Knock-limited Performance Tests of 2,2,3,4-tetramethylpentane, 2,3,3,4-tetramethylpentane, 3,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene, and 2,3,4-trimethyl-2-pentene in Small-scale and Full-scale Cylinders


Book Description

Knock-limited tests were conducted with F-4, F-3, and 17.6 small-scale engines and with a full-scale cylinder on blends containing the following purified hydrocarbons: 2,2,3,4-tetramethylpentane, 2,3,3,4-tetramethylpentane, 3,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene, and 2,3,4-trimethyl-2-pentene.




Knock-limited Performance of Several Branched Paraffins and Olefins


Book Description

At mild or moderate engine severity, 2,2,3,3-tetramethylpentane blend was highest in knock limit of the paraffins tested, but at severe conditions it was lowest; at severe (F-3) conditions, triptane blend was best.

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.

Velocity Distribution on Wing Sections of Arbitrary Shape in Compressible Potential Flow


Book Description

The method of computing velocity and pressure distributions along wing profiles under the assumption of the simplified density-speed relation, outlined in NACA Technical Note 1006, is extended to the case of a nonsymmetrical profile and a flow with circulation. The shape of the profile, the speed of the undisturbed flow, and a parameter determing the angle of attack may be prescribed. The problem is reduced to a nonlinear integral equation which can be solved numerical by an iteration method. A numerical example is given.
