressure within the manifold entrance.

An Investigation of the Prevention of Ice on the Airplane Windshield (open access)

An Investigation of the Prevention of Ice on the Airplane Windshield

"An investigation of three methods for the prevention and the removal of ice on an airplane windshield has been completed. The methods were: electric heating; hot-air heating; and an alcohol-dispensing, rotating wiper blade. The results showed that vision through the airplane windshield could be maintained during severe icing conditions by the use of heat" (p. 1).

A theoretical study of lateral stability with an automatic pilot (open access)

A theoretical study of lateral stability with an automatic pilot

"The influence of automatic operation of the aileron and rudder controls on the lateral stability of an airplane is discussed. The control deflections are assumed to be proportional to the deviations and to the rates of deviation of the airplane from steady-flight conditions. The effects of changes in the types of deviation governing control application are considered. For one simple method of control in which the aileron deflection is proportional to the angle of bank and the rudder deflection is proportional to the angle of yaw, the effect of lag in control application is studied and regions of stability with and without lag are given" (p. 273).

Structural Tests of a Stainless Steel Wing Panel by Hydrostatic Loading (open access)

Structural Tests of a Stainless Steel Wing Panel by Hydrostatic Loading

Note presenting testing of a simplified type of all-metal wing construction of 18-8, spot-welded except for skin attachment, by means of hydrostatic loading, the wing being proportioned to permit close representation of typical conditions by means of the waterhead. The results showed the possibility of eliminating almost all of the stiffeners from a stressed-skin wing, the possible reduction of weight in a lightly loaded wing and of substantial cost in the construction of any all-metal wing.

DFS Dive-Control Brakes for Gliders and Airplanes and Analytical Study of the Drag of the DFS Dive-Control Brake (open access)

DFS Dive-Control Brakes for Gliders and Airplanes and Analytical Study of the Drag of the DFS Dive-Control Brake

These two reports are surveys on the progress and present state of development of dive-control flaps for gliders and airplanes. The second article describes how on the basis of wind tunnel and free-flight tests, the drag increase on brake flaps of the type DFS, can be predicted. Pressure records confirm a two-dimensional load distribution along the brake-flap surface.

Mechanical Concentration of Gases (open access)

Mechanical Concentration of Gases

From Introduction: "This bulletin deals with a new mechanical means of attacking the problem of separation. Although it is improbable that any one type of separation could hope to find universal application, the method described is to be regarded as an alternative to conventional means that has attractive possibilities in certain instances."

Flight Tests of Exhaust Gas Jet Propulsion, Special Report (open access)

Flight Tests of Exhaust Gas Jet Propulsion, Special Report

"Flight tests were conducted on the XP-41 airplane, equipped with a Pratt & Whitney R1830-19, 14-cylinder, air-cooled engine, to determine the increase in flight speed obtainable by the use of individual exhaust stacks directed rearwardly to obtain exhaust-gas thrust. Speed increases up to 18 miles per hour at 20,000 feet altitude were obtained using stacks having an exit area of 3.42 square inches for each cylinder. A slight increase in engine power and decrease in cylinder temperature at a given manifold pressure were obtained with the individual stacks as compared with a collector-ring installation" (p. 1).

Mechanical Shoveling in Underground Metal Mines

From Scope of Bulletin: "The object of the current bulletin is to present recent data on mechanical shoveling in underground metal mines and in selected nonmetal mines. This bulletin supplements the 1924 edition, but the main discussion covers mechanical shoveling only, because most of the new material relates to equipment recently developed, to improved technique in loading, and ti changes in loading practice in certain mining districts."
