Analytical and experimental studies of a divided-flow ram-jet combustor

Description: From Introduction: "The investigation reported herein is a continuation of a ram-jet-combustor design program being conducted at the NACA Lewis laboratory. The purpose of this broad program is to establish basic design criteria for combustors operating over wide range of fuel-air ratio with low pressure losses and high combustion efficiency, and to utilize these design criteria in the development of practical ram-jet combustors."

Calculation of Shield Induced Gamma Radiation Escaping Through Openings in a Biological Shield -- Application to the HRT

Description: A method was developed for calculating shield induced gamma radiation escaping through openings in a biological shield. The method was applied to the HRT and the results indicated that the contribution to the dose from induced activity in the HRT shield was around 0.1 r/hr and was insignificant in comparison to to other mechanisms contributing to the escape of gamma rays through shield openings.

Characterization of Inclusion in Dingot Uranium

Description: Abstract: The nonmetallic inclusions in both as-reduced and fabricated dingot uranium have been studied for comparison with those in ingot uranium. Special attention was paid to the hydride for the purpose of determining the amount and distribution in the various types of uranium. The types and distribution of other inclusions were also studied. It was found that the dingot uranium was of a higher quality than ingot uranium and was comparable to as-reduced derby uranium on the basis of over-all… more

Free-spinning wind-tunnel tests of a low-wing monoplane with systematic changes in wings and tails V: effect of airplane relative density

Description: The reported tests are a continuation of an NACA investigation being made in the free-spinning wind tunnel to determine the effects of independent variations in load distribution, wing and tail arrangement, and control disposition on the spin characteristics of airplanes. The standard series of tests was repeated to determine the effect of airplane relative density. Tests were made at values of the relative-density parameter of 6.8, 8.4 (basic), and 12.0; and the results were analyzed. The test… more

Investigation at Mach number 1.91 of spreading characteristics of jet expanding from choked nozzles

Description: It is demonstrated that the temperature profiles of jets expanding into a supersonic stream are considerably smaller than the temperature profiles of jets expanding into quiescent air. The effect on the wake of varying afterbody geometry is shown to be small. The gross spreading characteristics of jets expanding from convergent and convergent-divergent nozzles in the base of a body of revolution with various boattail configurations at a Mach number of 1.91 are presented.

Investigation at Transonic Speeds of the Lateral-Control and Hinge-Moment Characteristics of a Flap-Type Spoiler Aileron on a 60 Degree Delta Wing

Description: This paper present results of an investigation of the lateral-control and hinge-moment characteristics of a 0.67 semispan flap-type spoiler aileron on a semispan thin 60 degree delta wing at transonic speeds by the reflection-plane technique. The spoiler-aileron had a constant chord of 10.29 percent mean aerodynamic chord and was hinged at the 81.9-percent-wing-root-chord station. Results indicated reasonably linear variations of rolling-moment and hinge-moment coefficients with spoiler project… more

Performance characteristics of cylindrical target-type thrust reversers

Description: From tests on cylindrical target-type thrust reversers, it was found that the reverser frontal area, lip angle, end-plate angle, and end-plate depth had important effects on reverse-thrust performance. Frontal area, reverser depth, lip angle, and end-plate angele had important effects on the spacing required for unrestricted nozzle flow. For reverse-thrust ratios greater than 64 percent, the reversed flow attached to the 7 degree cowl in quiescent air. Swept-type cylindrical reversers were gene… more
