Dynamic Response of Turbine-Blade Temperature to Exhaust-Gas Temperature for Gas-Turbine Engines

Description: "The frequency of blade temperature to exhaust gas temperature is presented for two locations in the blade and at several operating conditions. The frequency response was determined by Fourier analysis of transient data. Two analytical methods are presented, and results are compared with experimental data. Dynamic response of turbine-blade temperature to exhaust-gas temperature exhibited the form of an approximate first-order lag" (p. 1).

Skin-friction drag and boundary-layer transition on a parabolic body of revolution (NACA RM-10)at a Mach number of 1.6 in the Langley 4-by-4 foot supersonic pressure tunnel

Description: Report presenting an investigation at Mach number 1.6 and a range of Reynolds number of the skin-friction drag and boundary-layer transition of a body of revolution. The body had a parabolic-arc profile, a blunt base, and a fineness ratio of 12.2 (NACA RM-10). Results regarding the effect of surface condition, drag breakdown, and results of boundary-layer surveys are provided.

Flight Investigation From Mach Number 0.8 to 2.0 to Determine Some Effects of Wing-to-Tail Distance on the Longitudinal Stability and Control Characteristics of a 60 Degree Delta-Wing-Canard Missile

Description: Report presenting a flight investigation using rocket-powered models to determine some of the effects of wing-to-tail distance on the stability and control characteristics of a canard-missile configuration with 60 degree delta wings and control surfaces. Both models were tested over a range of Mach numbers from 0.8 to 2.0, and canard hinge moment and model drag data are presented. Testing indicated that additional fuselage length increases the lift-curve slope slightly and has very little effec… more

Preliminary Investigation of the Low-Amplitude Damping in Pitch of Tailless Delta- and Swept-Wing Configurations at Mach Numbers From 0.7 to 1.35

Description: Report presenting a flight investigation using four rocket-propelled models of low-aspect-ratio tailless configurations between Mach numbers 0.7 and 1.35. The configurations investigated were a 45 degree delta model with NACA 63A010 airfoil sections parallel to free stream, a 45 degree delta-wing model with NACA 63A006 airfoil sections parallel to free stream, a 37.5 degree swept-tapered wing model with NACA 64(sub 1)A012 sections perpendicular to quarter chord, and a 39 degree swept-tapered-wi… more

Temperature response of turbine-blade metal covered with oxide coatings supplied by fuel additives

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the effects of turbine-blade coatings, supplied by fuel additives, on heat transfer with combustor exhaust gases to an S-816 alloy blade. Two fuel additives were used. The results indicated that the fuel additives provided an oxide coating on the combustor-liner wall and other metal parts, including the blade, exposed to the exhaust gas.

Investigation at Transonic Speeds of the Effect of a Positive-Lift Balancing Tab on the Hinge-Moment and Lift-Characteristics of a Full-Span Flap on a Tapered 45 Degrees Sweptback Wing of Aspect Ratio 3

Description: Report presenting an investigation at transonic speeds to determine the control characteristics of a linked tab and flap. The control device consisted of an auxiliary lifting surface (tab) mounted on the end of a boom which was linked to a full-span flap. The tab was found to be capable of reducing the flap hinge moment to zero through the angle of attack and Mach number range tested.

Friction and surface damage of several corrosion-resistant materials

Description: Friction and surface damage of several materials that are resistant to corrosion due to liquid metals was studied in air. The values of kinetic friction coefficient at low sliding velocities and photomicrographs of surface damage were obtained. Appreciable surface damage was evident for all materials tested. The friction coefficients for the combinations of steel, stainless steel, and monel sliding against steel, stainless steel, nickel, Iconel, and Nichrome ranged from 0.55 for the monel-Incon… more

Relative Cross Sections for Photo Fission and Photo Neutron Emission

Description: Abstract: The yields of U²³⁷ and a fission product were measured as a function of maximum betatron energy, The ratio of the number of fissions divided by the number of U²³⁷ atoms increases with increasing maximum betatron energy. This is consistent with the picture that the higher-energy gammas leave the U²³⁷ atoms with enough excitation energy (above photofission and photoneutron thresholds) to also decay by fission or neutron emission. This secondary process increases the number of fissions a… more
