Report presenting an investigation of a full-scale afterburner with high burner-inlet velocity to determine burner performance with several variations in burner design. A total of 12 flameholder configurations were investigated at a specified burner-inlet velocity and a range of burner-inlet pressures. Results indicated that a basic annular two-V-gutter flameholder can operate at 90 to 95 percent combustion efficiency for fairly optimum burner length and pressure.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
