Investigation of stage performance of X24C-2 ten-stage axial-flow compressor at design speed

Description: The stage performance of the X24C-2 axial-flow compressor, as determined from radial distributions of total pressure and temperature measured in each stator-blade row, was investigated at design speed at weight flows corresponding to those of the maximum weight-flow, peak-efficiency, and surge points. The stage performance is presented as the measured stage pressure ratios and the calculated velocity diagrams. The average stage total-pressure ratio at the surge operating condition in the first … more

Investigation of Performance of Axial-Flow Compressor of XT-46 Turbine-Propeller Engine 1 - Preliminary Investigation at 50-,70-, and 100-Percent Design Equivalent Speed

Description: From Summary: "An investigation is being conducted to determine the performance of the 12-stage axial-flow compressor of the XT-46 turbine-propeller engine. This compressor was designed to produce a pressure ratio of 9 at an adiabatic efficiency of 0.86. The design pressure ratios per stage were considerably greater than any employed in current aircraft gas-turbine engines using this type of compressor. The compressor performance was evaluated at two stations."

A General Integral Form of the Boundary-Layer Equation for Incompressible Flow With an Application to the Calculation of the Separation Point of Turbulent Boundary Layers

Description: "A general integral form of the boundary-layer equation, valid for either laminar or turbulent incompressible boundary-layer flow, is derived. By using the experimental finding that all velocity profiles of the turbulent boundary layer form essentially a single-parameter family, the general equation is changed to an equation for the space rate of change of the velocity-profile shape parameter. The lack of precise knowledge concerning the surface shear and the distribution of the shearing stress… more

Oralloy Hydride Critical Assemblies

Description: Part I of this report covers critical-mass determinations for pseudospheres of oralloy hydride composition (approximating UH3) in 8"-thick Tu and Ni tampers and in the Tu tamper with Ni liner. The critical mass of a hydride cube in the thick Tu also is given. Data on weight and dimensional changes of hydride pieces during the period of use are included. In Part II are presented the results of Rossi time-scale measurements on the hydride assemblies. Values of alpha at delayed critical and its va… more
