The Pressure Distribution Over the Wings and Tail Surfaces of a PW-9 Pursuit Airplane in Flight

Description: This report presents the results of an investigation to determine (1) the magnitude and distribution of aerodynamic loads over the wings and tail surfaces of a pursuit-type airplane in the maneuvers likely to impose critical loads on the various subassemblies of the airplane structure, (2) To study the phenomenon of center of pressure movement and normal force coefficient variation in accelerated flight, and (3) to measure the normal accelerations at the center of gravity, wing-tip, and tail, i… more

Investigation of the Diaphragm-Type Pressure Cell

Description: "This report relates to various improvements in the process of manufacture of the NACA standard pressure cell. Like most pressure recording devices employing thin diaphragms, they would in general show considerable change in calibration with temperature and also some change of calibration with time or aging effect. The required diaphragm thickness and the desirable rate of mechanical magnification have been determined on the basis of several hundred tests" (p. 507).

Knock-Limited Blending Characteristics of Benzene, Toluene, Mixed Xylenes, and Cumene in an Air-Cooled Cylinder

Description: "An investigation was conducted to determine the knock-limited blending characteristics of leaded fuels containing selected aromatic fuel components (benzene, toluene, mixed xylenes, and cumene). Each of the aromatics was blended with an alkylate blending agent and with a virgin base stock. The blending characteristics of the resulting fuels were determined in a full-scale aircraft-engine cylinder" (p. 1).

Computed Performance of a Composite Engine Based on Experimental Data for a Single-Cylinder Conventional Aircraft Engine Converted to Compression-Ignition Operation

Description: Memorandum presenting a determination of the performance of a single-cylinder spark-ignition engine modified to operate on a compression-ignition cycle with a compression ratio of 8.0. Experimental data were obtained at an inlet-manifold pressure of 100 inches of mercury absolute, fuel-air ratios of 0.040 and 0.025, and engine exhaust pressures of 30 to 100 inches of mercury absolute. Results regarding single-cylinder-engine experimental data and full-scale-engine calculations are provided.

Knock-Limited Power Outputs from a CFR Engine Using Internal Coolants 3 - Four Alkyl Amines, Three Alkanolamines, Six Amides, and Eight Heterocyclic Compounds

Description: An investigation of the antiknock effectiveness of various additive-water solutions when used as internal coolants has been conducted at the NACA Cleveland laboratory. Nine compounds have been previously run in a CFR engine and the results are presented. In an effort to find a good anti-knock-coolant additive with more desirable physical properties than those of the nine compounds previously investigated, water solutions of four alkyl amines, three alkanolamines, six amides, and eight heterocyc… more

Carbon deposition of 19 fuels in an annular turbojet combustor

Description: Report presenting the effects of fuel properties and change in simulated engine operating conditions on carbon deposition in an annular turbojet combustor. The fuel properties examined included specific gravity, volumetric average boiling temperature, hydrocarbon type, and hydrogen-carbon weight ratio. The fuels included hydrocarbons of the paraffinic, olefinic, and aromatic types as well as fuel mixtures.

Correlation of laboratory smoke test with carbon deposition in turbojet combustors

Description: Report presenting a correlation of carbon deposition of 19 fuels in a turbojet combustor as a function of the boiling point and of the flame height at the sooting point of the fuels in a simple wick lamp for a particular combustor operating at a single set of conditions. Two similar investigations with different combustors, operating conditions, and nine different fuels yielded similar correlations on the same graph.

The effect of aspect ratio on the subsonic aerodynamic characteristics of wings with NACA 65(sub 1)-210 sections

Description: Report presenting the results of tests of four model wings of aspect ratios 1, 2, 4, and 6 and with NACA 65(sub 1)-210 sections. The experimental lift-curve slope is compared with predictions from theory. Results regarding lift, drag, and pitching moment, lift-curve slope, drag divergence, minimum drag, and pitching moment are provided.
