Analytical comparison of turbine-blade cooling systems designed for a turbojet engine operating at supersonic speed and high altitude 2: air-cooling systems

Report presenting an investigation of the influence of high-altitude supersonic flight on the operation and effectiveness of turbine-blade air- and liquid-cooling systems for turbojet application in guided missiles and supersonic interceptor aircraft. Results regarding the coolant passage heat-transfer-coefficients, nonrefrigerated air-cooling-system characteristics, and refrigerated-air-cooling-system characteristics are provided.

Summary Report on Analytical Evaluation of Air and Fuel Specific-Impulse Characteristics of Several Nonhydrocarbon Jet-Engine Fuels (open access)

Summary Report on Analytical Evaluation of Air and Fuel Specific-Impulse Characteristics of Several Nonhydrocarbon Jet-Engine Fuels

Memorandum presenting an analytical evaluation of the air and fuel specific-impulse characteristics of magnesium, magnesium-octene-1 slurries, aluminum, aluminum-octene-1 slurries, boron, boron-octene-1 slurries, carbon, hydrogen, methylnaphthalene, diborane, and pentaborane. Adiabatic constant-pressure combustion temperature, air specific impulse, fuel specific impulse, and equilibrium composition data are given for each fuel over a range of equivalence ratios.
