The Calculated Effect of Various Hydrodynamic and Aerodynamic Factors on the Take-Off of a Large Flying Boat

Description: Report presents the results of an investigation made to determine the influence of various factors on the take-off performance of a hypothetical large flying boat by means of take-off calculations. The factors varied in the calculations were size of hull (load coefficient), wing setting, trim, deflection of flap, wing loading, aspect ratio, and parasite drag. The take-off times and distances were calculated to the stalling speeds and the performance above these speeds was separately studied to … more

Interaction of Be with Fission Neutrons

Description: To determine whether or not the (n,2n) reaction in Be would produce a net increase in fission neutrons in a power plant, the distribution of In resonance neutrons slowed down from fission energies in a graphite block was measured with and without a 2" of Be in front of a U3O8 slab undergoing fission. The thermal neutrons producing the fissions were obtained by slowing down neutrons from a cyclotron source. The observed distribution without Be was well represented by a Gaussian source range 36 c… more

Application of the Method of Characteristics to Supersonic Rotational Flow

Description: "A system for calculating the physical properties of supersonic rotational flow with axial symmetry and supersonic rotational flow in a two-dimensional field was determined by use of the characteristics method. The system was applied to the study of external and internal flow for supersonic inlets with axial symmetry. For a circular conical inlet the shock that occurred at the lip of the inlet became stronger as it approached the axis of the inlet and became a normal shock at the axis" (p. 111). more

Fuel Tests on an I-16 Jet-Propulsion Engine at Static Sea-Level Conditions

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation of the effect of fuel composition and boiling point on the performance of the type of I-16 jet-propulsion engine. Testing occurred with 14 fuels embodying different types of hydrocarbon and with a range of boiling points. The results indicated that fuel composition and boiling range have a negligible effect on engine thrust, rotor speed, and gas temperatures for the principal types of hydrocarbon fuel when used for short periods of time.

A Preliminary Study of Ram-Actuated Cooling Systems for Supersonic Aircraft

Description: An analysis has been made of the characteristics of several cooling cycles suitable for cockpit cooling of supersonic aircraft. All the cycles considered utilize the difference between dynamic and ambient static pressure to actuate the cooling system and require no additional power source. The results of the study indicate that as flight speeds become greater, increasingly complex systems are required to reduce the altitudes above approximately 35,000 feet, a system composed of an externally lo… more

Line-Vortex Theory for Calculation of Supersonic Downwash

Description: "The perturbation field induced by a line vortex in a supersonic stream and the downwash behind a supersonic lifting surface are examined to establish approximate methods for determining the downwash behind supersonic wings. Lifting-lines methods are presented for calculating supersonic downwash. A bent lifting-line method is proposed for computing the downwash field behind swept wings. When applied to triangular wings with subsonic leading edges, this method gives results that, in general, are… more

C-Pile recommended flow -- Pressure characteristic curve and orifice pattern

Description: Final approval of a flow-pressure characteristic curve and orifice pattern for C Pile is desired as soon as possible to allow the completion of orifice assemblies and parallit instrumentation. The presentation of a recommended flow-pressure curve and an orifice pattern has been delayed by a lack of experimental flow data on the C Pile flow system. Discussion with members of the C-431-B working committee and Pile Technology Unit personnel indicated that the use of flows higher than those recomme… more

Some torsional-damping measurements of laminated beams as applied to the propeller stall-flutter problem

Description: The structural damping in the torsion mode of vibration of a series of untwisted, laminated thin beams simulating propeller blades is presented. The number of lamination were varied, as well as the bonding material and the method of joining lamination. Application of the data to the calculation of the minimum flutter speed of thin propeller blades indicates that appreciable gains in the minimum flutter speed may be obtained for laminated blades using a Cycleweld bond.
