Analysis of Multiengine Transport Airplane Fire Records

Description: Memorandum presenting an analysis of commercial airplane fire records collected during a 10-year period ending July 1, 1948. Gasoline was found to be the initial combustible ignited in flight most frequently and is considered to be the most hazardous of the combustibles carried. Electrical-ignition sources are the most frequent flight-fire ignition source by a small margin, but the exhaust system is the most hazardous ignition source because it is so close to the lubricating and gasoline system… more

Application of the wire-mesh plotting device to incompressible cascade flows

Description: From Summary: "The methods used in the application of the wire-mesh plotting device to find the flow pattern about a cascade of airfoils in compressible inviscid flow and some mathematical checks that increase the accuracy of this application are described. Results for two typical turbine-blade cascades are shown to compare well with experimental data. A method of utilizing the wire mesh to design turbine blades with a prescribed pressure distribution in incompressible flow is presented."

Dynamics of a turbojet engine considered as a quasi-static system

Description: Report presenting a determination of the dynamic characteristics of a typical turbojet engine with a centrifugal compressor, a sonic-flow turbine-nozzle diaphragm, and a fixed-area exhaust nozzle. Results indicate that a linear differential equation for engine acceleration as a function of fuel flow and engine speed for operation near a steady-state operating condition can be written.

Electrolysis of Aluminum Solutions in a Magnetic Field

Description: This investigation is an attempt to verify the original work done by George Antonoff and Anne Rowley, and to contribute specific data on the action of a magnetic field on aluminum cells. Experiments of the type they have described have been performed and an extensive set of data has been collected. It was thought that if the results of Antonoff and Rowley could be duplicated, further investigation would be warranted. However, the experiments have produced negative results. These results are des… more

Experiments in External Noise Reduction of Light Airplanes

Description: This note is part of a program with the objective of finding practical ways of reducing the external noise level of light airplanes in order to make them less objectionable to people on the ground. The current report covers noise measurements on standard light airplanes and on similar airplanes equipped with engine mufflers, propeller reduction gears, and propellers with various numbers of blades and blade shapes. The results indicate that reductions in noise level were found to result from muf… more

Exploratory Scavenging Studies for the Decontamination of Redox Solutions

Description: From introduction: "This report is concerned with exploratory experiments designed to studies the efficiency of a number of scavengers for zirconium and niobium adsorption and to provide preliminary information on the best conditions to employ on the most satisfactory of those scavengers studied, namely Super Filtrol FO. The data in this report include data obtained through October, 1949, and are by no means considered to be final. The investigation is currently being actively continued."
