A preliminary study of the preparation of slurry fuels from vaporized magnesium

Description: "Slurry fuels containing extremely small particles of magnesium were prepared by concentrating the dilute slurry product resulting from the shock-cooling of magnesium metal vapors with a liquid hydrocarbon spray. A complete description of the equipment and procedure used in preparing the fuel is given. Ninety-five percent by weight of the solid particles formed by this process passed through a 100-mesh screen. The particle-size distribution of the screened fraction of one run, as determined by … more

Buffeting forces on two-dimensional airfoils as affected by thickness and thickness distribution

Description: Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the effect of thickness and of thickness distribution on the fluctuations of normal-force and pitching-moment coefficients of airfoils. Seven symmetrical airfoils were tested. Two types of pressure pulsations were noted in the study: pulsations from an intermittent build-up and dropping of the pressure peak near the leading edge and pulsations attributable to shock-wave motion and unsteady air flow following the shock wave.

Analysis of Off-Design Operation of High Mach Number Supersonic Turbojet Engines

Description: From Introduction: "Because of the lack of data on compressor characteristics at 130 or 145 percent of design equivalent rotational speed, several simplifying assumptions were made regarding the compressor characteristics during operation at equivalent rotational speeds above the design value (hereinafter called "compressor overspeeding"). In addition to results based on these assumptions, the effect of deviation from these assumptions is discussed."

Results of free-flight test of 1/10-scale model of the Convair XF2Y-1 airplane between Mach numbers of 0.7 and 1.45, including power-on flight at Mach number 1.2: TED No. NACA DE 365

Description: Report presenting a scale model of the Convair XF2Y-1 airplane with a solid-fuel rocket motor designed to simulate full-scale turbojet engine characteristics with full afterburning at a Mach number 1.2 and an altitude of 35,000 feet in free flight at a maximum Mach number of 1.45. Results regarding stability characteristics, trim characteristics, and the effect of rocket exhaust over the beaches are provided.
