Muscovite in the Spruce Pine District, North Carolina (open access)

Muscovite in the Spruce Pine District, North Carolina

From Abstract: "This report describes the occurrence of the mica and its physical properties among which is an unusually wide range of colors. A table is presented showing the results of power-factor measurements made by the National Bureau of Standards on 196 samples of sheet mica from 109 mica mines and 15 feldspar mines.It is concluded that more systematic planning of mica mining, for the district as a whole. would result in an average yearly production of at least 90,000 pounds of relatively clear sheet and possibly much more."

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."

Flight Tests of Modifications to Improve the Aileron Control Characteristics of a North American XP-51 Airplane (AC No. 41-38) (open access)

Flight Tests of Modifications to Improve the Aileron Control Characteristics of a North American XP-51 Airplane (AC No. 41-38)

Investigations were undertaken to improve the ailerons of a P-51 fighter so as to obtain greater effectiveness without increasing the stick forces. Modifications consisted of increasing the deflection range of the aileron to 70 percent and changing the original concave section to a thick section with beveled trailing edge. Results of the modified ailerons showed an increase in effectiveness over the original aileron of 70 percent at low speed and 55 percent at high speeds.

On a New Method for Calculating the Potential Flow Past a Body of Revolution (open access)

On a New Method for Calculating the Potential Flow Past a Body of Revolution

Report presenting a new method for obtaining the velocity potential of the flow about a solid of revolution moving uniformly in the direction of its axis of symmetry in a fluid otherwise at rest. The method is based essentially on the fact that the form of the differential equation for the velocity potential is invariant with regard to conformal transformations in a meridian plane. The general results are applied to a body of revolution obtained by revolving a symmetrical Joukowski profile about its axis of symmetry.

The effect of exhaust-stack shape on the design and performance of the individual cylinder exhaust-gas jet-propulsion system (open access)

The effect of exhaust-stack shape on the design and performance of the individual cylinder exhaust-gas jet-propulsion system

Report presenting tests on a single-cylinder, air-cooled engine to determine the effect of several different exhaust-stack shapes on the design and performance of the individual cylinder exhaust-gas jet-propulsion systems. Results regarding the effect of nozzle area and stack shape on exhaust-gas jet thrust, effect of nozzle area and stack shape on overall performance for the S-shape, the 90 degree bend, and the 180 degree bend, the effect on the shape on engine power and volumetric efficiency, and the effect of a branched stack on engine power 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.
