Description: "A comparison has been made in flight of the antiknock characteristics of 33-R fuel with that of 28-R and a triptane blend. The knock-limited performance of the three fuels - 33-R, a blend of 80 percent 28-R plus 20 percent triptane (leaded to 4.5 ml TEL/gal), and 28-R - was investigated in two modified 14-cylinder double-row radial air-cooled engines. Tests were conducted on the engines as installed in the left inboard nacelle of an airplane. A carburetor-air temperature of approximately 85 de… more

The Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Near-Infinite Sliders Such as Piston Rings

Description: "The lubrication of a piston ring is treated as though the ring were a rigid slider of finite width. An expression is obtained for pressure distribution which takes into account the effect of oil leakage from the ends of the ring and which has the convenient form of an end correction to the pressure-distribution formula for an infinite slider. The important formulas are summarized for convenience and two examples are included of their use in finding the pressure pattern over wide sliders" (p. 1… more
