    Pulse performance analysis for small hypergolic propellant rocket engines (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Small rocket engine tests were conducted for the purpose of obtaining pulse performance data to aid in preliminary design and evaluation of attitude control systems. Both monopropellant and hypergolic bipropellant engines of thrust levels from 5 to 445 N (1 to 100 lb) were tested. The performance data for the hypergolic propellant rockets are compared with theoretical performance calculated from idealized chamber filling and evacuation characteristics. Electromechanical delays in valve response and heat transfer characteristics were found to cause substantial deviation between theoretical performance and test performance. The theoretical analysis is modified to obtain a semiempirical model for hypergolic propellant rockets.

    Velocity diagrams (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: The selection and design of velocity diagrams for axial flow turbines are considered. Application is treated in two parts which includes: (1) mean-section diagrams, and (2) radial variation of diagrams. In the first part, the velocity diagrams occurring at the mean section are assumed to represent the average conditions encountered by the turbine. The different types of diagrams, their relation to stage efficiency, and their selection when staging is required are discussed. In the second part, it is shown that in certain cases the mean-section diagrams may or may not represent the average flow conditions for the entire blade span. In the case of relatively low hub- to tip-radius ratios, substantial variations in the velocity diagrams are encountered. The radial variations in flow conditions and their effect on the velocity diagrams are considered.

    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-02-22
    Description: An exploratory test series was conducted on three types of 0.45-N (0.1 lbf) liquid hydrazine thrusters to ascertain the minimum impulse bit capability for this class of engine. The test series is described and the results are presented. The testing was performed at 21 and 145 C (70 and 300 F) while maintaining nominal 0.45 N (0.1 lbf) upstream conditions. Valve on-times as low as 0.008 sec were applied. Impulse bits were observed for thruster temperatures of 21 and 145 C (70 and 300 F), respectively.

    STOL propulsion systems (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-03-27
    Description: The selection and the characteristics of quiet, clean propulsion systems for STOL aircraft are discussed. Engines are evaluated for augmentor wing and externally blown flap STOL aircraft with the engines located both under and over the wings. Some supporting test data are presented. Optimum engines are selected based on achieving the performance, economic, acoustic, and pollution goals presently being considered for future STOL aircraft. The data and results presented were obtained from a number of contracted studies and some supporting NASA inhouse programs, most of which began in early 1972. The contracts include: (1) two aircraft and mission studies, (2) two propulsion system studies, (3) the experimental and analytic work on the augmentor wing, and (4) the experimental programs on Q-Fan. Engines are selected and discussed based on aircraft economics using the direct operating cost as the primary criterion. This cost includes the cost of the crew, fuel, aircraft, and engine maintenance and depreciation.

Noise alleviation by means of controlling the source and by means of acoustical treatment receive considerable emphasis. A STOL airplane designed for a given payload has essentially double the installed thrust of a comparable CTOL airplane. Unless compensated for during the design process, this alone will tend to increase the source noise by 3 db. The propulsive lift introduces flap impingement noise or duct and flap scrubbing noise, noise sources not present in CTOL airplanes to any significant degree. These additional noise sources are illustrated. Depending on the specific configuration, this will tend to increase the noise by several db or more. Although the propulsive lift characteristics of STOL airplanes will tend to increase source noise significantly, the proximity of STOL airfields to populated areas leads to STOL noise objectives considerably lower than those currently applicable to CTOL airplanes.

    Preliminary results of large supersonic burning combustor testing. (1972)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: A hydrogen fueled supersonic-burning combustor 18 in. in diameter, which is equivalent to that of an engine about 6 ft in diameter, was tested as a direct-connected duct at inlet conditions which simulated Mach 8 flight at 115,000 ft alt. A synthetic air consisting of oxygen with 39% nitrogen and 38% water vapor at a total temperature of 4500 deg R and a total pressure of 300 psia was supplied to the combustor inlet by a hydrazine-nitrogen tetroxide hot gas generator which maintained a uniform inlet flow Mach number of 2.8. The large combustor size required a new approach to fuel injector design. Some hydrogen was injected through flush-wall injectors, but most was injected from two rows of swept and tapered struts immersed in the flow stream. Supersonic combustion was obtained at hydrogen equivalence ratios of 0.94 without encountering thermal cho king. Wall static pressures, and the radial distribution of hydrogen, Pitot pressure, and Mach number were determined at the combustor exit.

    Effect on supersonic jet noise of nozzle plenum pressure fluctuations. (1972)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Demonstration that pressure fluctuations in the plenum chamber to a supersonic nozzle can strongly increase the noise radiated from the jet plume. The correlation shows that jet noise acoustic efficiency increases from 0.3% to 0.8% (or 4 dB) when the chamber roughness intensity increases from essentially no plenum chamber roughness to 2%. A roughness level of 2% has been observed in some turbojet engines. It is concluded that the reduction or elimination of plenum chamber pressure fluctuations may be an important method of reducing the total noise from jet engines.

    Description: Principles of operation, interplanetary orbit-to-orbit mission capabilities, technical problems, and environmental safeguards are examined for thermonuclear fusion propulsion systems. Two systems examined include (1) a fusion-electric concept in which kinetic energy of charged particles from the plasma is converted into electric power (for accelerating the propellant in an electrostatic thrustor) by the van de Graaf generator principle and (2) the direct fusion rocket in which energetic plasma lost from the reactor has a suitable amount of added propellant to obtain the optimum exhaust velocity. The deuterium-tritium and the deuterium/helium-3 reactions are considered as suitable candidates, and attention is given to problems of cryogenic refrigeration systems, magnet shielding, and high-energy particle extraction and guidance.

    Description: Maximum propellant utilization in a mercury electron-bombardment thrustor is evaluated. The primary-electron region in the ion chamber of a bombardment thrustor is analyzed at maximum utilization. Both the analysis and experimental data from a range of ion-chamber configurations show a nearly constant loss rate for un-ionized propellant at maximum utilization over a wide range of total propellant flow rate. The discharge loss level of 1000 eV/ion was used to define maximum utilization. The exact level of this definition has no effect on the qualitative results and little effect on the quantitative results. The results obtained are particularly significant whenever efficient throttled operation is required.

    Comparison of advanced propulsion concepts for deep space exploration. (1972)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Equations and charts are presented which permit rapid estimation of propulsion system performance requirements for some typical deep space missions. The simplicity results from use of gravity-free equations of motion, which are shown to yield good approximations to trip times obtained with solar gravity and planetary motion included. The agreement is satisfactory for missions that do not enter or depart from low orbits about the major planets. A number of advanced propulsion concepts for which performance estimates are available are compared with respect to their capability for fly-by, rendezvous, and round-trip planetary missions. Based on these estimates, the gas-core nuclear fission rocket and the pulsed fusion rocket yield the fastest trip times to the near planets. For round trips to Jupiter and beyond, the controlled fusion rocket shows progressively superior capabilities. Several propulsion concepts based on use of impinging laser beams are found to be noncompetitive with the other advanced concepts for deep space missions.

    Description: Studies were conducted to determine the factors which are significant in advancing propulsion technology. The studies surveyed a wide distribution of variables including aircraft configuration, payload, range, and speed. System studies placed major emphasis on reducing noise and exhaust emissions while attaining good economies and performance. An engine for an advanced transport will probably superficially resemble the presently emerging generation of modern high-bypass and high-temperature turbofan engines, but would incorporate the advances in component and system technology identified by the propulsion system studies. These advances could be used to improve aircraft economics significantly with no increase in noise, or to significantly reduce noise and pollution with few or no economic penalties.

    Description: Review of some chemical propulsion technology advances suitable for future unmanned spacecraft applications. Discussed system varieties include liquid space-storable propulsion systems, advanced liquid monopropellant systems, liquid systems for rendezvous and landing applications, and low-thrust high-performance solid-propellant systems, as well as hybrid space-storable systems. To optimize the performance and operational characteristics of an unmanned interplanetary spacecraft for a particular mission, and to achieve high cost effectiveness of the entire system, it is shown to be essential that the type of spacecraft propulsion system to be used matches, as closely as possible the various requirements and constraints. The systems discussed are deemed to be the most promising candidates for some of the anticipated interplanetary missions.

    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Results from the postflight analysis of the ascent propulsion system (APS) performance during the Apollo 15 mission are presented. The duty cycle for the LM-10 APS consisted of two firings, and ascent stage liftoff from the lunar surface and the terminal phase ignition (TPI) burn. An evaluation was made of APS performance for the first firing and found to be satisfactory. No propulsion data was received from the second APS burn; however, all indications were that the burn was nominal. All performance parameters were well within their LM-10 3-sigma limits. Calculated throat erosion at engine cutoff for the LM-10 APS was approximately 3 percent greater than predicted.

Computations were made using standard engineering analysis techniques. Terminal stage parachutes were sized to provide equilibrium descent velocities for water entry that are presently thought to be acceptable without developing loads that could exceed the boosters structural integrity. The performance characteristics of the aerodynamic parachute decelerator devices considered are based on analysis and prior test results for similar configurations and are assumed to be maintained at the scale requirements of the present problem.

    Description: Compressive surface layers were formed on hot-pressed silicon carbide and nitride. The objective of these treatments was to improve the impact resistance of these materials at 1590 K (2400 F). Quenching was used to form compressive surface layers on silicon carbide. The presence of the compressive stresses was demonstrated by slotted rod tests. Compressive stresses were retained at elevated temperatures. Improvements in impact resistance at 1590 K (2400 F) and flexural strength at room temperature were achieved using cylindrical rods 3.3 mm (0.13 in.) in diameter. Carburizing treatments were used to form the surface layers on silicon nitride. In a few cases using rectangular bars improvements in impact resistance at 1590 K (2400 F) were observed.

    Description: The materials research effort conducted in support of a NASA-sponsored biowaste resistojet development program is summarized. The resistojet concept under development is the concentric tube design wherein the final pass of the gases through the thruster is through the resistance heated center tube. To produce high specific impulses, this center tube must operate at very high temperatures and it is this element that is most critical in the design. Because of the corrosive nature of the biowaste gases at high temperature, and because of the limited data available for many potential materials, the subject materials study was conducted.

    Flight investigation of an air-cooled plug nozzle with afterburning turbojet (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A convectively cooled plug nozzle, using 4 percent of the engine air as the coolant, was tested in 1967 K (3540 R) temperature exhaust gas. No significant differences in cooling characteristics existed between flight and static results. At flight speeds above Mach 1.1, nozzle performance was improved by extending the outer shroud. Increasing engine power improved nozzle efficiency considerably more at Mach 1.2 than at 0.9. The effect of nozzle pressure ratio and secondary weight flow on nozzle performance are also presented.

    Cold-air investigation of a turbine for high-temperature-engine application. 4: Two-stage turbine performance (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The efficiency of a two-stage turbine is discussed. The turbine efficiency was 0.932 for equivalent design operating conditions (speed) and specific work, which compares closely to the value of 0.929 that would be estimated using the first-stage efficiency. The mass flow obtained with the two-stage configuration indicated that the mass flow characteristics of the two stages were closely matched at design operating conditions. The stage work split at these conditions was 0.505-0.495, which was close to the design work split of 0.515-0.485.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Fabrication and microstructure control studies were conducted on SiC, Si3N4, and composites based on these compounds. Charpy mode impact testing to 2400 F established that beta-spodumene, lithium aluminum silicate, coated Si3N4, Si3N4 derived from alpha-Si3N4 powder, and SiC containing 5-25 v/o chopped C fibers had the most promising strengths. Several other composite systems had excellent microstructures and could prove interesting materials in the future. Stress-rupture testing on Si3N4 established that increasing 2000 F - 100 hour strengths were obtained for increasing grain size to at least 5 micrometers, increasing density and possibly increasing phase purity. These parameters became less important at 2400 F where it is thought a grain boundary phase controls strength.

    Comparison of advanced propulsion concepts for deep space exploration (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Equations and charts are presented that permit rapid estimation of propulsion-system performance requirements for some typical deep-space missions. A number of advanced propulsion concepts for which performance estimates are available are compared with respect to their capability for flyby, rendezvous, and roundtrip planetary missions. Based on these estimates, the gas-core nuclear fission rocket and the pulsed fusion rocket yield the fastest trip times to the near planets. For round trips to Jupiter and beyond, the controlled fusion rocket shows progressively superior capabilities. Several propulsion concepts based on use of impinging laser beams are found to be noncompetitive with the other advanced concepts for deep space missions. Requirements for attainment of interstellar distances within a human lifetime are found to be some orders of magnitude beyond the capabilities of any propulsion concepts for which performance estimates are now possible.

    Factors affecting altitude relight performance of a double-annular ram-induction combustor (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A test program was conducted to evaluate the altitude relight capabilities of a short-length, double-annular, ram-induction combustor which was designed for Mach 3 cruise operation. The use of distorted inlet-air flow profiles was tried to evaluate their effect on the relight performance. No significant improvement in altitude relight performance was obtained with this approach. A study was also made to determine the effects of the reference Mach number, the fuel temperature, and the fuel volatility (ASTM-A1 against JP-4) on the altitude relight performance. Decreasing the reference Mach number, increasing the fuel temperature, and using more volatile fuel all decrease the combustor pressure necessary for relight.

    Description: Engine design studies for future subsonic commercial transport aircraft were conducted in parallel with airframe studies. These studies surveyed a broad distribution of design variables, including aircraft configuration, payload, range, and speed, with particular emphasis on reducing noise and exhaust emissions without severe economic and performance penalties. The results indicated that an engine for an advanced transport would be similar to the currently emerging turbofan engines. Application of current technology in the areas of noise suppression and combustors imposed severe performance and economic penalties.

    Description: The JANNAF turbulent boundary layer (TBL) computer program, applicable to rocket nozzles, requires a wall temperature distribution among other input parameters to determine boundary layer behavior, heat transfer, and performance degradation. The inclusion of a complete regenerative cooling cycle model with associate geometry, material and fluid property data provides a capability to internally calculate wall temperature profiles on the hot gas and coolant flow-side, as well as the coolant flow bulk temperature variation. Besides the regular heat transfer and performance degradation calculations, the new concept can be used to optimize the cooling cycle, flow requirements, and cooling jacket geometry.

    Description: Results of an experimental evaluation of the dynamic stability of a candidate combustor for the space storable propellants gaseous OF2/B2H6 show that the combustor is unstable without supplementary damping. A computer analysis indicated that the uninhibited engine could be unstable. The experiments, conducted with O2/C2H4 substitute propellants and with 70-30 FLOX/B2H6 (OF2 simulated with FLOX), show that the uninhibited combustor has a low stability margin to starting transient perturbations, but that is relatively insensitive to bomb disturbances. Damping cavities are shown to provide stability.

    Description: Digital computer control of a mixed-compression inlet is discussed. The inlet was terminated with a choked orifice at the compressor face station to dynamically simulate a turbojet engine. Inlet diffuser exit airflow disturbances were used. A digital version of a previously tested analog control system was used for both normal shock and restart control. Digital computer algorithms were derived using z-transform and finite difference methods. Using a sample rate of 1000 samples per second, the digital normal shock and restart controls essentially duplicated the inlet analog computer control results. At a sample rate of 100 samples per second, the control system performed adequately but was less stable.

    Drive turbine systems for 20-inch turbofan simulators. 1: Duct turbine design (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A study was made to evolve the turbine drive systems for 20-inch turbofan engine simulators. The fan designs used in the simulators included single-stage and two-stage configurations that covered a wide range of rotative speed and power requirement. The objective assumed for the study was to evolve one core turbine design that could drive all of the single-stage fans and, when operated in combination with one duct turbine design, drive all of the two-stage fans. The duct turbine power output is then needed to determine the make-up power required of the core turbine over the range of two-stage fan operating conditions. The duct turbine design analysis is reported and includes the selection of the duct turbine velocity diagram, a description of the blade design, and a determination of its off-design performance. Adjustable stators were found to be quite advantageous to the duct turbine off-design operation. The use of adjustable stators enabled the duct turbine to accommodate fan mass flow at all operating points and caused the duct turbine power output to increase as the total power requirement increased. This in turn resulted in a core turbine make-up power requirement that was not significantly greater than that required for driving the single-stage fans.

    Pulse performance analysis for small hypergolic-propellant rocket engines (1972)

    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Small rocket engine tests were conducted for the purpose of obtaining pulse performance data to aid in preliminary design and evaluation of attitude control systems. Both monopropellant and hypergolic bipropellant engines of thrust levels from 1 to 100 lbs were tested. The performance data for the hypergolic propellant rockets are compared with theoretical performance calculated from idealized chamber filling and evacuation characteristics. Electromechanical delays in valve response and heat transfer characteristics were found to cause substantial deviation between theoretical and test performance. The theoretical analysis is modified to obtain a semi-empirical model for hypergolic propellant rockets which is demonstrated to be reasonably accurate for two different engine configurations over a considerable range of duty cycles.

    Space tug propulsion system failure mode, effects and criticality analysis (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: For purposes of the study, the propulsion system was considered as consisting of the following: (1) main engine system, (2) auxiliary propulsion system, (3) pneumatic system, (4) hydrogen feed, fill, drain and vent system, (5) oxygen feed, fill, drain and vent system, and (6) helium reentry purge system. Each component was critically examined to identify possible failure modes and the subsequent effect on mission success. Each space tug mission consists of three phases: launch to separation from shuttle, separation to redocking, and redocking to landing. The analysis considered the results of failure of a component during each phase of the mission. After the failure modes of each component were tabulated, those components whose failure would result in possible or certain loss of mission or inability to return the Tug to ground were identified as critical components and a criticality number determined for each. The criticality number of a component denotes the number of mission failures in one million missions due to the loss of that component. A total of 68 components were identified as critical with criticality numbers ranging from 1 to 2990.

    Analysis of a supersonic-combustion rocket concept (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A preliminary analysis has been made of a supersonic-combustion rocket engine concept using hydrogen and oxygen propellants. The ejector action of a separate small rocket motor is employed to pump the propellants to high stagnation pressures and supersonic velocities. Therefore complicated heavy turbopumps are eliminated and cooling problems of a sonic throat are reduced. The results of the study show that vacuum specific impulse levels as high as a conventional rocket having the same chamber pressure as the drive motor are possible. The supersonic-combustion rocket would be an attractive alternate for a high-altitude low-thrust conventional rocket operating with a pressure feed propellant system. It would also be a convenient technique for obtaining extremely high thrusts without the need for developing corresponding large turbopumps.

    Precomputed state dependent digital control of a nuclear rocket engine (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A control method applicable to multiple-input multiple-output nonlinear time-invariant systems in which desired behavior can be expressed explicitly as a trajectory in system state space is developed. The precomputed state dependent control method is basically a synthesis technique in which a suboptimal control law is developed off-line, prior to system operation. This law is obtained by conducting searches at a finite number of points in state space, in the vicinity of some desired trajectory, to obtain a set of constant control vectors which tend to return the system to the desired trajectory. These vectors are used to evaluate the unknown coefficients in a control law having an assumed hyperellipsoidal form. The resulting coefficients constitute the heart of the controller and are used in the on-line computation of control vectors. Two examples of PSDC are given prior to the more detailed description of the NERVA control system development.

    Effects of high combustion chamber pressure on rocket noise environment (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The acoustical environment for a high combustion chamber pressure engine was examined in detail, using both conventional and advanced theoretical analysis. The influence of elevated chamber pressure on the rocket noise environment was established, based on increase in exit velocity and flame temperature, and changes in basic engine dimensions. Compared to large rocket engines, the overall sound power level is found to be 1.5 dB higher, if the thrust is the same. The peak Strouhal number shifted about one octave lower to a value near 0.01. Data on apparent sound source location and directivity patterns are also presented.

    Upper-stage space shuttle propulsion by means of separate scramjet and rocket engines (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A preliminary mission study of a reusable vehicle from staging to orbit indicates payload advantages for a dual-propulsion system consisting of separate scramjet and rocket engines. In the analysis the scramjet operated continuously and the initiation of rocket operation was varied. For a stage weight of 500,000 lb the payload was 10.4 percent of stage weight or 70 percent greater than that of a comparable all-rocket-powered stage. When compared with a reusable two-state rocket vehicle having 50,000 lb payload, the use of the dual propulsion system for the second stage resulted in significant decreases in lift-off weight and empty weight, indicating possible lower hardware costs.

    Preliminary experiments on the noise generated by target-type thrust reverser models (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Experiments are reported on the noise generated by model V-gutter and semicylindrical target-type reversers with circular nozzles. Nozzles were 5.24 and 7.78 cm in diameter. Nozzle pressure ratio ranged from 1.25 to 1.72. The spacing between reversers and nozzle, as well as the reverser orientation, was also varied. More noise was generated with reversers than with the nozzle alone. The measured maximum overall sound pressure level varied with the sixth power of the nozzle exit velocity. Noise levels were more uniform in regard to directivity with reversers than with the nozzle alone. It is concluded that thrust reversers, can be a significant noise problem, especially for STOL aircraft using thrust reversers during approach.

    Static performance of a 13.97 cm (5.5 inch) diameter model VTOL lift fan (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A tip-turbine-driven fan of the type currently being used in wind tunnel tests of VTOL lift fan models was tested. Values of thrust, weight flow, exit total and static pressure, exit swirl angle, and turbine temperature drop were measured as a function of fan speed for several inlet and exit configurations. A standard fan performance map was also obtained.

    Dynamics of a supersonic inlet-engine combination subjected to disturbances in fuel flow and inlet overboard bypass airflow (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: An axisymmetric mixed-compression supersonic inlet and a single-spool turbojet engine were dynamically tested at Mach 2.5. The propulsion system was subjected to sweep-frequency sinusoidal disturbances of either inlet overboard bypass airflow. The disturbances were at a logarithmic sweep rate of 1 decade per minute. Dynamic responses were taken of signals throughout the propulsion system. Selected signals were reduced relative to the prime propulsion system parameters. The experimental data are presented in Bode plots. Most of the plots are for a frequency range of 1.0 to 50 hertz.

    Comparison of the effect of two damper sizes on the performance of a low-solidity axial-flow transonic compressor rotor (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The experimental performance of a 20-inch-diameter axial-flow transonic compressor rotor with small dampers is presented. The compressor rotor was tested earlier with large dampers which were twice in size, and comparisons of overall performance and radial distributions of selected flow and performance parameters are made. The rotor with small dampers experienced lower losses in the damper region which resulted in locally higher values of temperature rise efficiency and total pressure ratio. However, there was no appreciable effect on overall efficiency and pressure ratio. A greater stall margin was measured for the rotor with small dampers at design speed, but at 70 and 90 percent of design speed the rotor with large dampers had somewhat greater flow range.

    Design and test of porous-tungsten mercury vaporizers (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: New design requirements for porous plug-type vaporizers used with Kaufman thrusters and thruster arrays are discussed. The results of testing samples of porous tungsten for mercury flow rate, liquid intrusion pressure level, and mechanical strength are presented. Nitrogen gas was used instead of mercury vapor for approximate calibration. Liquid intrusion pressure levels will require that flight thruster systems with long feedlines have restrictions in the dynamic line during launch.

    Single-stage evaluation of highly-loaded high-Mach-number compressor stages 5. Data and performance of baseline, corner-blow wall suction and combined corner blow wall suction stator (1972)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A single-stage compressor with a rotor tip speed of 1600 ft/sec and a 0.5 hub tip ratio was used to investigate the effects of several stator endwall treatment methods on stage range and performance. These endwall treatment methods consisted of stator corner-blow, annular wall suction upstream of stator leading edge, and combined corner-blow and annular wall suction. The overall stage performance with corner blow was essentially the same as the baseline performance. The performance for the annular wall suction and the combined corner-blow and wall suction showed a reduction in peak efficiency of 2.5 percentage points compared to the baseline data.
