Tank tests of a 1/8-size dynamic model of the PB2Y-3 airplane with increased power: NACA model 131

Description: Report presenting a study of the installation of 1800-horsepower engines in the PB2Y-3 airplane in place of the current 1200-horsepower engines. Stability and spray tests were made to determine the performance of the model on the water when tested at both the present and projected conditions of gross load and engine power. Results regarding aerodynamic tests and hydrodynamic tests are provided.

Gasoline-water distribution coefficients of xylidines

Description: Report presenting experimental data on the distribution coefficients of technical xylidines for the system gasoline-water. The distribution coefficient is defined as the ratio of the concentration of xylidines in the gasoline layer to that in the water layer. Results regarding the effect of concentration of xylidines, effect of aromatic content of fuel, effect of sea water, and effect of temperature are provided.

The low-temperature solubility of technical xylidine in aviation gasoline

Description: Report presenting testing to determine the low-temperature solubility of technical xylidines in aviation gasoline. Testing included measuring the cloud point, or incipient separation temperature, at several concentrations of technical xylidines in a 65-octane-number clear gasoline without aromatics and with aromatics added in various percentages up to 15 percent by volume and a grade 130, specification AN-F-28, amendment 2, gasoline.
