Experimental and Analytical Study of Balanced-Diaphragm Fuel Distributors for Gas-Turbine Engines

Description: "A method of distributing fuel equally to a plurality of spray nozzles in a gas-turbine engine by means of balanced-diaphragm fuel distributors is presented. The experimental performance of three of eight possible distributor arrangements are discussed. An analysis of all eight arrangements is included. Criterions are given for choosing a fuel-distributor arrangement to meet specific fuel-system requirements of fuel-distribution accuracy, spray-nozzle pressure variations, and fuel-system pressu… more

Penetration of Liquid Jets into a High-Velocity Air Stream

Description: Data are presented showing the penetration characteristics of liquid jets directed approximately perpendicular to a high-velocity air stream for jet-nozzle-throat diameters from 0.0135 to 0.0625 inch, air stream densities from 0.0805 to 0.1365 pound per cubic foot, liquid jet velocities from 168.1 to 229.0 feet per second and a liquid jet density of approximately 62 pounds per cubic foot. The data were analyzed and a correlation was developed that permitted the determination of the penetration … more

Measurements of the effect of trailing-edge thickness on the zero-lift drag of thin low-aspect-ratio wings

Description: Report presenting an exploratory free-flight investigation at zero lift of several rocket-powered drag-research models with tapered 4-percent-thick wings for a range of Mach numbers. Wings with an aspect ratio of 3.11 and trailing-edge thickness of 0, 1/3 maximum thickness, 2/3 maximum thickness, and 3/3 maximum thickness were tested.
