Measurement of Large, High-Frequency, Short-Pulse Currents Using a Radial Shunt

Description: Abstract: "The measurement of large, high-frequency, short-pulse currents--ordinarily complicated by inductance, stray magnetic fields, and magnetic forces that tend to disassemble the measuring device--is simplified and made with an average error of 2-1/2% by the use of a specially developed noninductive radial shunt in conjuntion with an oscilloscope. The skin-effect correction is derived theoretically and the accuracy of the method is demonstrated."

Effect of Inlet-Guide-Vane Angle on Blade Vibration and Rotating Stall of 13-Stage Axial-Flow Compressor in Turbojet Engine

Description: Report presenting a blade-vibration and rotating-stall survey on a modified version of a production turbojet engine with a 13-stage axial-flow compressor with a design pressure ratio of 7 and an air flow of 120 pounds per second. This testing was carried out due to the problems rotating stall can cause with both experimental and production axial-flow compressors. Results regarding the rotating-stall patterns, rotor-blade vibrations, radial and axial strength of rotating stall, and maximum rotat… more

A Simplified Method for Approximating the Transient Motion in Angles of Attack and Sideslip During a Constant Rolling Maneuver

Description: "The transient motion in angles of attack and sideslip during a constant rolling maneuver has been analyzed. Simplified expressions are presented for the determination of the pertinent modes of motion as well as the modal coefficient corresponding to each mode. Calculations made with and without the derivatives for side force due to sideslip and lift-curve slope indicate that although these derivatives increase the total damping of the system they do not markedly affect the transient motion" (p… more

Hazardous Materials - Redox Plant

Description: The Redox process uses or produces only a very few materials that are hazardous for reasons other than radioactivity. The conditions under which these materials become hazardous were carefully taken into consideration in the development of the process and design of the equipment. A considerable about of information on the hazardous properties of the process materials was obtained so that the pertinent material could be incorporated into the process specifications. Providing the equipment is ope… more

Effect of Inlet-Guide-Vane Angle on Performance Characteristics of a 13-Stage Axial-Flow Compressor in a Turbojet Engine

Description: Report presenting the effect of adjusting compressor inlet-guide-vane angle on overall compressor performance, stage performance, engine thrust, and specific fuel consumption in a 7000-pound-thrust turbojet engine. Data was obtained at several angles and demonstrated that increasing the guide-vane angle decreased the weight flow at the higher compressor speeds. It had no effect on stage performance other than at the first stage, where it reduced maximum flow, pressure, and temperature coefficie… more

Temperatures in a J47-25 turbojet-engine turbine section during steady-state and transient operation in an altitude test stand

Description: Report presenting a J47-25 engine instrumented with thermocouples and operated under steady-state and transient-conditions in an altitude test stand to determine the operating temperatures at altitude in the turbine section of a turbojet engine. Results regarding the temperature effects and transient operation are provided.

Investigation of two-stage counterrotating compressor I : design and over-all performance of transonic first compressor stage

Description: Report presenting a highly loaded transonic rotor which was designed, built, and tested as part of a two-stage counterrotating-compressor research program. The design conditions were chosen to explore the upper limits of loading and Mach number for the transonic unit. The complete rotor design procedure is presented as well as the recorded stall traces and techniques for obtaining the data.

Gas-turbine-engine performance when heat from liquid-cooled turbines is rejected ahead of, within, or behind main compressor

Description: Report discussing methods, advantages, and disadvantages of locating rotating heat exchangers ahead of, within, and behind the main engine compressor. Heat rejection should occur at the compressor discharge for best engine performance. Results regarding turbojet-engine performance, turboprop-engine performance, and a comparison of engine performance with liquid- and air-cooling are provided.
