Bibliography and Index on Vacuum and Low Pressure Measurement

From Introduction: "This paper consists essentially of a) a bibliography, b) an author index, and c) an index of the subject matter of the bibliography. While the primary objective is to focus on vacuum measurement, it was believed essential to include in the bibliography articles on vacuum technology in some measure accessory or essential to vacuum measurement. For maximum usefulness, an index of the subject matter of the references has been prepared. The abstract publications listed in the previous paragraph have been freely drawn upon in preparing the bibliography."

Investigations of Slot Configurations for Film-Cooled Turbine Blades by Flow Visualization Methods (open access)

Investigations of Slot Configurations for Film-Cooled Turbine Blades by Flow Visualization Methods

Memorandum presenting a procedure for obtaining qualitative information on the effectiveness of different slot configurations to make the flow of the cooling air visible. Two methods are utilized: one utilizes the traces caused by a reaction between paint spread over the blade surface and a gas mixed with the cooling air, while the other utilized smoke mixed with the cooling air to make it visible. From the visual observations, the use of a continuous slot as a means of creating the cooling film over the blade surface appeared to be superior to the use of holes or grooves.

Analytical determination of local surface heat-transfer coefficients for cooled turbine blades from measured metal temperatures (open access)

Analytical determination of local surface heat-transfer coefficients for cooled turbine blades from measured metal temperatures

From Summary: "Procedures for applying these analytical methods to experimentally measured blade-metal temperatures are presented. Data are presented for the leading and trailing edge of a symmetrical water-cooled blade to illustrate the validity of the methods for those portions of the blade. In addition to the application to turbine blades, the methods can be applied to any heat-transfer apparatus having a profile that can be approximated by the shape discussed."

Memorandum presenting an investigation of aileron effectiveness and dihedral effect for a wing-body combination with a variable-incidence triangular wing with modified half-delta controls at the wing tips. The tests were conducted at a Mach number of 1.52 at a Reynolds number of 0.82 million. The experimental value of aileron effectiveness at 0 degrees angle of attack was approximately 78 percent of the value predicted by linear theory, and the effectiveness decreased with increasing wing angle of attack.

Wind-Tunnel Investigation at a Mach Number of 2.01 of the Aerodynamic Characteristics in Combined Angles of Attack and Sideslip of Several Hypersonic Missile Configurations with Various Canard Controls (open access)

Wind-Tunnel Investigation at a Mach Number of 2.01 of the Aerodynamic Characteristics in Combined Angles of Attack and Sideslip of Several Hypersonic Missile Configurations with Various Canard Controls

"An investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of several hypersonic missile configurations with various canard controls for an angle-of-attack range from 0 deg to about 28 deg at sideslip angles of about 0 deg and 4 deg at a Mach number of 2.01 has been made in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel. The configurations tested were a body alone which had a ratio of length to diameter of 10, the body with a 10 deg flare, the body with cruciform fins of 5 deg or 15 deg apex angle, and a flare-stabilized rocket model with a modified Von Karman nose" (p. 1). Various canard surfaces for pitch control only were tested on the body with the 10 deg flare and on the body with both sets of fins. The results indicated that the addition of a flared afterbody or cruciform fins produced configurations which were longitudinally and directionally stable. The body with 5 deg fins should be capable of producing higher normal accelerations than the flared body. A l l of the canard surfaces were effective longitudinal controls which produced net positive increments of normal force and pitching moments which progressively decreased with increasing angle of attack.
