Evaluation of Reactor Core Materials for a Gas-Cooled Reactor Experiment

Description: From introduction: "On February 1, 1956, Batelle was awarded a contract by the Army Reactor Branch (ARB) to select, develop, and test core materials which could be used successfully in conducting a Gas Cooled Reactor Experiment (GCRE). The prime objective of the GCRE would be to evaluate small portable reactor systems for military application...The present report is concerned with the GCRE activities at Batelle during approximately the 7 months' period following the first report of this series,… more

Performance Evaluation of Reduced-Chord Rotor Blading as Applied to J73 Two-Stage Turbine

Description: "The multistage turbine from the J73 turbojet engine has previously been investigated with standard and with reduced-chord rotor blading in order to determine the individual performance characteristics of each configuration over a range of over-all pressure ratio and speed. Because both turbine configurations exhibited peak efficiencies of over 90 percent, and because both units had relatively wide efficient operating ranges, it was considered of interest to determine the performance of the fir… more

Performance evaluation of reduced-chord rotor blading as applied to J73 two-stage turbine 1: over-all performance with standard rotor blading at inlet conditions of 35 inches of mercury absolute and 700 degrees R

Description: Report presenting an investigation conducted to determine the overall performance of the J73 two-stage turbine with a standard rotor-blade configuration. The turbine operated with a maximum brake internal efficiency between 0.91 and 0.92 at an overall pressure ratio of about 3.4 and 120 percent equivalent design rotor speed. Results regarding the overall performance, variation of equivalent weight flow with overall pressure ratio, and effect of limiting blade loading are provided.

Performance evaluation of reduced-chord rotor blading as applied to J73 two-stage turbine 2: over-all performance at inlet conditions of 35 inches of mercury absolute and 700 degrees R

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the feasibility of utilizing a reduced-chord rotor blading on the two-stage turbine of the J73 turbojet engine in order to reduce the weight. The turbine was operated as a component over a range of speeds and overall pressure ratios at turbine-inlet conditions corresponding to 35 inches of mercury absolute and 700 degrees R. Results regarding the overall performance, performance map, and peak efficiency are provided.

Performance Evaluation of Reduced-Chord Rotor Blading as Applied to J73 Two-Stage Turbine 6: Stage Performance With Standard Rotor Blading at Inlet Conditions of 35 Inches of Mercury Absolute and 700 Degrees R

Description: Report presenting an evaluation of the stage performance of the J73 turbine on the basis of previous performance investigations of the first stages alone and of the two-stage turbines with standard and with reduced-chord rotor blading for a range of rotational speeds and pressure ratios. The results demonstrated that both of the two-stage turbines and first-stage turbines had comparable performance.
