Cooperation with US Geological Survey

Description: This is a reference made to a memorandum about the cooperation between the Hanford Site and the US Geological Survey. The US Geological Survey was at the site to work with Hanford on geological problems the site was having. They worked together to locate the water supply wells of the site which would be coordinated with the drilling program. They also worked together on the possible contamination to the 300 and 3000 area wells. (MB)

Preliminary Results of Natural Icing of an Axial-Flow Turbojet Engine

Description: Memorandum presenting a flight investigation in natural icing conditions to determine the effect of ice formations on the performance of an axial-flow turbojet engine. Tail-pipe temperature increased from 761 to 1065 degrees Fahrenheit and the jet thrust decreased from 1234 to 910 pounds during a period of 45 minutes in icing. No general conclusions can be reached from the data because the icing condition was relatively light.

Preliminary results of natural icing of an axial-flow turbojet engine

Description: Report presenting a flight investigation in natural icing conditions to determine the effect of ice formations on the performance of an axial-flow turbojet engine. Results regarding the tail-pipe temperature, engine jet thrust, and characteristics of ice formation are provided. No general conclusions can be reached from the data because the icing condition was relatively light.

Preliminary Results of an Altitude-Wind-Tunnel Investigation of an Axial-Flow Gas Turbine-Propeller Engine 5 - Combustion-Chamber Characterisitcs

Description: "An investigation to determine the performance and operational characteristics of an axial-flow gas turbine-propeller engine was conducted in the Cleveland altitude wind tunnel. As part of this investigation, the combustion-chamber performance was determined at pressure altitudes from 5000 to 35,000 feet, compressor-inlet ram-pressure ratios of 1.00 and 1.09, and engine speeds from 8000 to 13,000 rpm. Combustion-chamber performance is presented as a function of corrected engine speed and correc… more

Altitude-Wind-Tunnel Investigation of a 4000-Pound-Thrust Axial-Flow Turbojet Engine. 2 - Operational Characteristics

Description: From Summary: "An investigation was conducted in the Cleveland altitude wind tunnel to determine the operational characteristics of an axial flow-type turbojet engine with a 4000-pound-thrust rating over a range of pressure altitudes from 5,000 to 50,000 feet, ram pressure ratios from 1.00 to 1.86, and temperatures from 60 deg to -50 deg F. The low-flow (standard) compressor with which the engine was originally equipped was replaced by a high-flow compressor for part of the investigation. The e… more

Preliminary Results of Nene Ii Engine Altitude-Chamber Performance Investigation 3 - Altitude Performance Using 18.00-Inch-Diameter Jet Nozzle

Description: "An investigation is being conducted to determine the altitude performance characteristics of the Nene II engine and its components. The present paper presents the preliminary results obtained using jet nozzle 18.00 inches in diameter, with an area equal to 92.2 percent of the area of the standard jet nozzle for this engine. The experimental results presented are for conditions simulating altitudes from 20,000 to 60,000 feet and ram-pressure ratios from 1.1 to 3.5" (p. 1).

Investigation of X24C-2 10-Stage Axial-Flow Compressor 3 - Surge Characteristics

Description: Compressor operation at low air flows for a given speed is limited by unstable flow conditions, commonly called surge. An investigation of surge in centrifugal compressors (reference 1) showed that the pulsation of pressures and velocities occurred when the slope of the compressor characteristic curve was positive and that the magnitude and frequency, as well as the incidence of surge, depended on the capacity and resistance of the total system. Although the theory presented in reference 1 is a… more
