An analysis of a highly compounded two-stroke-cycle compression-ignition engine

Description: This report presents an analysis of a compound engine operating with manifold pressures ranging from 60 to 110 lb/sq in. absolute and discusses the effects of engine limits (peak cylinder pressure and turbine-inlet temperature) and component efficiency.

Experimental study of loop-scavenged compression-ignition cylinder for gas-generator use

Description: Report presenting an investigation of the performance and general operating characteristics of a small single-cylinder, two-stroke-cycle, loop-scavenged engine using compression ignition at low compression ratios, high inlet-manifold temperatures and high inlet-manifold and exhaust-gas pressures. Results regarding the scavenging characteristics, power output, cylinder pressures, thermal efficiency, and exhaust measurements are provided.

Direct method of design and stress analysis of rotating disks with temperature gradient

Description: A method is presented for the determination of the contour of disks, typified by those of aircraft gas turbines, to incorporate arbitrary elastic-stress distributions resulting from either centrifugal or combined centrifugal and thermal effects. The specified stress may be radial, tangential, or any combination of the two. Use is made of the finite-difference approach in solving the stress equations, the amount of computation necessary in the evolution of a design being greatly reduced by the j… more
