Results of Diamond Drilling Mesas 1, 2, 3, and 4, Lukachukai Mountains, Northeastern Arizona

Description: From purpose and scope: Diamond drill exploration of the Lukachukai district was undertaken to find minable bodies of uranium ore and to determine whether sufficient reserves were present to warrant construction of a local mill. A minimum of 30,000 feet and a maximum of 50,000 feet of drilling were assigned to block out ore in the discovery area, Mesa I (pl. 1.). It was anticipated that some of the footage might be used to test Mesa II should the area become accessible. With access to Mesas II … more

Adaptation of a Cascade Impactor to Flight Measurement of Droplet Size in Clouds

Description: "A cascade impactor, an instrument for obtaining the size distribution of droplets borne in a low-velocity air stream, was adapted for flight cloud droplet-size studies. The air containing the droplets was slowed down from flight speed by a diffuser to the inlet-air velocity of the impactor" (p. 1).

Spark Ignition of Flowing Gases. 2: Effect of Electrode Parameters on Energy Required to Ignite a Propane-Air Mixture

Description: From Summary: "Research was conducted to determine the effect of the electrode parameters of spacing, configuration, and material' on the energy required for ignition of a flowing propane-air mixture. In addition, the data were used to indicate the energy distribution along the spark length and to confirm previous observations concerning the effect of spark duration on ignition energy requirements. The data were obtained with a mixture at a fuel-air ratio of 0.0835 (by weight), a pressure of 3 … more

Evaluation of Centrifugal Compressor Performance With Water Injection

Description: The effects of water injection on a compressor are presented. To determine the effects of varying water-air ratio, the compressor was operated at a constant equivalent impeller speed over a range of water-air ratios and weight flows. Operation over a range of weight flows at one water-air ratio and two inlet air temperatures was carried out to obtain an indication of the effects of varying inlet air temperature. Beyond a water-air ratio of 0.03 there was no increase in maximum air-weight flow, … more

Flame velocities over a wide composition range for pentane-air, ethylene-air, and propyne-air flames

Description: Fundamental flame velocities are reported for pentane air, ethylene-air, and propylene-air mixtures for the concentration range 60 to 130 percent of stoichiometric. A form of the Tanford and Pease equation, which includes a small constant velocity term independent of diffusion, will predict the observed changes in flame velocity.

A comparison of the experimental and theoretical loading over triangular wings in sideslip at supersonic speeds

Description: The results of an experimental investigation of the load distribution over two triangular wings in sideslip at Mach numbers from 1.20 to 1.79 are presented and compared with theory. The two wings tested have identical plan form, 45 degrees sweepback of the leading edge, and an aspect ratio of 4.0. One model was composed of round-nose airfoil sections and the other of sharp-nose, biconvex sections. For both wings the maximum thickness of streamwise sections was 6 percent and was located at the 3… more

Preliminary Investigation of a Submerged Inlet and a Nose Inlet in the Transonic Flight Range With Free-Fall Models

Description: Memorandum presenting an NACA submerged inlet and an NACA series I nose inlet installed in bodies of 12.4 fineness ratio to determine the drag and pressure-recovery characteristics of each body-inlet configuration. The tests were conducted with large-scale free-fall models released at an altitude of 40,000 feet, for mass-flow ratios of about 0.4 and 0.7 over a Mach number range of about 0.70 to 1.10. Results regarding drag and ram-recovery ratios are provided.

Aerodynamic study of a wing-fuselage combination employing a wing swept back 63 degrees : effectiveness at supersonic speeds of a 30-percent chord, 50-percent semispan elevon as a lateral control device

Description: Report presenting the effectiveness of a 50-percent-semispan, constant-percent-chord elevon, and of upper-space spoilers as lateral control surfaces for a wing-fuselage combination with a wing swept back 63 degrees over a range of Mach numbers. For the elevon, results indicated that only about half of the predicted rolling-moment effectiveness was realized. The spoilers were found to be inferior to the elevons for lateral control because of a rapid loss of effectivness above an angle of attack … more
