Approximate Turbulent Boundary-layer Development in Plane Compressible Flow Along Thermally Insulated Surfaces with Application to Supersonic-tunnel Contour Correction


Book Description

As an application of the method, the contour correction of supersonic nozzles for the effects of boundary-layer development is discussed from the requirement of continuity of mass flow and from the requirement of expansion- and shock-wave elimination.







Turbulent Flows and Heat Transfer


Book Description

Volume V of the High Speed Aerodynamics and Jet Propulsion series. Topics include transition from laminar to turbulent flow; turbulent flow; statistical theories of turbulence; conduction of heat; convective heat transfer and friction in flow of liquids; convective heat transfer in gases; cooling by protective fluid films; physical basis of thermal radiation; and engineering calculations of radiant heat exchange. Originally published in 1959. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.




Turbulent Flow


Book Description

Part of the Princeton Aeronautical Paperback series designed to bring to students and research engineers outstanding portions of the twelve-volume High Speed Aerodynamics and Jet Propulsion series. These books have been prepared by direct reproduction of the text from the original series and no attempt has been made to provide introductory material or to eliminate cross reference to other portions of the original volumes. Originally published in 1945. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.




Investigation of Fretting Corrosion by Microscopic Observation


Book Description

Fretting corrosion was concluded to be caused by the removal of finely divided and apparently virgin material due to inherent forces and that its primary reaction is independent of of vibratory motion or high sliding speeds. Fretting corrosion occurred to clean nonmetals and metals readily and glass microscope slides and steel balls provided an excellent method for visual studies.




Turbulent Boundary-layer Temperature Recovery Factors in Two-dimensional Supersonic Flow


Book Description

An analytical method is presented for obtaining turbulent temperature recovery factors for a thermally insulated surface in supersonic flow. The method is an extension of Squire's analysis for incompressible flow. The boundary layer velocity profile is represented by a power law and a similarity is postulated for squared-velocity the static-temperature-difference profiles.




A Method for Measuring the Product of Inertia and the Inclination of the Principal Longitudinal Axis of Inertia of an Airplane


Book Description

The angle of inclination of the principal axis was found to have probable error of plus or minus 0.17 degrees both from analysis of the error of inertia measurement of the full-scale airplane and from tests with a model having a simple configuration. Analysis showed the probable error of the inertia measurements for the test airplane to be plus or minus1.00, plus or minus 0.49, and plus or minus 0.35 percent of the true moment of inertia about the X, Y, and Z body reference axes, respectively.
