Empirical mode constants for calculating frequencies of axial-flow compressor blades

Description: The vibration characteristics of a group of axial-flow compressor blades of similar geometry were investigated. Empirical-mode constants were determined for the first three bending and torsional modes. A comparison of experimentally determined frequencies of a second group of blades with frequencies computed using these mode constants showed that the computed values were correct within 10 percent. The approximate limiting ratios of depth to chord and length to chord below which these constants … more

Method of Estimating the Incompressible-Flow Pressure Distribution of Compressor Blade Sections at Design Angle of Attack

Description: Report presenting a method to estimate the incompressible-flow surface pressures of compressor airfoils in cascade at design angle of attack by modifying the known pressure distribution as an isolated airfoil. The interference between airfoils was found to vary in a systematic manner. Testing performed on NACA 65-series compressor blade sections appears to agree with estimated values.

Method of Estimating the Incompressible-Flow Pressure Distribution of Compressor Blade Sections at Design Angle of Attack

Description: "A method was devised for estimating the incompressible-flow pressure distribution over compressor blade sections at design angle of attack. The theoretical incremental velocities due to camber and thickness of the section as an isolated airfoil are assumed proportional to the average passage velocity and are modified by empirically determined interference factors. Comparisons were made between estimated and test pressure distributions of NACA 65-series sections for typical conditions. Good agr… more

High-Speed Cascade Tests of the NACA 65-(12A(sub 10))10 and NACA 65-(12A(sub 2)I(sub 8b))10 Compressor Blade Sections

Description: "Two-dimensional porous-well cascade tests of the NACA 65- (l2Al0) 10 and NACA 65-(l2A2I8b)10 blade sections were made at Mach numbers from 0.3 to choking in most cases. Data were obtained at solidities of 1.0 and 1.5 at inlet-air angles of 45 deg. and 60 deg. for both blade sections. With a solid--wall modification to the cascade tunnel, schlieren observations were made of the flow in cascade at a solidity of 1.5 and inlet-air angle of 45 deg. and at a solidity of 1.0 and inlet-air angle of 60… more

Identification of Foreign Objects Damaging Compressor Blades in Turbojet Engines

Description: "Damage to the compressor blades of turbojet engines due to ingestion of foreign objects is a growing problem, the solution of which has been made more difficult by the large percentage of damaging materials that have remained unknown. A rapid emission spectroscopic method was devised to identify the chemical composition of these foreign objects. Results on laboratory-prepared specimens and blades from damaged engines show that the method can be utilized to determine the nature of the ingested … more

Summary of 65-Series Compressor-Blade Low-Speed Cascade Data by Use of the Carpet-Plotting Technique

Description: "The carpet-plotting technique is presented in this paper as a more useful and concise method of summarizing cascade data on the NACA 65-series compressor blades given in NACA Technical Note 3916. Carpet plots included permit the selection of the blade camber and the design angle of attack required to fulfill a design vector diagram. Other carpet plots provide means for the prediction of off-design turning angles" (p. 1).

Comparison of NACA 65-series compressor-blade pressure distributions and performance in a rotor and in cascade

Description: An investigation has been conducted to compare the performance of NACA 65-series compressor blades in two-dimensional cascade with that in an axial flow compressor. Blade pressure distributions were obtained by the use of a mercury-seal pressure-transfer device. The comparison indicated that cascade data accurately predicted the turning angle and blade pressure distribution obtained in the compressor at design conditions.

Systematic two-dimensional cascade tests of NACA 65-series compressor blades at low speeds

Description: The performance of NACA 65-series compressor blade section in cascade has been investigated systematically in a low-speed cascade tunnel. Porous test-section side walls and for high-pressure-rise conditions, porous flexible end walls were employed to establish conditions closely simulating two-dimensional flow.
