Altitude-wind-tunnel investigation of operational characteristics of Westinghouse X24C-4B axial flow turbojet engine (open access)

Altitude-wind-tunnel investigation of operational characteristics of Westinghouse X24C-4B axial flow turbojet engine

From Summary: "An investigation has been conducted in the NACA Cleveland altitude wind tunnel to evaluate the operational characteristics of a 3000-pound-thrust axial-flow turbojet engine over a range of simulated altitudes from 2000 to 50,000 feet and simulated flight Mach numbers from 0 to 1.04 throughout the operable range of engine speeds. Operational characteristics investigated include engine operating range, acceleration, deceleration, starting, altitude and flight-Mach-number compensation of the fuel-control system, and operation of the lubrication system at high and low ambient-air temperatures."

Altitude-Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Performance of Several Propellers on YP-47M Airplane at High Blade Loading 2 - Curtiss 838-1C2-18R1 Four-Blade Propeller (open access)

Altitude-Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Performance of Several Propellers on YP-47M Airplane at High Blade Loading 2 - Curtiss 838-1C2-18R1 Four-Blade Propeller

"An investigation was conducted in the Cleveland altitude wind tunnel to determine the performance of a Curtiss propeller with four 838-1C2-1SR1 blades on a YP-47M airplane at high blade loadings and engine powers. The study was made for a range of power coefficients between 0.30 and 1.00 at free-stream Mach numbers of 0.40 and 0.50. The results of the force measurements indicate primarily the trend of propeller efficiency for changes in power coefficient or advance-diameter ratio, inasmuch as corrections for the effects of tunnel-wall constriction on the installation have not been applied" (p. 1).

Altitude-wind-tunnel investigation of several afterburner configurations having moderately high burner-inlet velocities

From Introduction: "The screech investigation, reported in reference 1, included a large number of afterburner configurations. Several of these configurations are presented herein to show the effects of afterburner-inlet gas whirl pattern, flame-holder design, and fuel distribution on performance as determined by combustion efficiency, augmented thrust ratio, and special fuel consumption."

Altitude-Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Westinghouse 19B-2 19B-8, and 19XB-1 Jet-Propulsion Engines, Part 1, Operational Characteristics

From Summary: "An investigation was conducted in the NACA Cleveland altitude wind tunnel to determine the operational characteristics of the Westinghouse 19B-2, 19B-8, and 19XB-l jet-propulsion engines. The 19B engine is one of the earliest experimental Westinghouse axial flow engines. The 19XB-1 engine is an experimental prototype of the Westinghouse 15 series, having a rated thrust of 1400 pounds. Improvements in performance and operational characteristics have resulted in the 19XB-2B engine with a rated thrust of 1600 pounds. The operational characteristics were determined over a range of simulated altitudes from 5000 to 30,000 feet for the 19B engines and from 5000 to 35000 feet for the 19XB-l engine at airspeed from 20 to 380 miles per hour."

Analog Stimulation of HRP In-Pile Slurry Loop Facility in the LITR

An analog simulation is made of the HRP in-pile slurry loop in the LITR. The radiolytic gas pressure in the pressurizer is determined. This pressure is a result of the generation of radiolytic gas in the loop core. A graphical result is obtained showing the effect of catalyst activity and pressurizer flow rate on the pressure rise from radiolytic gas. The thermal behavior of the system is studied, and the response to various controller settings is predicted. Controller settings very near optimum for the actual process were recommended from the analog study,

Analysis and Construction of Design Charts for Turbines with Downstream Stators

From Introduction: "This paper describes the theoretical treatment that has been given the combustion process as it occurs in turbojet combustors. Various parts of this work have been previously published (refs. 1 to 3); this report presents a brief summary of this previous work together with new data which amplify the conclusions of references 1 to 3. Similar studies have been made of the ram-jet combustion process (ref. 4 and 5); however, the analysis for ram-jet combustion differs in some details and is therefore not included herein."

Analysis and Experimental Observation of Pressure Losses in Ram-Jet Combustion Chambers

From Introduction: "Some experimental data on flame-holder pressure losses have been presented (reference 1 to 4). A theoretical analysis that assume a sudden enlargement of flow area was made at the NACA Lewis laboratory to determine the effect of flame-holder open area and combustion-chamber-inlet Mach number on the pressure losses across flame holders. The results of this analysis were then compared with experimental data obtained with several different flame-holder designs."

Analysis of effect of basic design variables on subsonic axial-flow-compressor performance

From Summary: "A blade-element theory for axial-flow compressors has been developed and applied to the analysis of the effects of basic design variables such as Mach number, blade loading, and velocity distribution on compressor performance. The relations among several efficiencies useful in compressor design are derived and discussed. The possible gains in useful operating range obtainable by the use of adjustable stator blades are discussed and a rapid approximate method of calculating blade-angle resettings is shown by an example."

Analysis of Effects of Inlet Pressure Losses on Performance of Axial-Flow Type Turbojet Engine

From Introduction: "An analytical evaluation of the effects of inlet losses on the net thrust and the fuel economy of an axial-flow-compressor type turbojet engine with a two-stage turbine is presented herein. The analysis is based on engine performance characteristics that were determined from experiments in the NACA Cleveland altitude wind tunnel (references 1 and 2). The experimental investigation did not include tests in which inlet losses were systematically varied, but the effects of these losses can be accurately estimated from the experimentally determined performance characteristics of the engine."

Analysis of Mixtures of Alcohols by Acylation

From abstract: "Recently a general chemical method for the analysis of mixtures of alcohols appeared, using pyridine catalyzed acetylation and second order kinetics to determine the amount of the faster reacting component. The use of 0.25M isobutyric anhydride in pyridine containing 0.0025M perchloric acid as catalyst promotes the rate of the reaction and diminishes the time necessary to perform an analysis. A mathematical treatment of the data and kinetic plot reduces the number of kinetic points to only four or five. The mixtures are primarily composed of isomers."
