A method for determining the rate of heat transfer from a wing or streamline body (open access)

A method for determining the rate of heat transfer from a wing or streamline body

From Summary: "A method for calculating the rate of heat transfer from the surface of an airfoil or streamline body is presented. A comparison with the results of an experimental investigation indicates that the accuracy of the method is good. This method may be used to calculate the heat supply necessary for heat de-icing or in ascertaining the heat loss from the fuselage of an aircraft operating at great altitude, for example."

Tests of a Thermal Ice-Prevention System for a Wing Leading-Edge Landing-Light Installation (open access)

Tests of a Thermal Ice-Prevention System for a Wing Leading-Edge Landing-Light Installation

Report discussing the creation of a thermal ice-prevention system of a bomber-type airplane to provide protection against ice and fog formations on the transparent fairing over the landing light in the wing leading edge. A comparison between the design performance and actual performance showed that the outer-surface heat-transfer coefficient was correctly predicted, but the inner-surface heat-transfer coefficient was four times as large, leading to failure of the plastic fairing.

Performance of an exhaust-gas "blowdown" turbine on a nine-cylinder radial engine (open access)

Performance of an exhaust-gas "blowdown" turbine on a nine-cylinder radial engine

Report presenting tests on an exhaust-gas turbine with four separate nozzle boxes each covering a 90 degree arc of the nozzle diaphragm and each connected to a pair of adjacent cylinders in a Pratt & Whitney R-1340-12 nine-cylinder radial engine. Results regarding the power output of the engine and turbine, effect of the turbine on engine power, turbine power output and speed characteristics, mean turbine efficiency, effect of the blowdown turbine on exhaust-gas temperature, and condition of the blowdown turbine after tests are provided.

A method for calculating heat transfer in the laminar flow region of bodies (open access)

A method for calculating heat transfer in the laminar flow region of bodies

Report presenting a practical method for determining the chordwise distribution of the rate of heat transfer from the surface of a wing or body of revolution to air. The method is limited to use to the determination of heat transfer fro the forward section of such bodies when the flow is laminar.

Wall interference in a two-dimensional-flow wind tunnel with consideration of the effect of compressibility (open access)

Wall interference in a two-dimensional-flow wind tunnel with consideration of the effect of compressibility

Report presenting tunnel-wall corrections for an airfoil of finite thickness and camber in a two-dimensional-flow wind tunnel. The theory takes account of the effects of the wake of the airfoil and of the compressibility of the fluid and is based on the assumption that the chord of the airfoil is small in comparison with the height of the tunnel. The theoretical results are compared with the small amount of low-speed experimental data available and agreement is seen to be satisfactory, even for relatively large values of the chord-height ratio.

The Calculation of Span Load Distributions of Swept-Back Wings (open access)

The Calculation of Span Load Distributions of Swept-Back Wings

"Span load distributions of swept-back wings have been calculated. The method used was to replace the wing with a bound vortex at the quarter-chord line and to calculate the downwash due to the system of bound and trailing vortices to conform at the three-quarter-chord line to the slope of the flat-plate wing surface. Results are given for constant-chord and 5:1 tapered plan forms, for sweep-back angles of 0 degrees, 30 degrees, and 45 degrees, and for aspect ratios of 3, 6, and 9" (p. 1).

[BASEMENT BOX 67.0625]

Photograph of the remains of a building on the main street in Binger, OK. The roof is missing, the front windows are gone, and the side of the structure has begun to fall down. Smoke is still rising from the remains. Photograph was taken in the night time. Caption: "A sudden blaze which for a time Tuesday night threatened the entire town of Binger before its populace fought the fire and saved other buildings. left a general store and theater only a shell of blackened ruins."
