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.
