An Acceleration Schedule Control for Accelerating a Turbojet Engine and Its Use With a Speed Control (open access)

An Acceleration Schedule Control for Accelerating a Turbojet Engine and Its Use With a Speed Control

Memorandum presenting a study of an acceleration-limiting control on a turbojet engine in order to determine its feasibility as an acceleration control. A proportional-plus-integral type of controller was used in the investigation. Results regarding the one-loop control and two-loop control are provided.

Preliminary survey of possible methods for hypersonic aircraft (open access)

Preliminary survey of possible methods for hypersonic aircraft

Report presenting an investigation conducted to determine the relative advantages and limitations of a number of fluids for use as either heat sinks or coolants for hypersonic aircraft. The feasibility of the fluids tested as heat sinks and cooling in the high-level and low-level regions is described.

Theoretical Performance of Liquid Ammonia With Liquid Oxygen as a Rocket Propellant (open access)

Theoretical Performance of Liquid Ammonia With Liquid Oxygen as a Rocket Propellant

Memorandum presenting theoretical rocket performance for both equilibrium and frozen composition during expansion, which was calculated for the propellant combination of liquid ammonia with liquid oxygen at two chamber pressures and a wide range of pressure ratios and oxidant-fuel ratios. Some of the performance parameters explored include specific impulse, specific impulse in vacuum, combustion-chamber temperature, nozzle-exit temperature, molecular weight, molecular-weight derivatives, characteristic velocity, coefficient of thrust, ratio of nozzle-exit area to throat area, specific heat at constant pressure, isentropic exponent, viscosity, thermal conductivity, Mach number, and equilibrium gas compositions.
