Performance of Compressor of XJ-41-V Turbojet Engine V-Performance Analysis of Compressor With Revised Vaned Collector Over Range of Compressor Speeds From 3600 to 11,500 RPM

Description: "An investigation of the XJ-41-V turbojet-engine compressor with a revised vaned collector was conducted to determine the performance of the compressor and to obtain fundamental information on the aerodynamic problems associated with large centrifugal compressors of this type. The original vaned collector was revised by increasing the flow area at the vaned collector entrance. A maximum adiabatic efficiency of 0.81 was obtained at a corrected weight flow of 36.5 pounds per second and a pressure… more

Performance of Compressor of Xj-41-v Turbojet Engine, 3, Compressor Static-Pressure Rise at Equivalent Compressor Speeds of 5000, 7000, 8000, and 9000 RPM

Description: "At the request of the Air Materiel Command, Army Air Forces, an investigation is being conducted at the NACA Cleveland laboratory to determine the performance characteristics of the XJ-41-V turbojet-engine compressor. The static-pressure variation in the direction of flow through the compressor was presented in reference 1 for an equivalent speed of 8000 rpm. An analysis of these pressure indicated that the maximum-flow limitation of the compressor was caused by separation, which reduced the e… more

Performance of Compressor of XJ-41-V Turbojet Engine, 4, Performance Analysis Over Range of Compressor Speeds from 5000 to 10,000 RPM

Description: "An investigation of the XJ-41-V turbojet-engine compressor was conducted to determine the performance of the compressor and to obtain fundamental information on the aerodynamic problems associated with large centrifugal-type compressors. The results of the research conducted on the original compressor indicated the compressor would not meet the desired engine-design air-flow requirements because of an air-flow restriction in the vaned collector. The compressor air-flow choking point occurred n… more

Performance of Compressor of XJ-41-V Turbojet Engine 6 - Analysis of Compressor Flow Choking

Description: "An extended analysis was made of the previously reported performance investigation of the original compressor from the XJ-41-V turbojet engine and a similar compressor revised a to obtain a 33-percent increase in the geometric passage area at the vaned-collector entrance. This analysis was based on the concept of the vaned-collector entrance as the throat section of a nozzle. Because of nonuniform air distribution at the vaned-collector entrance, approximately 90 percent of the available flow … more

Performance of Compressor XJ-41-V Turbojet Engine 1 - Preliminary Investigation at Equivalent Compressor Speed of 8000 RPM

Description: From Summary: "At the request of the Air Material Command, Arm Air Forces, an investigation was conducted at the NACA Cleveland laboratory to determine the performance characteristics of the XJ-41-V turbojet-engine compressor. The complete compressor was mounted on a collecting chamber having an annular air-flow passage simulating the burner annulus of the engine and was driven by an electric motor. The compressor was extensively instrumented to determine the overall performance of the compress… more
