Aerodynamic Design of Axial-Flow Compressors, Volume 2

Description: "Available experimental two-dimensional-cascade data for conventional compressor blade sections are correlated. The two-dimensional cascade and some of the principal aerodynamic factors involved in its operation are first briefly described. Then the data are analyzed by examining the variation of cascade performance at a reference incidence angle in the region of minimum loss" (p. 1).

Aerodynamic design of axial-flow compressors: Volume 3

Description: Chapters XI to XIII concern the unsteady compressor operation arising when compressor blade elements stall. The fields of compressor stall and surge are reviewed in Chapters XI and XII, respectively. The part-speed operating problem in high-pressure-ratio multistage axial-flow compressors is analyzed in Chapter XIII. Chapter XIV summarizes design methods and theories that extend beyond the simplified two-dimensional approach used previously in the report. Chapter XV extends this three-dimension… more

Analysis of laminar incompressible flow on semiporous channels

Description: From Introduction: "Experimental results for flow in a rectangular channel with injection through a porous wall are given in reference 1. As part of the study to guide future experiments, laminar flow in a semiporous channel is investigated herein. In the present investigation, a third-order perturbation solution for laminar incompressible flow in a semiporous channel is presented."

Attenuation in a Shock Tube Due to Unsteady-Boundary-Layer Action

Description: "A method is presented for obtaining the attenuation of a shock wave in a shock tube due to the unsteady boundary layer along the shock-tube walls. It is assumed that the boundary layer is thin relative to the tube diameter and induces one-dimensional longitudinal pressure waves whose strength is proportional to the vertical velocity at the edge of the boundary layer. The contributions of the various regions in a shock tube to shock attenuation are indicated" (p. 1).

Calculations of the flow over an inclined flat plate at free-stream Mach number 1

Description: Report presenting a numerical solution of the complete equations of inviscid compressible flow for the case of an inclined flat plate at free-stream Mach number 1. The results for the flow field show that the large changes of velocity that occur near the leading edge are confined to a surprisingly small part of the field. Results regarding the flow field and pressure distribution are provided.

Characteristics of Four Nose Inlets as Measured at Mach Numbers Between 1.4 and 2.0

Description: Note presenting the pressure recovery, mass flow, and axial force of four bodies with nose inlets measured at Mach numbers between 1.4 and 2.0 and angles of attack of 0, 3, 6, and 9 degrees. The drag coefficients of axially symmetric diffusers operating at the maximum mass-flow rates were calculated from schileren photographs of the head shock waves and frictional drag considerations. Results regarding open-nose diffusers and conical-shock diffusers are provided.

Characterization of Women in the Fiction of Nathaniel Hawthorne

Description: While his Transcendentalist contemporaries were expounding their optimistic philosophy of natural goodness, progress, and perfectibility, Hawthorne probed into the human heart, recording the darkest motives of his characters and writing bitter criticism of life. Around him men were declaring that scientific inventions, political organizations, and religious reforms were ushering in a new era; but Hawthorne viewed the new society as a probable continuation of old evils and a manufacturer of new … more

Comparison of flight and wind-tunnel measurements of high-speed-airplane stability and control characteristics

Description: Report presenting a comparison of wind-tunnel and flight-measured values of stability and control characteristics. Generally, wind tunnels were found to predict all trends of characteristics reasonably well, but there are differences in parameters for certain values.

Compressibility Factor, Density, Specific Heat, Enthalpy, Entropy, Free-Energy Function, Viscosity, and Thermal Conductivity of Steam

Description: Note presenting tables of thermal properties of stream that have been prepared in an NBS-NACA series. They include, for real gas, the compressibility factor, the density, the specific heat at constant pressure, the enthalpy, the entropy, the free-energy function, the viscosity, and the thermal conductivity.

Compressive and Torsional Buckling of Thin-Wall Cylinders in Yield Region

Description: Note presenting a general set of equilibrium differential equations for the plastic buckling of cylinders, which are based on assumptions that have led to the best agreement between theory and test data on inelastic buckling of flat plates. Test data are presented which indicate satisfactory agreement with the theoretical plasticity-reduction factors in most cases. Some of the topics addressed include compressive buckling and torsional buckling.

Concerto Grosso for Oboe, Clarinet, Piano, and String Quartet

Description: The first movement of the present work is a French overture patterned in form after the overtures of Jean Baptiste Lully. The second movement (Lento) is a simple ABA song-form and presents a rather rhapsodic development of its theme. The third movement consists of a set of six continuous variations on the polyphonic chanson Revecy venu du printans by Claude le Jeune (1528-1600). The last movement is a rondo (ABACADA).

Considerations in Selecting, Developing, and Validating Laboratory Experience Units in General Biology for Prospective Elementary School Teachers

Description: The primary purpose of this study was to develop the considerations and techniques for the selection, development, and validation of laboratory experience units in general biology for prospective elementary school teachers. The completed laboratory experience unites developed in this study may serve as resources of activities for college instructors who teach general biology to undergraduate majors in elementary education. For purposes of this study the laboratory experience unites were centere… more
