Investigation of turbines suitable for use in a turbojet engine with high compressor pressure ratio and low compressor-tip speed 3: velocity-diagram study of two-stage and downstream-stator turbines for engine operation at constant rotative speed (open access)

Investigation of turbines suitable for use in a turbojet engine with high compressor pressure ratio and low compressor-tip speed 3: velocity-diagram study of two-stage and downstream-stator turbines for engine operation at constant rotative speed

Report presenting the use of a simplified method of analysis in order to relate the turbine operations for take-off and cruise at rotative speed. This allows turbine velocity diagrams to consider both take-off and cruising operation. Results regarding the two-stage turbine design and the downstream-stator turbine design are provided.

Performance of pure fuels in a single J33 combustor 1: five liquid hydrocarbon fuels (open access)

Performance of pure fuels in a single J33 combustor 1: five liquid hydrocarbon fuels

Report presenting an investigation of several pure hydrocarbon fuels in a single tubular-type combustor in order to determine possible relations between combustor performance and fuel properties. The combustor temperature rise, combustion efficiency, and blow-out limits were determined with five liquid hydrocarbon fuels of high purity over a range of heat input and air-flow rates and at two inlet-air-temperature conditions. Performance parameters were selected to compare with the physical and fundamental combustion properties of the fuel.
