Preliminary Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Effect of Area Suction on the Laminar Boundary Layer Over an NACA 64A010 Airfoil

Description: Memorandum presenting a preliminary investigation made in the two-dimensional low-turbulence tunnel on an NACA 64A010 airfoil with permeable surfaces to obtain an indication of the stabilizing effect of area suction on the laminar boundary layer. Although the airfoil surface had many waves and irregularities of contour, the data corroborated qualitatively the theoretically predicted stabilizing effect of area suction on a smooth flat plate.

Theoretical performance of some rocket propellants containing hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen

Description: From Summary: "Theoretical performance data including nozzle-exit temperature, specific impulse, volume specific impulse and composition, temperature, and mean molecular weight of reaction products based on frozen equilibrium and isentropic expansion are presented for 13 propellant combinations at reaction pressure of 300 pounds per square inch absolute and expansion ratio of 20.4. On basis of maximum specific impulse alone, five fuels had the following order for any given oxidant: liquid hydro… more

Inlet Icing and Effectiveness of Hot-Gas Bleedback for Ice Protection of Turbojet Engine

Description: Report presenting an investigation of icing and ice protection at the inlet of a turbojet engine in the altitude wind tunnel. A method of ice protection was studied that uses hot gas bled from a turbine inlet and injected into the air stream ahead of the compressor inlet. Ice was either prevented or accumulated slowly at various engine speed levels.

Preliminary wind-tunnel investigation of the effect of area suction on the laminar boundary layer over an NACA 64A010 airfoil

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the two-dimensional low-turbulence tunnel on an NACA 64A010 airfoil with permeable surfaces to obtain an indication of the stabilizing effect of area suction on the laminar boundary layer. The surface of the airfoil that was tested had a lot of waves and irregularities, but the theoretically predicted stabilizing effect of area suction on a smooth flat plate was still observed.

The Preparation of Uranium

Description: The method used for the preparation of uranium metal in a fused state was reduction of uranium chloride with calcium in a refractory-lined bomb. The reaction was started by externally heating the bomb with a gas flame. The metal was obtained in a solid chunk which was covered with a layer of fused calcium chloride. The metal obtained by this process had a density of 17.6 which on remelting in a vacuum induction furnace rose to 18.8. The melting temperature of the metal was estimated to be no gr… more

Photographic study of combustion in a rocket engine I : variation in combustion of liquid oxygen and gasoline with seven methods of propellant injection

Description: From Summary: "Motion pictures at camera speeds up to 3000 frames per second were taken of the combustion of liquid oxygen and gasoline in a 100-pound-thrust rocket engine. The engine consisted of thin contour and injection plates clamped between two clear plastic sheets forming a two-dimensional engine with a view of the entire combustion chamber and nozzle. A photographic investigation was made of the effect of seven methods of propellant injection on the uniformity of combustion. From the ph… more

Application of Theodorsen's Theory to Propeller Design

Description: "A theoretical analysis is presented for obtaining by use of Theodorsen's propeller theory the load distribution along a propeller radius to give the optimum propeller efficiency for any design condition. Examples are included to illustrate the method of obtaining the optimum load distributions for both single-rotating and dual-rotating propellers" (p. 1).

Aerodynamic characteristics at high speeds of full-scale propellers having Clark Y blade sections

Description: From Introduction: "The single purpose of this paper is to make available the data obtained from tests of these two Clark Y section propellers as quickly as possible with no attempt being made to analyze the results or to compare them with other high-speed-propeller test results."
