A fuel-distribution control for continuous-flow manifold injection on reciprocating engines

"A fuel-distribution control for continuous-flow manifold injection on reciprocating engines is described. A method is installation of the control on an engine is suggested. The device controlled the flow to four spring-loaded nozzles within 2 percent of perfect distribution over a wide range of fuel-flow rates and the distribution was practically unaffected by uneven discharge-nozzle pressures" (p. 1).

Some pressure-distribution measurements on a swept-wing at transonic speeds by the NACA wing-flow method (open access)

Some pressure-distribution measurements on a swept-wing at transonic speeds by the NACA wing-flow method

Report presenting results of chordwise pressure-distribution measurements on a 45 degree sweptback wing at transonic speeds. The two stations for measuring were located at the 18 percent chord from the root and the 87 percent chord. The changes in pressure distribution with Mach number did not indicate any appreciable net loss in section lift, but did indicate large increases in the section drag and diving moment.

An Investigation of the Low-Speed Characteristics of Two Sharp-Edge Supersonic Inlets Designed for Essentially External Supersonic Compression (open access)

An Investigation of the Low-Speed Characteristics of Two Sharp-Edge Supersonic Inlets Designed for Essentially External Supersonic Compression

Report presenting an investigation of two sharp-edge annular inlets with conical central bodies at low airspeeds in the propeller research tunnel to obtain information concerning the surface-pressure, drag, and pressure-recovery characteristics of the inlets at subsonic flight. Results regarding the nose and inner surface of the diffuser, inlet lips, minimum surface pressures and critical Mach numbers, pressure surveys in inlets, and pressure surveys in diffusers are provided.

Analysis of Performance of Jet Engine From Characteristics of Components 1: Aerodynamic and Matching Characteristics of Turbine Component Determined With Cold Air (open access)

Analysis of Performance of Jet Engine From Characteristics of Components 1: Aerodynamic and Matching Characteristics of Turbine Component Determined With Cold Air

"The performance of the turbine component of an NACA research jet engine was investigated with cold air. The interaction and the matching of the turbine with the NACA eight-stage compressor were computed with the combination considered as a jet engine. The over-all performance of the engine was then determined. The internal aerodynamics were studied to the extent of investigating the performance of the first stator ring and its influence on the turbine performance" (p. 397).
