Altitude chamber evaluation of an aircraft liquid hydrogen fuel system used with a turbojet engine

From Introduction: "The objective of this report are (1) to describe the complete fuel system, (2) to discuss the procedure used for transitions between JP-4 fuel and hydrogen, and (3) to present and discuss engine performance obtained with both fuels, and (4) to review the reliability of the fuel system."

Design and performance of flight-type liquid-hydrogen heat exchanger (open access)

Design and performance of flight-type liquid-hydrogen heat exchanger

Report presenting an investigation of a liquid-hydrogen fuel system developed to operate one of the turbojet engines in a twin-engine light bomber at an altitude of 50,000 feet and Mach number 0.75. The heat exchanger was evaluated in an altitude test chamber in conjunction with the complete aircraft fuel system. Results regarding calculated heat-exchanger performance, experimental heat-exchanger performance, and reliability are provided.

Design and Performance of Fuel Control for Aircraft Hydrogen Fuel System

Memorandum presenting the system analysis, design, and performance of a control system for an experimental flight-type hydrogen fuel system. The fuel system was designed to investigate some of the problems associated with the utilization of hydrogen as an aircraft fuel. Speed control of the engine was obtained by coupling the hydrogen regulator to the JP-4 fuel control.

Flight Investigation of a Liquid Hydrogen Fuel System

Memorandum presenting testing of a twin-engine light bomber modified to utilize hydrogen fuel in one of the two engines during flight at an altitude of 50,000 feet. Three completely successful flights were made using hydrogen fuel. Data are presented to show the effect of tank agitation on fuel pressure and fuel losses.

Transistorization of Nuclear Counting Circuits (open access)

Transistorization of Nuclear Counting Circuits

From Abstract: "The advantage of long operational life, low power drain and miniaturization may be realized in nuclear counting circuits through the use of transistors. The disadvantage of instability, due to the effects of temperature change in the transistor, may be minimized in counting circuit designs. Representative circuits of a binary stage, amplitude discriminator, one shot multivibrator, and ratemeters are included. These were designed using the criteria of an minimum Beta and a maximum Ico."
