Investigation of dynamic characteristics of a turbine-propeller engine

Description: Time constants that characterize engine speed response of a turbine-propeller engine over the cruising speed range for various values of constant fuel flow and constant blade angle were obtained both from steady-state characteristics and from transient operation. Magnitude of speed response to changes in fuel flow and blade angle was investigated and is presented in the form of gain factors. Results indicate that at any given value of speed in the engine cruising speed range, time constants obt… more

Characteristics of a Wedge With Various Holder Configurations for Static-Pressure Measurements in Subsonic Gas Streams

Description: The characteristics of a wedge static-pressure sensing element with various holder configurations were determined and compared with the characteristics of the conventional tube. The probes were tested over a range of Mach number from 0.3 to 0.95 and at various pitch and yaw angles. The investigation showed that the spike-mounted wedge sensing element has a pressure coefficient comparable with the conventional subsonic static-pressure probe and the pressure coefficient of the wedge varied less t… more

Altitude-Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Performance Characteristics of a J47D Prototype (RX1-1) Turbojet Engine With Variable-Area Exhaust Nozzle

Description: Performance of a J47D (RX1-1) turbojet engine equipped with afterburner, variable-area exhaust nozzle, and integrated electronic control was determined over a range of flight conditions. These data were obtained with the electronic control both operative and inoperative. For operation with scheduled exhaust nozzle area, the minimum specific fuel consumption of 1.15 pounds of fuel per hour per pound of net thrust occurred at about 7200 rpm at altitudes from 5000 to 25,000 feet at a flight Mach n… more

Feasibility Study of a Neutron Flux Bolometer

Description: Abstract: "A small low impedance flux monitoring device has been built which utilizes the heating (and consequent chance in resistance) of a boron coated platinum wire. Feasibility tests in the Argonne-GP-3 reactor indicate that it may develop into a wide range instrument, particularly useful at high flux levels. Design and constructional details of the bolometer and its associated circuits are given. The circuitry is somewhat unique since it is in effect an all electronic self-balancing bridge… more
