Note presenting an investigation to compare the effectiveness of two basic methods of cooling a turbosupercharger and to obtain data on the temperature level and distribution in the turbine wheel. Turbine-wheel temperatures were obtained for various conditions of cooling-air mass flow, exhaust-gas temperature, and exhaust-gas mass flow. Modified forms of the standard cooling caps were used to allow for the installation of temperature-measuring devices.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
