Flight and Test-Stand Investigation of High-Performance Fuels in Double-Row Radial Air-Cooled Engines 1: Determination of Cooling Characteristics of Flight Engine
Description:
Report discussing the cooling characteristics of a 14-cylinder double-row radial air-cooled engine in a four-engine airplane. The effects of charge-air flow, cooling-air pressure drop, and fuel-air ratio on the cooling characteristics were measured separately. The cooling equation, rear middle-barrel temperature, cooling-limited manifold pressure, and maximum cruising power versus temperature-limited power are described.
