An Improved Continuous-Indicating Dew-Point Meter (open access)

An Improved Continuous-Indicating Dew-Point Meter

Note presenting the development of a continuous-indicating dew-point meter that automatically maintains a mirror surface at the dew point.

Effects of Mach Number and Reynolds Number on the Maximum Lift Coefficient of a Wing of NACA 230-Series Airfoil Sections (open access)

Effects of Mach Number and Reynolds Number on the Maximum Lift Coefficient of a Wing of NACA 230-Series Airfoil Sections

Wing was tested with full-span, partial-span, or split flaps deflected 60 Degrees and without flaps. Chordwise pressure-distribution measurements were made for all flap configurations.. Peak values of maximum lift coefficient were obtained at relatively low free-stream Mach numbers and, before critical Mach number was reached, were almost entirely dependent on Reynolds Number. Lift coefficient increased by increasing Mach number or deflecting flaps while critical pressure coefficient was reached at lower free-stream Mach numbers.

Spark-Timing Control Based on Correlation of Maximum-Economy Spark Timing, Flame-Front Travel, and Cylinder Pressure Rise (open access)

Spark-Timing Control Based on Correlation of Maximum-Economy Spark Timing, Flame-Front Travel, and Cylinder Pressure Rise

Note presenting an investigation conducted on a full-scale air-cooled cylinder in order to establish an effective means of maintaining maximum-economy spark timing with varying engine operating conditions. Variable fuel-air ratio runs were conducted in which relations were determined between the spark timing and basic factors in engine operation, flame-front travel, and cylinder pressure rise. An instrument for controlling spark timing was developed that automatically maintained maximum-economy spark timing with varying engine operating conditions.
