Aerodynamic Characteristics of Four Bodies of Revolution Showing Some Effects of Afterbody Shape and Fineness Ratio at Free-Stream Mach Numbers From 1.50 to 1.99 (open access)

Aerodynamic Characteristics of Four Bodies of Revolution Showing Some Effects of Afterbody Shape and Fineness Ratio at Free-Stream Mach Numbers From 1.50 to 1.99

The effects of fineness ratio (14.2 and 12.2) and boattailing on aerodynamic characteristics of four bodies of revolution at Mach numbers from 1.50 to 1.99 within a range of angles of attack from 0 degrees 10 degrees at an approximate Reynolds number of 35x10(superscript)6 based on body length were investigated. A comparison of experimental data with available theory is included. At zero angle of attack, fineness ratio has no appreciable effect on model characteristics while boattailing and boattail convergence significantly affect fore drag and base drag.

Corrosion Data for Type 347 Stainless Steel Pipe Waste Metal Recovery Process

Introduction: "A limited test progress for the evaluation of type 347 stainless steel pipe which failed the Huey (?) test has been complicated. The tests reported herein were similar in scope to those reported in document number EW-20765, Corrosion Tests on Stainless Steel Plate, Waste Metal Recovery Process. Material tested was obtained on order number EWC-8553, National Tube Company Heat #3X9741. Lots 9789 and 9790."

Influence of airfoil trailing-edge angle and trailing-edge-thickness variation on the effectiveness of a plain flap at high subsonic Mach numbers (open access)

Influence of airfoil trailing-edge angle and trailing-edge-thickness variation on the effectiveness of a plain flap at high subsonic Mach numbers

Report presenting the effects of variation of trailing-edge angle and trailing-edge thickness on the lift characteristics of a 10-percent-chord thick symmetrical NACA airfoil section with a 25-percent-chord plain flap as determined from wind tunnel tests over a range of Mach numbers. Results regarding the section lift and pitching-moment characteristics, variation of lift coefficient with flap deflection, schileren photographs, and effect of angle of attack are provided.

Performance characteristics of aircraft cooling ejectors having short cylindrical shrouds (open access)

Performance characteristics of aircraft cooling ejectors having short cylindrical shrouds

The factors affecting the performance of ejector suitable for aircraft cooling are investigated theoretically and experimentally. The investigation covers a range of shroud-to-nozzle diameter ratios from 1.1 to 1.6, of shroud lengths from 0.2 to 2.28 nozzle diameters, of secondary-to-primary weight-flow ratios from 0 to 0.12, and of ambient-to-nozzle pressure ratios from 0.7 to 0.06. The results of a simplified theoretical analysis based on each type of flow are in good agreement with those experimentally obtained.

Preliminary Investigation of Helmholtz Resonators for Damping Pressure Fluctuations in 3.6-Inch Ram Jet at Mach Number 1.90 (open access)

Preliminary Investigation of Helmholtz Resonators for Damping Pressure Fluctuations in 3.6-Inch Ram Jet at Mach Number 1.90

Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted at Mach number 1.90 to determine if Helmholtz resonators can be used in a typical ramjet configuration to damp pressure pulsations associated with shock oscillations. Only one of the two resonators was found to effectively damp pressure pulsations that occurred when the ram jet was operating in the vicinity of its peak pressure recovery. Neither was found to effectively damp pressure pulsations over the entire range of ramjet operating conditions.
