Dynamics of a turbojet engine considered as a quasi-static system

From Summary: "A determination of the dynamic characteristics of a typical turbojet engine with a centrifugal compressor, a sonic-flow turbine-nozzle diaphragm, and fixed area exhaust nozzle is presented. A generalized equation for transient behavior of the engine was developed; this equation was then verified by calculations using compressor and turbine performance charts extrapolated from equilibrium operating data and by experimental data obtained from an engine operated under transients in fuel flow."

Investigation of effects of movable exhaust-nozzle plug on operational performance of 20-inch ram jet (open access)

Investigation of effects of movable exhaust-nozzle plug on operational performance of 20-inch ram jet

Report presenting the effects of a movable exhaust-nozzle plug on the operational performance of a 20-inch ramjet in the altitude wind tunnel. Results were obtained at various exhaust-nozzle-plug positions over a range of fuel-air ratios, combustion-chamber-inlet velocities and static pressures, and ambient-air static pressures.

Theoretical Characteristics of Two-Dimensional Supersonic Control Surfaces (open access)

Theoretical Characteristics of Two-Dimensional Supersonic Control Surfaces

Report presenting aerodynamic characteristics of uncambered symmetrical parabolic and double-wedge airfoils with leading-edge and trailing-edge flaps using the Busemann second-order-approximation theory. Characteristics presented include aileron effectiveness factor, rate of change of hinge-moment coefficient with aileron deflection, rate of change of the pitching-moment coefficient, and the location of the center of pressure of the airfoil-aileron combination.

Urine Analysis for Tritium Oxide (open access)

Urine Analysis for Tritium Oxide

This report analyzes a procedure based on the production of acetylene from the active water, with subsequent measurement of the ionization caused by the tritium beta particle. This eliminates the troublesome absorption on the chamber walls when hydrogen is used, and provides a rapid method for the preparation of the urine samples.
