Interpretation of boundary-layer pressure-rake data in flow with a detached shock

Description: From Summary: "A procedure is presented for determining boundary-layer quantities from pressure-rake data, which include the combined effects of viscous and shock losses. The problem is analyzed using schileren photographs of the shock configuration, the continuity of mass relationship, and the characteristics of the turbulent boundary layer that its outer edge is defined by a rapid change in slope in the Mach-number profiles in the vicinity of the edge."

Interpretation of Scattering from a Liquid-like Binary

Description: In the general liquid-like binary three radial densities relating to A-A, B-B, and A-B pairs are needed to characterize the scattering. The three densities can be obtained by the Fourier inversion of the weighted combination of three diffraction patterns, each of which differs by the alteration of the scattering of one or both components. If the density of atoms regardless of type is the same around both components, then only two functions, one this distribution, and the other involving the ord… more

Interpretation of Westwood, New Jersey Rainfall Data

Description: "Progress is reported in an evaluation of fission product concentration in rain as a function of time, location, and meteorological setting. Data on rainfall collected at Westwood, N. J., were analyzed for information on the mechanisms of fallout deposition, seasonal variations in fallout, the stratospheric residence time of W/sup 185/ resulting from Operation Hardtack, and the accuracy of pot samplers for sample collection. Data from other collection stations were also analyzed for consistency… more

The interrelated effects of engine rotor momentum and flight regime on the dynamic stability of high-performance aircraft

Description: Report presenting a five-degree-of-freedom analysis of aircraft maneuvering stability, which showed that gyroscopic moments due to engine rotor momentum produced considerable rolling asymmetry for certain values of stability derivatives and flight conditions. Results regarding the altitude effects, Mach number effects, initial load factor, effective dihedral, static stability, roll velocity, and comparison with simplified longitudinal- and lateral-mode theory are provided.

Interrelation of Exhaust-Gas Constituents

Description: This report presents the results of an investigation conducted to determine the interrelation of the constituents of the exhaust gases of internal-combustion engines and the effect of engine performance on these relations. Six single-cylinder, liquid-cooled tests engines and one 9-cylinder radial air-cooled engine were tested. Various types of combustion chambers were used and the engines were operated at compression ratios from 5.1 to 7.0 using spark ignition and from 13.5 to 15.6 using compre… more

Interstitial Compounds as Fuel Cell Catalysts: Their Preparative Techniques and Electrochemical Testing

Description: From Introduction: "This report is a consolidated account of the total program with the exception of work done at Tyco Laboratories. Only a summary of Tyco's findings regarding the activity of the materials has been included in this report since a comprehensive report on their work will appear separately."

Introduction to Diffusion Theory and to Pile-Theory

Description: The following report describes and foretells the situation in medium in which neutrons are being (a)produced as fast neutrons, (b) slowed down to thermal speeds by impacts with nuclei, and (c) absorbed by nuclei in such a manner that sometimes fresh fast neutrons appear at the place where a thermal neutron has just appeared.

Introduction to Electrical-Circuit Analogies for Beam Analysis

Description: Note presenting an application of the well-known analogy between electrical and mechanical systems to the calculation of stresses and deflections of beams. The main objective of the paper is to give an explanation of the analogies in a basic manner which will enable a structural engineer to understand the process of designing the electrical circuits. Analogies are given for beams in bending and torsion with static loads and in vibrational motion.

Introduction to STARPAC: the Standards Time Series and Regression Package

Description: From preface: STARPAC documentation is being published as a series of Technical Notes. This Note is the first in the series. It gives an overview of the STARPAC library, defines conventions used in the documentation, provides an example using STARPAC subroutines, and presents general background material. This Note includes information which is essential for using the STARPAC library, and users should be familiar with its contents before attempting to use any STARPAC subroutine.

An Introduction to the Description and Evaluation of Microwave Systems Using Terminal Invariant Parameters

Description: Report presenting the technical background and basis for a new method of evaluating certain performance parameters which are common to all microwave systems. A unique feature of the new measurement concept is its elimination of the precision waveguide and connector requirements for an important class of measurement problems.

An introduction to the physical aspects of helicopter stability

Description: "In order to provide engineers interested in rotating-wing aircraft but with no specialized training in stability theory some understanding of the factors that influence the flying qualities of the helicopter, an explanation is made of both the static stability and the stick-fixed oscillation in hovering and forward flight in terms of fundamental physical qualities. Three significant stability factors - static stability with angle of attack, static stability with speed, and damping due to a pit… more

Introduction to the Problem of Rocket-Powered Aircraft Performance

Description: An introduction to the problem of determining the fundamental limitations on the performance possibilities of rocket-powered aircraft is presented. Previous material on the subject is reviewed and given in condensed form along with supplementary analyses. Some of the problems discussed are: 1) limiting velocity of a rocket projectile; 2) limiting velocity of a rocket jet; 3) jet efficiency; 4) nozzle characteristics; 5) maximum attainable altitudes; 6) ranges. Formulas are presented relating th… more
