The Heat of Combustion of Tetraethyldiborane

Description: "The net heat of combustion of a sample of tetraethyldiborane was found to be 20,400 plus or minus 130 Btu per pound for the reaction of liquid fuel to gaseous carbon dioxide, gaseous water ,and solid boric oxide. The measurements were made in a Parr oxygen bomb calorimeter and the combustion is believed to have been 99 percent complete. A more reasonable value for the net heat of combustion would therefore be 20,600 plus or minus 130 Btu per pound" (p. 1).

Flight evaluation of the lateral stability and control characteristics of the Convair YF-102 airplane

Description: Report presenting the lateral stability and control characteristics of the Convair YF-102 airplane during flights for the NACA research program.

The design and cascade tests of free-streamline and full-contour 160 degrees turning supersonic-turbine-blade sections

Description: Report presenting a study of the flow characteristics of two supersonic-impulse-turbine-blade sections designed for a turning angle of 160 degrees. The primary difference between the two sections was the cutting away of a large portion of the convex surface and the presence of a free streamline as the boundary of flow in the passage. Results regarding the full-contour blade, free-streamline blade, and a comparison of the two are provided.

A Flight Investigation to Determine the Effectiveness of Mach Number 1.0, 1.2, and 1.41 Fuselage Indentations for Reducing the Pressure Drag of a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing Configuration at Transonic and Low Supersonic Speeds

Description: Report presenting a flight investigation to determine the effectiveness of three fuselage indentations for reducing the pressure drag of a 45 degree sweptback-wing-body configuration at a range of Mach numbers. The results indicate that the supersonic area rule can be used to determine indentations with low pressure drag over a Mach number range in which the blunt leading edge is subsonic. Information about total drag and pressure drag is provided.

A Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Low-Amplitude Damping in Yaw and Directional Stability of a Fuselage-Tail Configuration at Mach Numbers Up to 1.10

Description: Report presenting a low-amplitude free-oscillation investigation at zero angle of attack of the damping in yaw and directional stability of a fuselage-tail configuration through a range of reduced frequency. The damping in yaw was found to decrease with Mach numbers above 0.8 and became the lowest at about 1.0. An increase in reduced frequency was observed to cause a decrease in damping in yaw and directional stability for the test frequency range.
