Air-flow characteristics of brazed and rolled wire filter cloth for transpiration-cooled afterburners

Description: From Introduction: "Because of variation in the static-pressure drop across the porous material and in the cooling air required along the length of afterburner combustion chambers, a prescribed distribution of permeability is usually necessary. However, as a preliminary investigation, this report is concerned only with the attainment of uniform permeability. The results of an experimental investigation, conducted at the NACA Lewis laboratory, to determine the permeabilities of five thick meshes… more

Altitude cooling investigation of the R-2800-21 engine in the P-47G airplane 2: investigation of the engine & airplane variables affecting the cylinder temperature distribution

Description: "The data obtained from cooling tests of an R-2800-21 engine installed in a P-47G airplane were studied to determine which engine and airplane operation variables were mainly responsible for the extremely uneven temperature distribution among the 18 engine cylinders obtained at the medium and high engine-power conditions. The tests consisted of flights at altitudes from 5000 to 35,000 feet for the normal range of engine and airplane operation. The results of the study showed that a flow conditi… more

Altitude cooling investigation of the R-2800-21 engine in the P-47g airplane 3: individual-cylinder temperature reduction by means of intake-pipe throttle and by coolant injection

Description: "Flight tests were conducted on a R-2800-21 engine in the P-47G airplane to determine the effect on the wall temperatures of cylinder 10 of throttling the charge in the intake pipe and of injecting a water-ethanol coolant into the intake pipe. Cylinder 10 was chosen for this investigation because it runs abnormally hot (head temperatures of the order of 45 F higher than those of the next hottest cylinder) at the medium and high-power conditions. Tests with interchanged cylinders showed that the… more
