Altitude-Chamber Performance of British Roll-Royce Nene II Engine 4: Effect of Operational Variables on Temperature Distribution at Combustion-Chamber Outlets

Description: "Temperature surveys were made at the combustion-chamber outlets of a British Rolls-Royce Nene II engine. The highest mean nozzle-vane and mean gas temperatures were found to occur at a radius approximately 75% of the nozzle-vane length from the inner ring of the nozzle-vane assembly. Variations in engine speed, jet-nozzle area, simulated altitude, and simulated flight speed altered the temperature level but did not materially affect the pattern of radial temperature distribution" (p. 1).

Altitude-Chamber Performance of British Rolls-Royce Nene II Engine 3 - 18.00-Inch-Diameter Jet Nozzle

Description: An altitude-chamber investigation of British Rolls-Royce Nene II turbojet engine was conducted over range of altitudes from sea level to 65,000 feet and ram pressure ratios from 1.10 to 3.50, using an 18.00-inch-diameter jet nozzle. The 18.00-inch-diameter jet nozzle gave slightly lower values of net-thrust specific fuel consumption than either the 18.41- or the standard 18.75-inch-diameter jet nozzles at high flight speeds. At low flight speeds, the 18.41-inch-diameter jet nozzle gave the lowe… more

An analysis of base pressure at supersonic velocities and comparison with experiment

Description: From Introduction: "The primary purpose of the investigation described in the present report is to formulate a method which is of value for quantitative calculations of base pressure on airfoils and bodies without boat-tailing. Part I consists of a detailed study of the base pressure in two-dimensional and axially-symmetric inviscid flow. In part II a semi-empirical theory is formulated since the results of part I indicate that an inviscid-flow theory cannot possibly be satisfactory for quantit… more

Analysis of Turbulent Free-Convection Boundary Layer on Flat Plate

Description: "With the use of Karman's integrated momentum equation for the boundary layer and data on the wall-shearing stress and heat transfer in forced-convection flow, a calculation was carried out for the flow and heat transfer in the turbulent free-convection boundary layer on a vertical flat plate. The calculation is for a fluid with a Prandtl number that is close to 1. A formula was derived for the heat-transfer coefficient that was in good agreement with experimental data in the range of Grashof n… more

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Adiabatic Turbulent Flow in Smooth Tubes

Description: Note presenting equations derived for the prediction of velocity distributions for fully developed adiabtic turbulent flow in smooth tubes; both the incompressible and compressible flow cases were treated. The analysis produced a single equation that represents flow in both the conventional buffer layer and the laminar layer. The results for fully developed flow were correlated by using conventional dimensionless velocity and distance parameters, and agreed closely with those of Nikuradse and o… more

Boundary-Layer Transition on a Cooled 20 Degree Cone at Mach Numbers of 1.5 and 2.0

Description: Note presenting an investigation of the laminar boundary layer on a cooled 20 degree cone at Mach numbers of 1.5 and 2.0 to determine the variation of the position of transition with surface temperature for both constant surface temperatures and surface temperatures that increased toward the rear of the cone. The increase in the extent of the laminar boundary layer for uniform surface temperatures was found to be directly proportional to the difference between the surface and recovery temperatu… more
