Preliminary Results of Natural Icing of an Axial-Flow Turbojet Engine (open access)

Preliminary Results of Natural Icing of an Axial-Flow Turbojet Engine

Memorandum presenting a flight investigation in natural icing conditions to determine the effect of ice formations on the performance of an axial-flow turbojet engine. Tail-pipe temperature increased from 761 to 1065 degrees Fahrenheit and the jet thrust decreased from 1234 to 910 pounds during a period of 45 minutes in icing. No general conclusions can be reached from the data because the icing condition was relatively light.

Separation of Tuballoy From Tantalum by Chlorination Distillation Process (open access)

Separation of Tuballoy From Tantalum by Chlorination Distillation Process

Abstract: Tuballoy can be effectively separated from tantalum filaments by chlorination of the filaments and subsequent distillation and condensation of tantalum chloride. Apparatus for chlorination of filaments and distillation separation in one unit is under consideration. Chemical methods of separation of tuballoy from distillation residues are being tested.

Stability of Florothene Under Exposure to Gamma Radiation (open access)

Stability of Florothene Under Exposure to Gamma Radiation

The stability of fluorothene (polytrifluorochloroethylene, Kel-F) to gamma radiation has been investigated to estimate the probable life expectancy of fluorothene equipment exposed to Purex process solutions. Samples of fluorothene were exposed to total gamma radiation dosages up to 10 degree R. The results of these tests substantiate the findings reported by Sisman and Bopp in their compilation of data on the affects of radiation on plastics.

Experimental Static Aerodynamic Forces and Moments at Low Speed on a Canard Missle During Simulated Launching From the Midsemispan and Wing-Tip Locations of a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing-Fuselage Combination

Report presenting an investigation at low speed to determine the static aerodynamic forces and moments on a canard missile model during launching from the midsemispan and wing-tip locations of a wing-fuselage combination with a 45 degree sweptback wing. When the missile was mounted under the wing at the midsemispan location, changes in chordwise position produced large changes in missile forces and moments.

The Effect of Radiation on the Corrosion of Metals by Water (open access)

The Effect of Radiation on the Corrosion of Metals by Water

Technical report. Long-time tests have been made on the effect of various types of radiation on the corrosion of 2S aluminum in simulated W water. In no case was any acceleration of corrosion by the radiation observed; the effect of radiation, if any, appeared to be a protective one. Deuteron irradiation did accelerate the corrosion of mild steel at low flow rates in hot water of pH 6 to 7, but no appreciable effect was observed with copper, stainless steel, or tuballoy. The general theory of the effect of radiation on corrosion is discussed, with the conclusion that no acceleration of corrosion by radiation is to be expected in most cases of practical interest.

The Effect of Blade-Section Camber on the Stall-Flutter Characteristics of Three NACA Propellers at Zero Advance (open access)

The Effect of Blade-Section Camber on the Stall-Flutter Characteristics of Three NACA Propellers at Zero Advance

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of blade-section camber on the stall-flutter characteristics of three propellers using a 6000-horsepower propeller dynamometer. Up to a certain blade angle, there was an increase in flutter-speed coefficient with an increase in blade-section design lift coefficient. An increase in thrust was found to lead to an increase in tip Mach number in the flutter region of the propeller blades.

Flight and Preflight Tests of a Ram Jet Burning Magnesium Slurry Fuel and Utilizing a Solid-Propellant Gas Generator for Fuel Expulsion (open access)

Flight and Preflight Tests of a Ram Jet Burning Magnesium Slurry Fuel and Utilizing a Solid-Propellant Gas Generator for Fuel Expulsion

Data obtained from the first flight test of a ram jet utilizing a magnesium slurry fuel are presented. The ram jet accelerated from a Mach number of 1.75 to a Mach number of 3.48 in 15.5 seconds. During this period a maximum values of air specific impulse and gross thrust coefficient were calculated to be 151 seconds and 0.658, respectively. The rocket gas generator used as a fuel-pumping system operated successfully.

Report presenting lift and drag data obtained during the Douglas X-3 airplane. The data covered the Mach number range from 0.82 to 1.20 with considerable variation in lift. A comparison of the flight data with data from wind-tunnel and rocket-model tests shows that the model tests adequately predict the performance of the airplane.

Effect of channel geometry on the quenching of laminar flames

Report presenting the effect of channel geometry on flame quenching, as calculated on the basis of average active particle chain lengths, is related among six different geometries: plane parallel plates of infinite extent, cylindrical tubes, rectangular slots, cylindrical annuli, and tubes of elliptical and equilaterally triangular shape. The results indicated that the observed variation of flame quenching as a function of quenching geometry may be successfully predicted for a range of pressures and for rich as well as lean propane-air flames.

Investigation of Pressure Recovery of a Single-Conical-Shock Nose Inlet at Mach Number 5.4

An experimental investigation of the performance of a single-conical-shock diffuser was conducted at a Mach number of 5.4 and a Reynolds number based on model diameter of 375,000. Total-pressure recoveries of 13.7 and 13.1 percent were obtained at angles of attack of 0 degrees and 3 degrees, respectively. The corresponding kinetic energy efficiencies were 86.4 percent at an angle of attack of 0 degrees and 86.0 percent at an angle of attack of 3 degrees.
