TWO-GROUP CALCULATIONS FOR A STEEL-WATER CRITICAL EXPERIMENT AND THE APPR

Description: Two-group constants have been prepared for a range of steel-water volume ratios. A calculation of critical mass and flux distribution has been made for an existing steelwater critical experiment. In order to check the experimental critical mass the age was increased. The effect of this adjustnnent on flux distribution was noted. The critical mass and flux distribution were calculated for the clean APPR critical experiment using the adjusted curve of age vs steel- water volume ratio. The calcula… more

High-Speed Cascade Tests of a Blade Section Designed for Typical Hub Conditions of High-Flow Transonic Rotors

Description: Report discussing high-speed cascade tests made of a blade section designed for conditions typical of the hub section of high-flow transonic rotors. The intent of the testing is to provide information on the effects of local surface Mach numbers on blade performance. The test results, effect of more forward location on peak surface velocities, effect of increase in pressure-rise coefficient, effect of Mach number and pressure rise on turning angle, and a comparison of variation in momentum-loss… more

Some design implications of the effects of aerodynamic heating

Description: Report presenting an examination of creep and thermal buckling in order to determine their effect on the design of structures for high-speed aircraft. Consideration is given to the use of insulation as a means of alleviating the effect of aerodynamic heating. Creep did not appear to be a significant factor, but thermal buckling may have a substantial effect on the structural design.

Effect of Dissolved Oxygen on the Filterability of Jet Fuels for Temperatures Between 300 Degrees and 400 Degrees Fahrenheit

Description: "The effect of dissolved oxygen in the filter-clogging characteristics of three JP-4 and two JP-5 fuels was studied at 300 degrees to 400 degrees F in a bench- scale rig, employing filter paper as the filter medium. The residence time of the fuel at the high temperature was approximately 6 seconds" (p. 1).

A method for simulating the atmospheric entry of long-range ballistic missiles

Description: From Summary: "It is demonstrated with the aid of similitude arguments that a model launched from a hypervelocity gun upstream through a special supersonic nozzle should experience aerodynamic heating and resulting thermal stresses like those encountered by a long-range ballistic missile entering the earth's atmosphere. This demonstration hinges on the requirements that model and missile be geometrically similar and made of the same material, and that they have the same flight speed and Reynold… more

Experimental Drag Coefficients of Round Noses With Conical Windshields at Mach Number 2.72

Description: "An exploratory investigation at Mach number 2.72 has been made to show the decrease in the drag of a round-nose model achieved by mounting a small cone on a rod ahead of the nose. The geometric parameters which were varied were the cone-base diameter, cone angle, and rod length. All models showed large decreases in drag compared to that of the round nose alone" (p. 1).

Effects of leading-edge radius on the longitudinal stability of two 45 degree sweptback wings as influenced by Reynolds numbers up to 8.20 x 10(exp 6) and Mach numbers up to 0.303

Description: Report presenting an investigation to show the effects of systematic changes of leading-edge radius, aspect ratio, Reynolds number, and Mach number on the static longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of sweptback wings in the 19-foot pressure tunnel. Results regarding the effects of leading-edge radius and aspect ratio and effect of Reynolds number and Mach number are provided.

An investigation of string support interference on base pressure and forebody chord force at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 1.30

Description: Report presenting testing to determine the interference effects of various sting-support configurations on the base pressure and foredrag characteristics of a wing-fuselage combination with a turbulent boundary layer. The primary variable investigated was the length of the constant-diameter portion of a sting support. Results regarding the base-pressure interference and foredrag interference are provided.

Contributions on the Mechanics of Boundary-Layer Transition

Description: "The manner in which flow in a boundary layer becomes turbulent was investigated on a flat plate at wind speeds generally below 100 feet per second. Hot-wire techniques were used, and many of the results are derived from oscillograms of velocity fluctuations in the transition region. Following a presentation of the more familiar aspects of transition, there are presented the very revealing facts discovered while studying the characteristics of artificially produced turbulent spots" (p. 853).

Development of craze and impact resistance in glazing plastics by multiaxial stretching

Description: The loss of strength of cast polymethyl methacrylate plastic as a result of crazing is of considerable importance to the aircraft industry. Because of the critical need for basic information on the nature of crazing and the effects of various treatments and environmental conditions on its incidence and magnitude, an investigation of this phenomenon was undertaken. The following factors were examined: (1) the effect of stress-solvent crazing on tensile strength of polymethyl methacrylate; (2) th… more
