Material Compatibility With Gaseous Fluorine (open access)

Material Compatibility With Gaseous Fluorine

Report presenting static tests on the compatibility of gaseous fluorine with various liquids, solid plastics, waxes, and greases at pressures of 0 and 1500 pounds per square inch gage and atmospheric temperature. Several materials were found to be compatible at atmospheric pressure, but only Teflon and ruby were compatible under static conditions at 1500 pounds per square inch gage.

Investigation of 70 percent trimethyl borate 30 percent methyl alcohol fuel mixture in a single J33 combustor and in a J33 turbojet engine (open access)

Investigation of 70 percent trimethyl borate 30 percent methyl alcohol fuel mixture in a single J33 combustor and in a J33 turbojet engine

Report presenting an experimental investigation on a single turbojet engine combustor and on a turbojet engine using a fuel mixture of 70 percent trimethyl borate and 30 percent methyl alcohol. Results regarding the single combustor's deposition, combustion efficiency, ignition, temperature distribution, pressure drop and the engine operation are provided.

Material compatibility with gaseous fluorine

Static tests on the compatibility of fluorine with non-metals at atmospheric temperature eliminated many materials from further consideration for use in fluorine systems. Several materials were found compatible at atmospheric pressures. Only Teflon and ruby (aluminum oxide) were compatible at 1500 pounds per square inch gage.

Analysis of efficiency characteristics of a single-stage turbine with downstream stators in terms of work and speed requirements (open access)

Analysis of efficiency characteristics of a single-stage turbine with downstream stators in terms of work and speed requirements

One-dimensional mean-section flow and blade specific losses proportional to average specific kinetic energy are assumed in the analysis. Range of the work-speed parameter lambda considered includes low to moderate blade speeds with high specific work outputs, where critical turbojet, turbopump, and accessory-drive turbines are encountered. A diffusion factor of 0.5 limits the loading on the downstream stators. Turbine efficiences considered are total or aerodynamic, rating, and static. Efficiences of velocity-diagram types at impulse and that corresponding to values of maximum efficiency are presented and compared to indicate in what range of lambda downstream stators are beneficial as well as the attending improvements in efficiency.
