Low-speed investigation of leading-edge and trailing-edge flaps on a 47.5 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3.4 at a Reynolds number of 4.4 x 10(exp 6) (open access)

Low-speed investigation of leading-edge and trailing-edge flaps on a 47.5 degree sweptback wing of aspect ratio 3.4 at a Reynolds number of 4.4 x 10(exp 6)

Report presenting an investigation in the full-scale tunnel of the low-speed longitudinal characteristics of a 47.5 degree sweptback wing-fuselage combination with various extensible leading-edge-flap and plain trailing-edge-flap arrangements. Results regarding the basic longitudinal characteristics, extensible leading-edge flaps, plain trailing-edge flaps, and flap combinations are provided.

Preliminary Analysis of Problem of Determining Experimental Performance of Air-Cooled Turbine 1: Methods for Determining Heat-Transfer Characteristics (open access)

Preliminary Analysis of Problem of Determining Experimental Performance of Air-Cooled Turbine 1: Methods for Determining Heat-Transfer Characteristics

In determining the experimental performance of an air-cooled turbine, the heat-transfer characteristics must be evaluated. The suggested formulas that are required to determine these characteristics are presented. The formulas have a form in which dependent parameters are expressed as unknown functions of independent parameters. Methods of experimenting to determine these functions are suggested. In some cases general heat-transfer discussions that lead to the suggested forms of the formulas are given.
