Combustion Efficiency and Altitude Operational Limits of Three Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels Having High Volumetric Energy Content in a J33 Single Combustion


Book Description

The combustion efficiency and the altitude operational limits of three liquid hydrocarbon fuels having high volumetric energy content (decalin, tetralin, and monomethylnaphthalene) were compared with an AN-F-58 fuel in a single tubular combustor from a J33 turbojet engine. The investigation covered a range of simulated engine conditions for altitudes from 20,000 to 60,000 feet; 42- to 107-percent normal rated engine speed; and a flight Mach number of 0.6. The independent effects of combustor-inlet-air temperature, pressure, and mass air flow on the combustion efficiency of the fuels were determined around a standard combustion-inlet condition.

Characteristics of Thin Triangular Wings with Triangular-tip Control Surfaces at Supersonic Speeds with Mach Lines Behind the Leading Edge


Book Description

A theoretical analysis, based on the linearized equation for supersonic flow, of characteristics of triangular-tip control surfaces on thin triangular wings. By restriction to case for which Mach lines from wing apex lie behind the leading edge, a simplified treatment was possible; results of previous work on lift of triangular wings could be used to derive expressions for lift effectiveness, pitching moment, rolling-moment effectiveness, hinge moment due to control deflection, and hinge moment due to angle of attack. Comparisons were made with two-dimensional case.
