Columbia Scaling Circuits (open access)

Columbia Scaling Circuits

Abstract: "The advantages of high scaling ratios in counting random pulses are discussed. The mechanism of the basic circuit used in the Columbia University scaling circuits is described. The difficulties experienced in the performance of the earlier circuits are indicated and modified circuits to eliminate these difficulties are given. Precautions that must be observed in carrying out the constructional details are suggested. The complete circuit and specifications are given in detail for a Scale of 128 for use with linear-amplifier systems" (p. 1).

An Approximate Method for Estimating the Incompressible Laminar Boundary-Layer Characteristics on a Flat Plate in Slipping Flow (open access)

An Approximate Method for Estimating the Incompressible Laminar Boundary-Layer Characteristics on a Flat Plate in Slipping Flow

Memorandum presenting an approximate method for the estimation of the properties of the incompressible laminar boundary layer on a flat plate in the slip-flow region using Karman's momentum method. At equivalent stations, the total thickness and the skin friction of a slipping boundary layer are less than that of the normal boundary layer at the same Reynolds number.

Altitude-wind-tunnel investigation of AN-F-58 fuel in experimental version of J47 turbojet engine (open access)

Altitude-wind-tunnel investigation of AN-F-58 fuel in experimental version of J47 turbojet engine

An altitude-wind-tunnel investigation of the performance of AN-F-58 and AN-F-32 fuels in an experimental turbojet engine was conducted over a range of simulated altitudes and flight Mach numbers. Combustion efficiencies obtained with AN-F-58 and AN-F-32 fuels were approximately equal. The minimum-speed altitude operational limit was essentially the same with either AN-F-58 or AN-F-32 fuel. Starting characteristics of the two fuels were approximately the same at low wind milling speeds. Visual observation showed no apparent differences in the carbon-deposition rates of AN-F-58 and AN-F-32 fuels.

Investigation of Axial-Flow Fan and Compressor Rotors Designed for Three-Dimensional Flow (open access)

Investigation of Axial-Flow Fan and Compressor Rotors Designed for Three-Dimensional Flow

"An investigation has been conducted to determine whether three-dimensional flows may be utilized in axial-flow fan and compressor rotors so that the spanwise load distribution may be varied to obtain high pressure rise. Two rotors, one with approximately uniform and one with solid-body downstream tangential-velocity distributions, were designed and tested at the design blade angle" (p. 1).
