Internal-Film Cooling of Rocket Nozzles

Description: Experiments were conducted with 1000-pound-thrust rocket engine to determine feasibility of cooling convergent-divergent nozzle by internal film of water introduced at nozzle entrance. Water flow of 3 percent of propellant flow reduced heat flow into nozzle to 55 percent of uncooled heat flow. Introduction of water by porous ring before nozzle resulted in more uniform coverage of nozzle than water introduced by single arrangement of 36 jets directed along nozzle wall. Water flow through porous … more

Internal-Flow Systems for Aircraft

Description: "An investigation has been made to determine efficient arrangements for an internal-flow system of an aircraft when such a system operates by itself or in combination with other flow systems. The investigation included a theoretical treatment of a problem and tests in the NACA 5-foot vertical wind tunnel of inlet and outlet openings in a flat plate and in a wing. When an internal-flow system tends to decrease the final velocity of it's wake, the results showed that it should be arranged in seri… more

Internal-liquid-film-cooling experiments with air-stream temperatures to 2000 degrees F. in 2- and 4-inch-diameter horizontal tubes

Description: Report presents the results of an investigation conducted to determine the effectiveness of liquid-cooling films on the inner surfaces of tubes containing flowing hot air. Experiments were made in 2- and 4-inch-diameter straight metal tubes with air flows at temperatures from 600 degrees to 2000 degrees F. and diameter Reynolds numbers from 2.2 to 14 x 10(5). The film coolant, water, was injected around the circumference at a single axial position on the tubes at flow rates from 0.02 to .24 pou… more

Internal performance characteristics of variable-throat plug- and vaned-type convergent-divergent nozzles

Description: Investigation of the internal performance characteristics of three types of variable-throat convergent-divergent nozzles over a wide range of pressure ratios. Only small differences in peak thrust coefficient between the three types of variable-throat convergent-divergent nozzles were obtained.

Internal performance of a series of circular auxiliary-air inlets immersed in a turbulent boundary layer : Mach number range: 1.5 to 2.0

Description: Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the internal performance characteristics of a series of circular, open-nose auxiliary air inlets immersed into the supersonic, turbulent boundary layer generated by the 8- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel. Inlet critical total-pressure and mass-flow ratios were reasonably predicted by theory at all conditions investigated. Results regarding boundary-layer flow, inlet performance, and diffuser-exit pressure fluctuations are provided.

Internal performance of several auxiliary air inlets immersed in a turbulent boundary layer at Mach numbers of 1.3, 1.5, and 2.0

Description: Internal performance of normal-shock rectangular, circular, and scoop inlets and of external-compression inlets experimentally obtained with varying immersion in a turbulent boundary layer. Recoveries varied from about 95 percent of theoretical in the free stream to 80 percent with complete immersion, while the corresponding mass flows were usually above 95 percent of theoretical. Turning of the flow through 10 degrees caused losses in pressure recovery of 0.03 to 0.07. External compression did… more

Internal Performance of Several Divergent-Shroud Ejector Nozzles with High Divergence Angles

Description: From Summary: "Nine divergent-shroud ejector configurations were investigated to determine the effect of shroud divergence angle on ejector internal performance. Unheated dry air was used for both the primary and secondary flows. The decrease in the design-point thrust coefficient with increasing flow divergence angle (angle measured from primary exit to shroud exit) followed very closely a simple relation involving the cosine of the angle. This indicates that design-point thrust performance fo… more

Internal Performance of Two-Dimensional Wedge Exhaust Nozzles

Description: Memorandum presenting an experimental investigation of four rectangular-throat two-dimensional wedge exhaust nozzles. Three of the nozzles were designed to conform to Prandtl-Meyer streamlines for pressure ratios of 5, 10, and 24, and a fourth, arbitrarily contoured, with a length less than that required for isentropic expansion, was designed for a pressure ratio of about 9.

Internal Stresses in Laminated Construction

Description: "This report reviews the procedure employed in an investigation of the sources and influence of internal stresses in laminated construction, and discusses the influence of shrinkage and swelling stresses caused by atmospheric conditions upon the tensile strength across grain in laminated construction with special reference to airplane propellers. The investigation covered three sources of internal stress, namely, the combination of plain-sawed and quarter-sawed material in the same construction… more

Internal Target System and Induced Radioactivity at the AGS

Description: When the Brookhaven AGS started operation in the summer of 1960 very little experience with targeting in strong focusing proton synchrotrons was available. While it was evident that targeting techniques would differ markedly from those used in weak focusing machines, only actual running experience would set the proper parameters for a truly satisfactory targeting system. It was, therefore, an advantage that temporary targeting devices were used initially. Work on a more permanent system was not… more
