The Effect of Water Vapor on Flame Velocity in Equivalent Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen Mixtures

Description: This report presents the results of an investigation to study the effect of water vapor upon the spatial speed of flame in equivalent mixtures of carbon monoxide and oxygen at various total pressures from 100 to 780 mm.hg. These results show that, within this pressure range, an increase in flame speed is produced by increasing the mole fraction of water vapor at least as far as saturation at 25 degrees c., and that the rate of this increase is greater the higher the pressure. It is evident that… more

The Soap-Bubble Method of Studying the Combustion of Mixtures of Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen

Description: This investigation is a detailed description of the soap-bubble, or constant-pressure, method as applied to the explosive oxidation of carbon monoxide. A series of values of the speed of flame in space in various mixtures of CO and O2 containing a constant percentage of water vapor was obtained by the constant-volume method. These results served as a guide in the perfection of the soap-bubble method.

Investigation of Full-Scale Split Trailing-Edge Wing Flaps With Various Chords and Hinge Locations

Description: This report gives the results of an investigation conducted in the NACA full-scale wind tunnel on a small parasol monoplane equipped with three different split trailing-edge wing flaps. The object of the investigation was to determine and correlate data on the characteristics of the airplane and flaps as affected by variation in flap chord, flap deflection, and flap location along the wing chord. The results give the lift, the drag, and the pitching moment characteristics of the airplane, and t… more
