    Description: An investigation has been conducted to develop appropriate technologies for a low-NO(x), liquid-fueled combustor. The combustor incorporates an effervescent atomizer used to inject fuel into a premixing duct. Only a fraction of the combustion air is used in the premixing process. This fuel-rich mixture is introduced into the remaining combustion air by a rapid jet-shear-layer mixing process involving radial fuel-air jets impinging on axial air jets in the primary combustion zone. Computational modeling was used as a tool to facilitate a parametric analysis appropriate to the design of an optimum low-NO(x) combustor. A number of combustor configurations were studied to assess the key combustor technologies and to validate the three-dimensional modeling code. The results from the experimental testing and computational analysis indicate a low-NO(x) potential for the jet-shear-layer combustor. Key features found to affect NOx emissions are the primary combustion zone fuel-air ratio, the number of axial and radial jets, the aspect ratio and radial location of the axial air jets, and the radial jet inlet hole diameter. Each of these key parameters exhibits a low-NO(x) point from which an optimized combustor was developed Also demonstrated was the feasibility of utilizing an effervescent atomizer for combustor application. Further developments in the jet-shear-layer mixing scheme and effervescent atomizer design promise even lower NO(x) with high combustion efficiency.

    Description: The flow through the tip clearance region of a transonic compressor rotor (NASA rotor 37) was computed and compared to aerodynamic probe and laser anemometer data. Tip clearance effects were modeled both by gridding the clearance gap and by using a simple periodicity model across the ungridded gap. The simple model was run with both the full gap height, and with half the gap height to simulate a vena-contracta effect. Comparisons between computed and measured performance maps and downstream profiles were used to validate the models and to assess the effects of gap height on the simple clearance model. Recommendations were made concern- ing the use of the simple clearance model Detailed comparisons were made between the gridded clearance gap solution and the laser anemometer data near the tip at two operating points. The computed results agreed fairly well with the data but overpredicted the extent of the casing separation and underpredicted the wake decay rate. The computations were then used to describe the interaction of the tip vortex, the passage shock, and the casing boundary layer.

    Description: The goal of this program was to evaluate the low cycle fatigue behavior of an SCS-6/Ti-6Al-4V sub-component under bi-axial loading conditions at 316 C(600 F). A simulated bladed TMC disk was designed having thirty four blades representing the number that would be used in Allied Signal's JTAGG II impeller. The outer diameter of the bladed ring was 254 mm (10.0 inch) and the inner diameter 114.3 mm (4.50 inch). The outer and inner diameter of the composite zone was 177.8 mm (7.00 inch) and 127.O mm(5.00 inch) respectively. Stress analysis showed that the fatigue life of the bladed composite ring would be about 12000 cycles for the test conditions applied. A modal analysis was conducted which showed that the blades would have sufficient life margin from dynamic excitation. The arbor design was the same as that employed in the spin-to burst test of NAS3-27027. A systematic stress analysis of each part making up the arbor was undertaken to assure the design would meet the low cycle fatigue requirements of the program. The Textron Systems grooved foil-fiber process was chosen to make the SCS-6/Ti-6Al-4V core ring based on the success they had in contract NAS3-27027. Fiber buckling, however, was observed at several locations in the first ring made which rendered it unsuitable for spin testing. The fiber buckling was attributed to cracking of the graphite tooling during the consolidation process. On this basis a second ring was made but it too contained fiber buckling defects. Analysis by Textron indicated that the fiber buckling was most likely due to poor placement of the SCS-6 fiber in the etched grooves of the Ti-6Al-4V foil. This was also a contributor to the defects in the first ring. Since there was little indication of control in the process to manufacture a quality ring a third attempt at making a ring was not undertaken.

    Description: This work addresses the significant differences in compressor rotor wake mixing loss which exist in a stage environment relative to a rotor in isolation. The wake decay for a rotor in isolation is due solely to viscous dissipation which is an irreversible process and thus leads to a loss in both total pressure and efficiency. Rotor wake decay in the stage environment is due to both viscous mixing and the inviscid strain imposed on the wake fluid particles by the stator velocity field. This straining process, referred to by Smith (1993) as recovery, is reversible and for a 2D rotor wake leads to an inviscid reduction of the velocity deficit of the wake. A model for the rotor wake decay process is developed and used to quantify the viscous dissipation effects relative to those of inviscid wake stretching. The model is verified using laser anemometer measurements acquired in the wake of a transonic rotor operated in isolation and in a stage configuration at near peak efficiency and near stall operating conditions. Additional insight is provided by a time-accurate 3D Navier-Stokes simulation of the compressor stator flow field at the corresponding stage loading levels. Results from the wake decay model exhibit good agreement with the experimental data. Data from the model, laser anemometer measurements, and numerical simulations indicate that for the rotor/stator spacing used in this work, which is typical of core compressors, rotor wake straining (stretching) is the primary decay process in the stator passage with viscous mixing playing only a minor role. The implications of these results on compressor stage design are discussed.

    Description: This report compiles the various research activities conducted under the auspices of the NASA Grant NAG3-1026, "Numerical Investigation of Hot Gas Ingestion by STOVL Aircraft" during the period of April 1989 to April 1994. The effort involved the development of multigrid based algorithms and computer programs for the calculation of the flow and temperature fields generated by Short Take-off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft, while hovering in ground proximity. Of particular importance has been the interaction of the exhaust jets with the head wind which gives rise to the hot gas ingestion process. The objective of new STOVL designs to reduce the temperature of the gases ingested into the engine. The present work describes a solution algorithm for the multi-dimensional elliptic partial-differential equations governing fluid flow and heat transfer in general curvilinear coordinates. The solution algorithm is based on the multigrid technique which obtains rapid convergence of the iterative numerical procedure for the discrete equations. Initial efforts were concerned with the solution of the Cartesian form of the equations. This algorithm was applied to a simulated STOVL configuration in rectangular coordinates. In the next phase of the work, a computer code for general curvilinear coordinates was constructed. This was applied to model STOVL geometries on curvilinear grids. The code was also validated in model problems. In all these efforts, the standard k-Epsilon model was used.

    Description: A Navier-Stokes computer code is used to predict one of the ducted-fan engine acoustic modes that results from rotor-wake/stator-blade interaction. A patched sliding-zone interface is employed to pass information between the moving rotor row and the stationary stator row. The code produces averaged aerodynamic results downstream of the rotor that agree well with a widely used average-passage code. The acoustic mode of interest is generated successfully by the code and is propagated well upstream of the rotor; temporal and spatial numerical resolution are fine enough such that attenuation of the signal is small. Two acoustic codes are used to find the far-field noise. Near-field propagation is computed by using Eversman's wave envelope code, which is based on a finite-element model. Propagation to the far field is accomplished by using the Kirchhoff formula for moving surfaces with the results of the wave envelope code as input data. Comparison of measured and computed far-field noise levels show fair agreement in the range of directivity angles where the peak radiation lobes from the inlet are observed. Although only a single acoustic mode is targeted in this study, the main conclusion is a proof-of-concept: Navier-Stokes codes can be used both to generate and propagate rotor/stator acoustic modes forward through an engine, where the results can be coupled to other far-field noise prediction codes.

    Description: The aerospace industry is currently investigating the effect of installing mixer/ejector nozzles on the core flow exhaust of high-bypass-ratio turbofan engines. This effort includes both full-scale engine tests at sea level conditions and subscale tests in static test facilities. Subscale model tests are to be conducted prior to full-scale testing. With this approach, model results can be analyzed and compared with analytical predications. Problem areas can then be identified and design changes made and verified in subscale prior to committing to any final design configurations for engine ground tests. One of the subscale model test programs for the integrated mixer/ejector development was a joint test conducted by the NASA Lewis Research Center and Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. This test was conducted to study various mixer/ejector nozzle configurations installed on the core flow exhaust of advanced, high-bypass-ratio turbofan engines for subsonic, commercial applications. The mixer/ejector concept involves the introduction of largescale, low-loss, streamwise vortices that entrain large amounts of secondary air and rapidly mix it with the primary stream. This results in increased ejector pumping relative to conventional ejectors and in more complete mixing within the ejector shroud. The latter improves thrust performance through the efficient energy exchange between the primary and secondary streams. This experimental program was completed in April 1997 in Lewis' CE-22 static test facility. Variables tested included the nozzle area ratio (A9/A8), which ranged from 1.6 to 3.0. This ratio was varied by increasing or decreasing the nozzle throat area, A8. Primary nozzles tested included both lobed mixers and conical primaries. These configurations were tested with and without an outer shroud, and the shroud position was varied by inserting spacers in it. In addition, data were acquired with and without secondary flow.

    Description: Recent advances in atmospheric sciences have shown that the chemical composition of the entire atmosphere of the planet (gases and airborne particles) has been changed due to human activity and that these changes have changed the heat balance of the planet. National Research Council findings indicate that anthropogenic aerosols1 reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface. Atmospheric global models suggest that sulfate aerosols change the energy balance of the Northern Hemisphere as much as anthropogenic greenhouse gases have. In response to these findings, NASA initiated the Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Project (AEAP) to advance the research needed to define present and future aircraft emissions and their effects on the Earth's atmosphere. Although the importance of aerosols and their precursors is now well recognized, the characterization of current subsonic engines for these emissions is far from complete. Furthermore, since the relationship of engine operating parameters to aerosol emissions is not known, extrapolation to untested and unbuilt engines necessarily remains highly uncertain. Tests in 1997-an engine test at the NASA Lewis Research Center and the corresponding flight measurement test at the NASA Langley Research Center-attempted to address both issues by measuring emissions when fuels containing different levels of sulfur were burned. Measurement systems from four research groups were involved in the Lewis engine test: A Lewis gas analyzer suite to measure the concentration of gaseous species 1. including NO, NOx, CO, CO2, O2, THC, and SO2 as well as the smoke number; 2. A University of Missouri-Rolla Mobile Aerosol Sampling System to measure aerosol and particulate properties including the total concentration, size distribution, volatility, and hydration property; 3. An Air Force Research Laboratory Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer to measure the concentration of SO2 and SO3/H2SO4; and 4. An Aerodyne Research Inc. Tunable Diode Laser System to measure the concentrations of SO2, SO3, NO, NO2, CO2, and H2O. By September 1997, an F100 engine operating at several power levels at sea level and up to six simulated altitudes had been tested with commercial jet fuels with three levels of sulfur content and one military jet fuel. The data are being vigorously analyzed. A complete report is anticipated for the 1998 Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Project Annual Conference.

    Description: Highly propellant-efficient electric propulsion is being combined with advanced solar power technology to provide a non-nuclear transportation option for the human exploration of Mars. By virtue of its high specific impulse, electric propulsion offers a greater change in spacecraft velocity for each pound of propellant than do conventional chemical rockets. As a result, a mission to Mars based on solar electric propulsion (SEP) would require fewer heavy-lift launches than a traditional all-chemical space propulsion scenario would. Performance, as measured by mass to orbit and trip time, would be comparable to the NASA design reference mission for human Mars exploration, which utilizes nuclear thermal propulsion; but it would avoid the issues surrounding the use of nuclear reactors in space.

    Description: Magnetic bearings are the subject of a new NASA Lewis Research Center and U.S. Army thrust with significant industry participation, and cooperation with other Government agencies. The NASA/Army emphasis is on high-temperature applications for future gas turbine engines. Magnetic bearings could increase the reliability and reduce the weight of these engines by eliminating the lubrication system. They could also increase the DN (diameter of bearing times the rpm) limit on engine speed and allow active vibration cancellation systems to be used, resulting in a more efficient, "more electric" engine. Finally, the Integrated High Performance Turbine Engine Technology (IHPTET) program, a joint Department of Defense/industry program, identified a need for a high-temperature (1200 F) magnetic bearing that could be demonstrated in their Phase III engine. This magnetic bearing is similar to an electric motor. It has a laminated rotor and stator made of cobalt steel. Wound around the stator's circumference are a series of electrical wire coils which form a series of electric magnets that exert a force on the rotor. A probe senses the position of the rotor, and a feedback controller keeps it centered in the cavity. The engine rotor, bearings, and casing form a flexible structure with many modes. The bearing feedback controller, which could cause some of these modes to become unstable, could be adapted to varying flight conditions to minimize seal clearances and monitor the health of the system.

    Description: In a joint effort between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the NASA Lewis Research Center, a new technology was demonstrated to identify and control rotating stall and surge in a single-stage, high-speed compressor. Through the use of highvelocity, high-frequency jet injectors, the instabilities of surge and stall were controlled in a high-speed compressor rig. Through the use of active stall control, modal instabilities that normally occur in the pressure measurements prior to stall were normalized and the range of the compressor was extended. Normally the events of rotating stall and surge instabilities limit the operation of the aeroengine compressor to a region below the surge line. To enhance the performance of the compressor, the Lewis/MIT team used active stall control methods to extend the normal operation of the compressor beyond the original stall point.

    Description: Under a nonreimbursable space act agreement between the NASA Lewis Research Center and the Allison Advanced Development Company, Allison tested a lift fan nozzle in Lewis' Powered Lift Rig. This test was in support of the Joint Strike Fighter program (formerly the Joint Advanced Strike Technology) sponsored by the Department of Defense, which will develop and field an affordable, multirole, next-generation, strike fighter aircraft for the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and foreign allies. Allison, along with Pratt & Whitney Company, is part of the Lockheed Martin Corporation team that is scheduled to build a concept demonstrator aircraft by fiscal year 2001. The test was initiated in April and successfully completed in mid-July of 1997. Allison supplied a one-third-scale model of the lift fan nozzle, and Lewis provided the facility and the necessary support team. Various configurations, including pitching vectored angles ranging from 15deg forward to 60deg backward, were tested over a range of nozzle pressure ratios. Nozzle flow rates, thrust, and static pressures were measured for each of the configurations. Results from the test met the design requirements for the Joint Strike Fighter program and were in agreement with Allison's internal computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses. Data obtained from this test will also be used in the full-scale design of the lift fan system.

    Description: An external environment test for an AV-8B Harrier during hover and vertical operations was conducted at NAWCAD at Patuxent River, Maryland in July 1997. Four boundary layer rakes were instrumented with static and total pressures, and thermocouples for measuring temperatures. These rakes were installed at 30, 50, 75, and 100 foot from the hover center. The 50 ft and 100 ft rakes were offset 20 deg from the other two to minimize interference effects. In order to measure a complete flowfield footprint, it was necessary to have the Harrier change its heading relative to the rakes from 0 to 180 deg. A 20 deg increment in azimuth was used. This permitted the four rakes to measure the flowfield at 72 locations relative to the aircraft. However, as the Harrier burns fuel, the hover thrust must be reduced by the pilot in order to maintain a constant height above ground. The typical test procedure employed was: (1) vertical takeoff at an initial heading; (2) 20 second hover dwell at that heading; (3) pedal turn to a second heading, followed by a 20 second dwell hover; (4) pedal turn to a third heading, followed by a 20 second dwell hover; and (5) vertical landing at the third heading. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.

    Description: At the NASA Lewis Research Center, in cooperation with Integrated Fiber Optic Systems, Inc., an integrated fiber-optic light probe system was designed, fabricated, and tested for monitoring blade tip deflections, vibrations, and to some extent, changes in the blade tip clearances of a turbomachinery fan or a compressor rotor. The system comprises a set of integrated fiber-optic light probes that are positioned to detect the passing blade tip at the leading and trailing edges. In this configuration, measurements of both nonsynchronous blade vibrations and steady-state blade deflections can be made from the timing information provided by each light probe-consisting of an integrated fiber-optic transmitting channel and numerical aperture receiving fibers, all mounted in the same cylindrical housing. With integrated fiber-optic technology, a spatial resolution of 50 mm is possible while the outer diameter is kept below 2.5 mm. To evaluate these probes, we took measurements in a single-stage compressor facility and an advanced fan rig in Lewis' 9- by 15-Foot Low-Speed Wind Tunnel.

    Description: A static experimental investigation of a counterflow thrust vectoring nozzle concept was performed. The study was conducted in the NASA Langley Research Center Jet Exit Test Facility. Internal performance characteristics were defined over a nozzle pressure ratio (jet total to ambient) range of 3.5 to 10.0. The effects of suction collar geometry and suction slot height on nozzle performance were examined. In the counterflow concept, thrust vectoring is achieved by applying a vacuum to a slot adjacent to a primary jet that is shrouded by a suction collar. Two flow phenomena work to vector the primary jet depending upon the test conditions and configuration. In one case, the vacuum source creates a secondary reverse flowing stream near the primary jet. The shear layers between the two counterflowing streams mix and entrain mass from the surrounding fluid. The presence of the collar inhibits mass entrainment and the flow near the collar accelerates, causing a drop in pressure on the collar. The second case works similarly except that the vacuum is not powerful enough to create a counterflowing stream and instead a coflowing stream is present. The primary jet is vectored if suction is applied asymmetrically on the top or bottom of the jet.

    Description: This project was awarded for understanding the problem and developing a plan for Data Mining tools for use in designing and implementing an Engine Condition Monitoring System. Tricia Erhardt and I studied the problem domain for developing an Engine Condition Monitoring system using the sparse and non-standardized datasets to be available through a consortium at NASA Lewis Research Center. We visited NASA three times to discuss additional issues related to dataset which was not made available to us. We discussed and developed a general framework of data mining and optimization tools to extract useful information from sparse and non-standard datasets. These discussions lead to the training of Tricia Erhardt to develop Genetic Algorithm based search programs which were written in C++ and used to demonstrate the capability of GA algorithm in searching an optimal solution in noisy, datasets. From the study and discussion with NASA LeRC personnel, we then prepared a proposal, which is being submitted to NASA for future work for the development of data mining algorithms for engine conditional monitoring. The proposed set of algorithm uses wavelet processing for creating multi-resolution pyramid of tile data for GA based multi-resolution optimal search.

    Description: A three-component stress-wave force-balance for a large scramjet has been designed, calibrated and tested in the HYPULSE reflected shock tunnel at GASL Inc., New York. The scramjet model is over 3-foot long and weighs in excess of 90 Ibm. The stress-wave force-balance is comprised of three stress bars which are attached to the model. Calibration results indicate that the force balance responds well within about 1 ms and that the sensitivity of the balance to the distribution of load is not large. Results with and without fuel injection were obtained in the tunnel operated for Mach 7 and Mach 10 flight simulation. These tests showed the force-balance can resolve axial force increments due to combustion of about 40 lb in the presence of model lift forces of 500-700 lb.

    Description: A recently developed neural net-based aerodynamic design procedure is used in the redesign of a transonic turbine stage to improve its unsteady aerodynamic performance. The redesign procedure used incorporates the advantages of both traditional response surface methodology (RSM) and neural networks by employing a strategy called parameter-based partitioning of the design space. Starting from the reference design, a sequence of response surfaces based on both neural networks and polynomial fits are constructed to traverse the design space in search of an optimal solution that exhibits improved unsteady performance. The procedure combines the power of neural networks and the economy of low-order polynomials (in terms of number of simulations required and network training requirements). A time-accurate, two-dimensional, Navier-Stokes solver is used to evaluate the various intermediate designs and provide inputs to the optimization procedure. The optimization procedure yields a modified design that improves the aerodynamic performance through small changes to the reference design geometry. The computed results demonstrate the capabilities of the neural net-based design procedure, and also show the tremendous advantages that can be gained by including high-fidelity unsteady simulations that capture the relevant flow physics in the design optimization process.

    Description: Increasingly severe constraints on emissions, noise and fuel efficiency must be met by the next generation of commercial aircraft powerplants. At NASA Lewis Research Center (LeRC) a cooperative research effort with industry is underway to design and test combustors that will meet these requirements. To accomplish these tasks, it is necessary to gain both a detailed understanding of the combustion processes and a precise knowledge of combustor and combustor sub-component performance at close to actual conditions. To that end, researchers at LeRC are engaged in a comprehensive diagnostic investigation of high pressure reacting flowfields that duplicate conditions expected within the actual engine combustors. Unique, optically accessible flame-tubes and sector rig combustors, designed especially for these tests. afford the opportunity to probe these flowfields with the most advanced, laser-based optical diagnostic techniques. However, these same techniques, tested and proven on comparatively simple bench-top gaseous flame burners, encounter numerous restrictions and challenges when applied in these facilities. These include high pressures and temperatures, large flow rates, liquid fuels, remote testing, and carbon or other material deposits on combustor windows. Results are shown that document the success and versatility of these nonintrusive optical diagnostics despite the challenges to their implementation in realistic systems.

    Description: A full envelope database of a thrust-vectoring axisymmetric nozzle performance for the Pratt & Whitney Pitch/Yaw Balance Beam Nozzle (P/YBBN) is being developed using the F-15 Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles (ACTIVE) aircraft. At this time, flight research has been completed for steady-state pitch vector angles up to 20' at an altitude of 30,000 ft from low power settings to maximum afterburner power. The nozzle performance database includes vector forces, internal nozzle pressures, and temperatures all of which can be used for regression analysis modeling. The database was used to substantiate a set of nozzle performance data from wind tunnel testing and computational fluid dynamic analyses. Findings from initial flight research at Mach 0.9 and 1.2 are presented in this paper. The results show that vector efficiency is strongly influenced by power setting. A significant discrepancy in nozzle performance has been discovered between predicted and measured results during vectoring.

    Description: Calculations were performed to assess the effect of the tip leakage flow on the rate of heat transfer to blade, blade tip and casing. The effect on exit angle and efficiency was also examined. Passage geometries with and without casing recess were considered. The geometry and the flow conditions of the GE-E 3 first stage turbine, which represents a modem gas turbine blade were used for the analysis. Clearance heights of 0%, 1%, 1.5% and 3% of the passage height were considered. For the two largest clearance heights considered, different recess depths were studied. There was an increase in the thermal load on all the heat transfer surfaces considered due to enlargement of the clearance gap. Introduction of recessed casing resulted in a drop in the rate of heat transfer on the pressure side but the picture on the suction side was found to be more complex for the smaller tip clearance height considered. For the larger tip clearance height the effect of casing recess was an orderly reduction in the suction side heat transfer as the casing recess height was increased. There was a marked reduction of heat load and peak values on the blade tip upon introduction of casing recess, however only a small reduction was observed on the casing itself. It was reconfirmed that there is a linear relationship between the efficiency and the tip gap height. It was also observed that the recess casing has a small effect on the efficiency but can have a moderating effect on the flow underturning at smaller tip clearances.

    Description: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the capability to analyze the aerodynamic performance of the complete low pressure subsystem (LPS) of the Energy Efficient Engine (EEE). Detailed analyses were performed using three- dimensional Navier-Stokes numerical models employing advanced clustered processor computing platforms. The analysis evaluates the impact of steady aerodynamic interaction effects between the components of the LPS at design and off- design operating conditions. Mechanical coupling is provided by adjusting the rotational speed of common shaft-mounted components until a power balance is achieved. The Navier-Stokes modeling of the complete low pressure subsystem provides critical knowledge of component acro/mechanical interactions that previously were unknown to the designer until after hardware testing.

    Description: A multiblock Navier-Stokes analysis code for turbomachinery has been modified to allow analysis of multistage turbomachines. A steady averaging-plane approach was used to pass information between blade rows. Characteristic boundary conditions written in terms of perturbations about the mean flow from the neighboring blade row were used to allow close spacing between the blade rows without forcing the flow to be axisymmetric. In this report the multiblock code is described briefly and the characteristic boundary conditions and the averaging-plane implementation are described in detail. Two approaches for averaging the flow properties are also described. A two-dimensional turbine stator case was used to compare the characteristic boundary conditions with standard axisymmetric boundary conditions. Differences were apparent but small in this low-speed case. The two-stage fuel turbine used on the space shuttle main engines was then analyzed using a three-dimensional averaging-plane approach. Computed surface pressure distributions on the stator blades and endwalls and computed distributions of blade surface heat transfer coefficient on three blades showed very good agreement with experimental data from two tests.

    Description: Lean premixed, prevaporized (LPP) high temperature combustor designs as explored for the Advanced Subsonic Transport (AST) and High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) combustors can achieve low NO(x), emission levels. An enabling device is needed to arrest flashback and inhibit preignition at high power conditions and during transients (surge and rapid spool down). A novel flashback arrestor design has demonstrated the ability to arrest flashback and inhibit preignition in a 4.6 cm diameter tubular reactor at full power inlet temperatures (725 C) using Jet-A fuel at 0.4 less than or equal To phi less than or equal to 3.5. Several low pressure loss (0.2 to 0.4% at 30 m/s) flashback arrestor designs were developed which arrested flashback at all of the test conditions. Flame holding was also inhibited off the flash arrestor face or within the downstream tube even velocities (less than or equal to 3 to 6 m/s), thus protecting the flashback arrestor and combustor components. Upstream flow conditions influence the specific configuration based on using either a 45% or 76% upstream geometric blockage. Stationary, lean premixed dry low NO(x) gas turbine combustors would also benefit from this low pressure drop flashback arrestor design which can be easily integrated into new and existing designs.

    Description: Measurement of drag have been made in a shock tunnel on a simple integrated vehicle engine combination for hypersonic cruise with hydrogen scramjet propulsion. The test flow Mach number was 6.4, and the velocity was 2.45 kms(exp -1). Zero Drag, which is the necessary condition for cruise, was achieved as the equivalence ratio approached one. It was found that an analysis using established aerodynamic concept was adequate for predicting drag in the case of no combustion. When combustion occurred results of direct connect experiments provided was qualitative guide to the measured levels of drag, and indicated that thrust nozzle combustion was taking place. An heuristic analysis is used to point to the important effect this may have on propulsive lift.

    Description: The linear aerospike engine is being developed for single-stage -to-orbit (SSTO) applications. The primary advantages of a linear aerospike engine over a conventional bell nozzle engine include altitude compensation, which provides enhanced performance, and lower vehicle weight resulting from the integration of the engine into the vehicle structure. A feature of this integration is the ability to provide thrust vector control (TVC) by differential throttling of the engine combustion elements, rather than the more conventional approach of gimballing the entire engine. An analysis of the X-33 flight trajectories has shown that it is necessary to provide +/- 15% roll, pitch and yaw TVC authority with an optional capability of +/- 30% pitch at select times during the mission. The TVC performance requirements for X-33 engine became a major driver in the design of the engine control system. The thrust level of the X-33 engine as well as the amount of TVC are managed by a control system which consists of electronic, instrumentation, propellant valves, electro-mechanical actuators, spark igniters, and harnesses. The engine control system is responsible for the thrust control, mixture ratio control, thrust vector control, engine health monitoring, and communication to the vehicle during all operational modes of the engine (checkout, pre-start, start, main-stage, shutdown and post shutdown). The methodology for thrust vector control, the health monitoring approach which includes failure detection, isolation, and response, and the basic control system design are the topic of this paper. As an additional point of interest a brief description of the X-33 engine system will be included in this paper.

    Description: AlliedSignal Engines, in cooperation with NASA LeRC, completed an evaluation of recently developed aeroelastic computer codes using test cases from the AlliedSignal Engines fan blisk database. Test data for this task includes strain gage, light probe, performance, and steady-state pressure information obtained for conditions where synchronous or flutter vibratory conditions were found to occur. Aeroelastic codes evaluated include the quasi 3-D UNSFLO (developed at MIT and modified to include blade motion by AlliedSignal), the 2-D FREPS (developed by NASA LeRC), and the 3-D TURBO-AE (under development at NASA LeRC). Six test cases each where flutter and synchronous vibrations were found to occur were used for evaluation of UNSFLO and FREPS. In addition, one of the flutter cases was evaluated using TURBO-AE. The UNSFLO flutter evaluations were completed for 75 percent radial span and provided good agreement with the experimental test data. Synchronous evaluations were completed for UNSFLO but further enhancement needs to be added to the code before the unsteady pressures can be used to predict forced response vibratory stresses. The FREPS evaluations were hindered as the steady flow solver (SFLOW) was unable to converge to a solution for the transonic flow conditions in the fan blisk. This situation resulted in all FREPS test cases being attempted but no results were obtained during the present program. Currently, AlliedSignal is evaluating integrating FREPS with our existing steady flow solvers to bypass the SFLOW difficulties. ne TURBO-AE steady flow solution provided an excellent match with the AlliedSignal Engines calibrated DAWES 3-D viscous solver. Finally, the TURBO-AE unsteady analyses also matched experimental observations by predicting flutter for the single test case evaluated.

    Description: A lightweight cylinder block composed of carbon-carbon is disclosed. The use of carbon-carbon over conventional materials, such as cast iron or aluminum, reduces the weight of the cylinder block and improves thermal efficiency of the internal combustion reciprocating engine. Due to the negligible coefficient of thermal expansion and unique strength at elevated temperatures of carbon-carbon, the piston-to-cylinder wall clearance can be small, especially when the carbon-carbon cylinder block is used in conjunction with a carbon-carbon piston. Use of the carbon-carbon cylinder block has the effect of reducing the weight of other reciprocating engine components allowing the piston to run at higher speeds and improving specific engine performance.

    Description: Simulation of high speed propulsion systems may be divided into two categories, nonlinear and linear. The nonlinear simulations are usually based on multidimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodologies and tend to provide high resolution results that show the fine detail of the flow. Consequently, these simulations are large, numerically intensive, and run much slower than real-time. ne linear simulations are usually based on large lumping techniques that are linearized about a steady-state operating condition. These simplistic models often run at or near real-time but do not always capture the detailed dynamics of the plant. Under a grant sponsored by the NASA Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, a new method has been developed that can be used to generate improved linear models for control design from multidimensional steady-state CFD results. This CFD-based linear modeling technique provides a small perturbation model that can be used for control applications and real-time simulations. It is important to note the utility of the modeling procedure; all that is needed to obtain a linear model of the propulsion system is the geometry and steady-state operating conditions from a multidimensional CFD simulation or experiment. This research represents a beginning step in establishing a bridge between the controls discipline and the CFD discipline so that the control engineer is able to effectively use multidimensional CFD results in control system design and analysis.

    Description: Experimental data from jet-engine tests have indicated that unsteady blade row interactions and separation can have a significant impact on the efficiency of low-pressure turbine stages. Measured turbine efficiencies at takeoff can be as much as two points higher than those at cruise conditions. Several recent studies have revealed that Reynolds number effects may contribute to the lower efficiencies at cruise conditions. In the current study numerical experiments have been performed to study the models available for low Reynolds number flows, and to quantify the Reynolds number dependence of low-pressure turbine cascades and stages. The predicted aerodynamic results exhibit good agreement with design data.

    Description: A formal method is described to quantify structural damage tolerance and reliability in the presence of multitude of uncertainties in turbine engine components. The method is based at the materials behavior level where primitive variables with their respective scatters are used to describe that behavior. Computational simulation is then used to propagate those uncertainties to the structural scale where damage tolerance and reliability are usually specified. Several sample cases are described to illustrate the effectiveness, versatility, and maturity of the method. Typical results from these methods demonstrate that the methods are mature and that they can be used for future strategic projections and planning to assure better, cheaper, faster products for competitive advantages in world markets. These results also indicate that the methods are suitable for predicting remaining life in aging or deteriorating structures.

    Description: A problem that arises in the numerical simulation of supersonic inlets is the lack of a suitable boundary condition at the engine face. In this paper, a coupled approach, in which the inlet computation is coupled dynamically to a turbomachinery computation, is proposed as a means to overcome this problem. The specific application chosen for validation of this approach is the collapsing bump experiment performed at the University of Cincinnati. The computed results are found to be in reasonable agreement with experimental results. The coupled simulation results could also be used to aid development of a simplified boundary condition.

    Description: Ongoing NASA-funded and privately funded studies continue to indicate that an opportunity exists for a second generation supersonic commercial airliner, or High-Speed Civil Transport (HSCT), to become a key part of the 21 st century international air transportation system. Long distance air travel is projected to be the fastest growing segment of the air transportation market by the turn of the century with increases at about 5 percent per annum over the next two decades. This projection suggests that by the year 2015, more than 600,000 passengers per day will be traveling long distances, predominantly over water. These routes would provide the greatest potential for an HSCT to become a significant part of the international air transportation system. The potential market for an HSCT is currently projected to be anywhere from 500-1500 aircraft over the 2005-2030 time period. Such an aircraft fleet size would represent a considerable share of the potential long-range aircraft market. However, this projected HSCT fleet can become a reality only if technologies are developed which will allow an HSCT design that is (1) environmentally compatible and (2) economically viable. Simply stated, the HSCT will be a technology driven airplane. Without significant advances in airframe and propulsion technologies over the levels currently available, there will be no second generation supersonic airliner! This paper will briefly describe the propulsion technology challenges which must be met prior to any product launch decision being made by industry and the progress toward meeting these challenges through NASAs High-Speed Research (HSR) Program, a partnership between NASA and Boeing, General Electric and Pratt & Whitney.

    Description: Future aircraft turbine engines, both commercial and military, must be able to accommodate expected increased levels of steady-state and dynamic engine-face distortion. The current approach of incorporating sufficient design stall margin to tolerate these increased levels of distortion would significantly reduce performance. The High Stability Engine Control (HISTEC) program has developed technologies for an advanced, integrated engine control system that uses measurement- based estimates of distortion to enhance engine stability. The resulting distortion tolerant control reduces the required design stall margin, with a corresponding increase in performance and/or decrease in fuel burn. The HISTEC concept was successfully flight demonstrated on the F-15 ACTIVE aircraft during the summer of 1997. The flight demonstration was planned and carried out in two parts, the first to show distortion estimation, and the second to show distortion accommodation. Post-flight analysis shows that the HISTEC technologies are able to successfully estimate and accommodate distortion, transiently setting the stall margin requirement on-line and in real-time. Flight demonstration of the HISTEC technologies has significantly reduced the risk of transitioning the technology to tactical and commercial engines.

    Description: Flight tests were recently completed to demonstrate an inlet-distortion-tolerant engine control system. These flight tests were part of NASA's High Stability Engine Control (HISTEC) program. The objective of the HISTEC program was to design, develop, and flight demonstrate an advanced integrated engine control system that uses measurement-based, real-time estimates of inlet airflow distortion to enhance engine stability. With improved stability and tolerance of inlet airflow distortion, future engine designs may benefit from a reduction in design stall-margin requirements and enhanced reliability, with a corresponding increase in performance and decrease in fuel consumption. This paper describes the HISTEC methodology, presents an aircraft test bed description (including HISTEC-specific modifications) and verification and validation ground tests. Additionally, flight test safety considerations, test plan and technique design and approach, and flight operations are addressed. Some illustrative results are presented to demonstrate the type of analysis and results produced from the flight test program.

    Description: A large scale model representative of a low-noise, high bypass ratio turbofan engine was tested for acoustics and performance in the NASA Lewis 9- by 15-Foot Low-Speed Wind Tunnel. This test was part of NASA's continuing Advanced Subsonic Technology Noise Reduction Program. The low tip speed fan, nacelle, and an un-powered core passage (with core inlet guide vanes) were simulated. The fan blades and hub are mounted on a rotating thrust and torque balance. The nacelle, bypass duct stators, and core passage are attached to a six component force balance. The two balance forces, when corrected for internal pressure tares, measure the total thrust-minus-drag of the engine simulator. Corrected for scaling and other effects, it is basically the same force that the engine supports would feel, operating at similar conditions. A control volume is shown and discussed, identifying the various force components of the engine simulator thrust and definitions of net thrust. Several wind tunnel runs with nearly the same hardware installed are compared, to identify the repeatability of the measured thrust-minus-drag. Other wind tunnel runs, with hardware changes that affected fan performance, are compared to the baseline configuration, and the thrust and torque effects are shown. Finally, a thrust comparison between the force balance and nozzle gross thrust methods is shown, and both yield very similar results.

    Description: Current general aviation light aircraft are powered by engines that were originally designed in the 1940's. This paper gives a brief history of light aircraft engine development, explaining why the air-cooled, horizontally opposed piston engine became the dominant engine for this class of aircraft. Current engines are fairly efficient, and their designs have been updated through the years, but their basic design and operational characteristics are archaic in comparison to modem engine designs, such as those used in the automotive industry. There have been some innovative engine developments, but in general they have not been commercially successful. This paper gives some insight into the reasons for this lack of success. There is now renewed interest in developing modem propulsion systems for light aircraft, in the fore-front of which is NASA's General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) program. This paper gives an overview of the engines being developed in the GAP program, what they will mean to the general aviation community, and why NASA and its industry partners believe that these new engine developments will bring about a new era in general aviation light aircraft.

    Description: A wave rotor cycle is described which avoids the inherent problem of combustor exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) found in four-port, through-flow wave rotor cycles currently under consideration for topping gas turbine engines. The recirculated hot gas is eliminated by the judicious placement of a bypass duct which transfers gas from one end of the rotor to the other. The resulting cycle, when analyzed numerically, yields an absolute mean rotor temperature 18% below the already impressive value of the conventional four-port cycle (approximately the turbine inlet temperature). The absolute temperature of the gas leading to the combustor is also reduced from the conventional four-port design by 22%. The overall design point pressure ratio of this new bypass cycle is approximately the same as the conventional four-port cycle. This paper will describe the EGR problem and the bypass cycle solution including relevant wave diagrams. Performance estimates of design and off-design operation of a specific wave rotor will be presented. The results were obtained using a one-dimensional numerical simulation and design code.

    Description: Pressure sensitive paint (PSP) is a novel technology that is being used frequently in external aerodynamics. For internal flows in narrow channels, and applications at elevated nonuniform temperatures, however, there are still unresolved problems that complicate the procedures for calibrating PSP signals. To address some of these problems, investigations were carried out in a narrow channel with supersonic flows of Mach 2.5. The first set of tests focused on the distribution of the wall pressure in the diverging section of the test channel downstream of the nozzle throat. The second set dealt with the distribution of wall static pressure due to the shock/wall interaction caused by a 25 deg. wedge in the constant Mach number part of the test section. In addition, the total temperature of the flow was varied to assess the effects of temperature on the PSP signal. Finally, contamination of the pressure field data, caused by internal reflection of the PSP signal in a narrow channel, was demonstrated. The local wall pressures were measured with static taps, and the wall pressure distributions were acquired by using PSP. The PSP results gave excellent qualitative impressions of the pressure field investigated. However, the quantitative results, specifically the accuracy of the PSP data in narrow channels, show that improvements need to be made in the calibration procedures, particularly for heated flows. In the cases investigated, the experimental error had a standard deviation of +/- 8.0% for the unheated flow, and +/- 16.0% for the heated flow, at an average pressure of 11 kpa.

    Description: This paper presents measurements of static pressures on the stator vane suction side of a high-speed single stage fan using the technique of pressure sensitive paint (PSP). The paper illustrates development in application of the relatively new experimental technique to the complex environment of internal flows in turbomachines. First, there is a short explanation of the physics of the PSP technique and a discussion of calibration methods for pressure sensitive paint in the turbomachinery environment. A description of the image conversion process follows. The recorded image of the stator vane pressure field is skewed due to the limited optical access and must be converted to the meridional plane projection for comparison with analytical predictions. The experimental results for seven operating conditions along an off-design rotational speed line are shown in a concise form, including performance map points, mindspan static tap pressure distributions, and vane suction side pressure fields. Then, a comparison between static tap and pressure sensitive paint data is discussed. Finally, the paper lists shortcomings of the pressure sensitive paint technology and lessons learned in this high-speed fan application.

    Description: This paper explains why a spark ignited gasoline engine, intake pressurized with three cascaded stages of turbocharging, was selected to power NASA's contemplated next generation of high altitude atmospheric science aircraft. Beginning with the most urgent science needs (the atmospheric sampling mission) and tracing through the mission requirements which dictate the unique flight regime in which this aircraft has to operate (subsonic flight at greater then 80 kft) we briefly explore the physical problems and constraints, the available technology options and the cost drivers associated with developing a viable propulsion system for this highly specialized aircraft. The paper presents the two available options (the turbojet and the turbocharged spark ignited engine) which are discussed and compared in the context of the flight regime. We then show how the unique nature of the sampling mission, coupled with the economic considerations pursuant to aero engine development, point to the spark ignited engine as the only cost effective solution available. Surprisingly, this solution compares favorably with the turbojet in the flight regime of interest. Finally, some remarks are made about NASA's present state of development, and future plans to flight demonstrate the three stage turbocharged powerplant.

    Description: Flight tests recently completed at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center evaluated performance of a hydromechanically vectored axisymmetric nozzle onboard the F-15 ACTIVE. A flight-test technique whereby strain gages installed onto engine mounts provided for the direct measurement of thrust and vector forces has proven to be extremely valuable. Flow turning and thrust efficiency, as well as nozzle static pressure distributions were measured and analyzed. This report presents results from testing at an altitude of 30,000 ft and a speed of Mach 0.9. Flow turning and thrust efficiency were found to be significantly different than predicted, and moreover, varied substantially with power setting and pitch vector angle. Results of an in-flight comparison of the direct thrust measurement technique and an engine simulation fell within the expected uncertainty bands. Overall nozzle performance at this flight condition demonstrated the F100-PW-229 thrust-vectoring nozzles to be highly capable and efficient.

    Description: Tests are described which, when used to augment the existing periodic maintenance and pre-flight checks of T700 engines, can greatly improve the chances of uncovering a problem compared to the current practice. These test signals can be used to expose and differentiate between faults in various components by comparing the responses of particular engine variables to the expected. The responses can be processed on-line in a variety of ways which have been shown to reveal and identify faults. The combination of specific test signals and on-line processing methods provides an ad hoc approach to the isolation of faults which might not otherwise be detected during pre-flight checkout.

Although the resulting partial differential equations are one dimensional, they qualitatively describe observed phenomena, including, resonant frequencies and the admission of both steady and unsteady behavior. A number of simulations are shown which exhibit both steady and unsteady behavior, including flame migration and thermo acoustic instabilities. Finally, we present examples of unsteady flow resulting from fuel modulation.

    Description: The intermetallics compound molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) is an attractive high-temperature structural material for advanced engine applications. It has excellent oxidation resistance, a high melting point, relatively low density, and high thermal conductivity, and it is easily machined. Past research'at the NASA Lewis Research Center has resulted in the development of a hybrid composite consisting of a MoSi2 matrix reinforced with silicon nitride (Si3N4) Particulate and silicon carbide (SiC) fibers. This composite has demonstrated attractive strength, toughness, thermal fatigue, and oxidation resistance, including resistance to "pest" oxidation. These properties attracted the interest of the Office of Naval Research and Pratt & Whitney, and a joint NASA/Navy/Pratt & Whitney effort was developed to continue to mature the MoSi2 Composite technology. A turbine blade outer air seal, which was part of the Integrated High Performance Turbine Engine Technology (IHPTET) program, was chosen as a first component on which to focus. The first tasks of the materials development effort were to develop improved processing methods to reduce costs and to use fine-diameter fibers that enable the manufacturing of complex shapes. Tape-casting methods were developed to fully infiltrate the fine SiC fibers with matrix powders. The resulting composites were hot pressed to 100-percent density. Composites with cross-plied fiber architectures with 30 vol. % hi-nicalon SiC fibers and 30 vol. % nitride particles are now made routinely and demonstrate a good balance of properties. The next task entailed the measurement of a wide variety of mechanical properties to confirm the suitability of this composite in engines. In particular, participants in this effort demonstrated that composites made with Hi-Nicalon fibers had strength and toughness properties equal to or better than those of the composites made with the large-diameter fibers that had been used previously. Another critically important property measured was impact resistance. Aircraft engine components require sufficient toughness to resist manufacturing defects, assembly damage, stress concentrations at notches, and foreign object damage. Engine company designers indicated that impact resistance would have to be measured before they would seriously consider these types of composites. The Charpy V-notch test was chosen to assess impact resistance, and both monolithic and composite versions Of MOSi2 were tested from -300 to 1400 C. The results (see the following graphs) show that nitride-particulate-reinforced MoSi2 exhibited impact resistance higher than that of many monolithic ceramics and intermetallics, and that the fiber-reinforced composites had even higher values, approaching that of cast superalloys.

    Description: The objective of this project is to provide the capability to analyze the aerodynamic performance of the complete low pressure subsystem (LPS) of the Energy Efficient Engine (EEE). The analyses were performed using three-dimensional Navier-Stokes numerical models employing advanced clustered processor computing platforms. The analysis evaluates the impact of steady aerodynamic interaction effects between the components of the LPS at design and off-design operating conditions. Mechanical coupling is provided by adjusting the rotational speed of common shaft-mounted components until a power balance is achieved. The Navier-Stokes modeling of the complete low pressure subsystem provides critical knowledge of component aero/mechanical interactions that previously were unknown to the designer until after hardware testing.

    Description: The design of the next generation of space access vehicles has led to a unique flight test that blends the space and flight research worlds. The new space vehicle designs, such as the X-33 vehicle and Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV), are powered by linear aerospike rocket engines. Conceived of in the 1960's, these aerospike engines have yet to be flown, and many questions remain regarding aerospike engine performance and efficiency in flight. To provide some of these data before flying on the X-33 vehicle and the RLV, a spacecraft rocket engine has been flight-tested atop the NASA SR-71 aircraft as the Linear Aerospike SR-71 Experiment (LASRE). A 20 percent-scale, semispan model of the X-33 vehicle, the aerospike engine, and all the required fuel and oxidizer tanks and propellant feed systems have been mounted atop the SR-71 airplane for this experiment. A major technical objective of the LASRE flight test is to obtain installed-engine performance flight data for comparison to wind-tunnel results and for the development of computational fluid dynamics-based design methodologies. The ultimate goal of firing the aerospike rocket engine in flight is still forthcoming. An extensive design and development phase of the experiment hardware has been completed, including approximately 40 ground tests. Five flights of the LASRE and firing the rocket engine using inert liquid nitrogen and helium in place of liquid oxygen and hydrogen have been successfully completed.

    Description: A conceptual device is introduced which would utilize unsteady wave motion to slow and turn flows in the diffuser section of a centrifugal compressor. The envisioned device would substantially reduce the size of conventional centrifugal diffusers by eliminating the relatively large ninety degree bend needed to turn the flow from the radial/tangential to the axial direction. The bend would be replaced by a wall and the flow would instead exit through a series of rotating ports located on a disk, adjacent to the diffuser hub, and fixed to the impeller shaft. The ports would generate both expansion and compression waves which would rapidly transition from the hub/shroud (axial) direction to the radial/tangential direction. The waves would in turn induce radial/tangential and axial flow. This paper presents a detailed description of the device. Simplified cycle analysis and performance results are presented which were obtained using a time accurate, quasi-one-dimensional CFD code with models for turning, port flow conditions, and losses due to wall shear stress. The results indicate that a periodic wave system can be established which yields diffuser performance comparable to a conventional diffuser. Discussion concerning feasibility, accuracy, and integration follow.

    Description: Planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging and planar Mie scattering are used to examine the fuel distribution pattern (patternation) for advanced fuel injector concepts in kerosene burning, high pressure gas turbine combustors. Three diverse fuel injector concepts for aerospace applications were investigated under a broad range of operating conditions. Fuel PLIF patternation results are contrasted with those obtained by planar Mie scattering. Further comparison is also made for one injector with data obtained through phase Doppler measurements. Differences in spray patterns for diverse conditions and fuel injector configurations are readily discernible. An examination of the data has shown that a direct determination of the fuel spray angle at realistic conditions is also possible. The results obtained in this study demonstrate the applicability and usefulness of these nonintrusive optical techniques for investigating fuel spray patternation under actual combustor conditions.

    Description: Experimental data from jet-engine tests have indicated that unsteady blade row (wake) interactions and separation can have a significant impact on the efficiency of turbine stages. The effects of these interactions can be intensified in low-pressure turbine stages because of the low Reynolds number operating environment. Measured turbine efficiencies at takeoff can be as much as two points higher than those at cruise conditions. Thus, during the last decade a significant amount of effort has been put into determining the effects of transition and turbulence on the performance of low pressure turbine stages. Experimental investigations have been performed, for example, by Hodson et al. and Halstead et al. These investigations have helped identify/clarify the roles that factors such as the Reynolds number, free stream turbulence intensity, pressure gradient and curvature have in the generation of losses. In parallel to the experimental investigations, there have been significant analytical efforts to improve the modeling of transition. Examples of such efforts include the works of Mayle and Gostelow et al. These newer models show promise of providing accurate transition predictions over a wide range of flow conditions, although they have yet to be implemented into the numerical flow analyses used by the turbine design community. Some recent computational investigations of interest include the works of Chernobrovkin and Lakshminarayana and Eulitz and Engel. The focus of the current effort has been to -use a viscous, unsteady quasi-three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis to study boundary layer development in a two-stage low-pressure turbine. A two-layer algebraic turbulence model, along with a natural transition model and a bubble transition model, have been used, The geometry used in the simulations has been the subject of extensive experiments. The predicted results have been compared with experimental data, including airfoil loadings and time-averaged/unsteady integral boundary layer quantities.

    Description: A numerical investigation of a multiple-jet array dual-mode scramjet combustor has been performed utilizing a three-dimensional Navier-Stokes code with finite-rate chemistry. Results indicate substantial upstream interaction in the form of an oblique shock/expansion train upstream of the combustor, culminating in completely subsonic flow in the vicinity of fuel injectors. The flow returns to supersonic velocities in the downstream (diverging) portion of the combustor. Mixing and combustion are rapid in this flow and predicted combustion efficiency closely matches experimental data. However, comparisons of wall pressure between the simulation and the experiment show i) substantial underprediction of the upstream interaction distance and ii) moderate overprediction of peak pressure in the vicinity of the entrance of the combustor. This can be at least partially explained by examination of available experimental data; this data shows a very significant movement of the entering vitiated airflow to the sides of the combustor (around the injector array and the upstream interaction front as a whole). This important effect is currently being examined by an extension of the modeling to include the entire half-duct of the same combustor geometry.

    Description: The objective of this thesis is to further develop and test a stochastic model of turbulent combustion in recirculating flows. There is a requirement to increase the accuracy of multi-dimensional combustion predictions. As turbulence affects reaction rates, this interaction must be more accurately evaluated. In this work a more physically correct way of handling the interaction of turbulence on combustion is further developed and tested. As turbulence involves randomness, stochastic modeling is used. Averaged values such as temperature and species concentration are found by integrating the probability density function (pdf) over the range of the scalar. The model in this work does not assume the pdf type, but solves for the evolution of the pdf using the Monte Carlo solution technique. The model is further developed by including a more robust reaction solver, by using accurate thermodynamics and by more accurate transport elements. The stochastic method is used with Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations. The SIMPLE method is used to solve for velocity, pressure, turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation. The pdf solver solves for temperature and species concentration. Thus, the method is partially familiar to combustor engineers. The method is compared to benchmark experimental data and baseline calculations. The baseline method was tested on isothermal flows, evaporating sprays and combusting sprays. Pdf and baseline predictions were performed for three diffusion flames and one premixed flame. The pdf method predicted lower combustion rates than the baseline method in agreement with the data, except for the premixed flame. The baseline and stochastic predictions bounded the experimental data for the premixed flame. The use of a continuous mixing model or relax to mean mixing model had little effect on the prediction of average temperature. Two grids were used in a hydrogen diffusion flame simulation. Grid density did not effect the predictions except for peak temperature and tangential velocity. The hybrid pdf method did take longer and required more memory, but has a theoretical basis to extend to many reaction steps which cannot be said of current turbulent combustion models.

    Description: A 3D multistage simulation of each component of a modern GE Turbofan engine has been made. An axisymmetric view of this engine is presented in the document. This includes a fan, booster rig, high pressure compressor rig, high pressure turbine rig and a low pressure turbine rig. In the near future, all components will be run in a single calculation for a solution of 49 blade rows. The simulation exploits the use of parallel computations by using two levels of parallelism. Each blade row is run in parallel and each blade row grid is decomposed into several domains and run in parallel. 20 processors are used for the 4 blade row analysis. The average passage approach developed by John Adamczyk at NASA Lewis Research Center has been further developed and parallelized. This is APNASA Version A. It is a Navier-Stokes solver using a 4-stage explicit Runge-Kutta time marching scheme with variable time steps and residual smoothing for convergence acceleration. It has an implicit K-E turbulence model which uses an ADI solver to factor the matrix. Between 50 and 100 explicit time steps are solved before a blade row body force is calculated and exchanged with the other blade rows. This outer iteration has been coined a "flip." Efforts have been made to make the solver linearly scaleable with the number of blade rows. Enough flips are run (between 50 and 200) so the solution in the entire machine is not changing. The K-E equations are generally solved every other explicit time step. One of the key requirements in the development of the parallel code was to make the parallel solution exactly (bit for bit) match the serial solution. This has helped isolate many small parallel bugs and guarantee the parallelization was done correctly. The domain decomposition is done only in the axial direction since the number of points axially is much larger than the other two directions. This code uses MPI for message passing. The parallel speed up of the solver portion (no 1/0 or body force calculation) for a grid which has 227 points axially.

    Description: Recent advances in commercial and military aircraft gas turbines have yielded significant improvements in fuel efficiency and thrust-to-weight ratio, due in large part to increased combustor operating pressures and temperatures. However, the higher operating conditions have increased the emission of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), which is a pollutant with adverse impact on the atmosphere and environment. Since commercial and military aircraft are the only important direct source of NOx emissions at high altitudes, there is a growing consensus that considerably more stringent limits on NOx emissions will be required in the future for all aircraft. In fact, the regulatory communities have recently agreed to reduce NOx limits by 20 percent from current requirements effective in 1996. Further reductions at low altitude, together with introduction of limits on NOx at altitude, are virtual certainties. In addition, the U.S. Government recently conducted hearings on the introduction of federal fees on the local emission of pollutants from all sources, including aircraft. While no action was taken regarding aircraft in this instance, the threat of future action clearly remains. In these times of intense and growing international competition, the U.S. le-ad in aerospace can only be maintained through a clear technological dominance that leads to a product line of maximum value to the global airline customer. Development of a very low NOx combustor will be essential to meet the future needs of both the commercial and military transport markets, if additional economic burdens and/or operational restrictions are to be avoided. In this report, Pratt & Whitney (P&W) presents the study results with the following specific objectives: Development of low-emissions combustor technologies for advances engines that will enter into service circa 2005, while producing a goal of 70 percent lower NOx emissions, compared to 1996 regulatory levels. Identification of solution approaches to barriers to the productization and economic viability of the low-emissions technologies. Preparation of these technologies to facilitate an annular rig high-pressure demonstration.

    Description: A joint UTRC-University of Connecticut theoretical program was based on describing coupled soot formation and radiation in turbulent flows using stretched flamelet theory. This effort was involved with using the model jet fuel kinetics mechanism to predict soot growth in flamelets at elevated pressure, to incorporate an efficient model for turbulent thermal radiation into a discrete transfer radiation code, and to couple die soot growth, flowfield, and radiation algorithm. The soot calculations used a recently developed opposed jet code which couples the dynamical equations of size-class dependent particle growth with complex chemistry. Several of the tasks represent technical firsts; among these are the prediction of soot from a detailed jet fuel kinetics mechanism, the inclusion of pressure effects in the soot particle growth equations, and the inclusion of the efficient turbulent radiation algorithm in a combustor code.

    Description: Small variations in fuel/air mixture ratios within gas turbine combustors can result in measurable, and potentially detrimental, exit thermal gradients. Thermal gradients can increase emissions, as well as shorten the design life of downstream turbomachinery, particularly stator vanes. Uniform temperature profiles are usually sought through careful design and manufacturing of related combustor components. However, small componentto-component variations as well as numerous aging effects degrade system performance. To compensate for degraded thermal performance, researchers are investigating active, closed-loop control schemes.

    Description: The assassin bug genus Rasahus Amyot & Serville (Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Peiratinae) comprises 26 Neotropical species. A cladistic analysis of the genus was carried out using 63 characters from external morphology, body vestiture, and male and female genitalia, with the species considered as terminal taxa. The analysis yielded 149 equally parsimonious cladograms, each with 206 steps, CI = 0.35, and RI = 0.60; the successive weighting procedure resulted in eight cladograms (CI = 0.79 and RI = 0.91). In the strict consensus cladogram, two major clades are delimited: one comprising the species R. rufiventris, R. hamatus, R. arcitenens, R. arcuiger, R. amapaensis, R. thoracicus, R. biguttatus, R. argentinensis, R. limai, R. grandis, and R. angulatus; and the other with R. castaneus, R. aeneus, R. scutellaris, R. maculipennis, R. brasiliensis, R. sulcicollis, R. surinamensis, R. albomaculatus, R. guttatipennis, R. atratus, R. peruensis, R. costarricensis, R. bifurcatus, R. flavovittatus, and R. paraguayensis. A cladistic biogeographic analysis of the provinces of the Neotropical subregion, considering distributional data of the species of Rasahus and three other genera of Peiratinae (Eidmannia, Melanolestes, and Thymbreus) was carried out. Four general area cladograms were obtained applying programs COMPONENT 2.0 and TASS. The most parsimonious general area cladogram (= implying fewer items of error) was obtained with COMPONENT 2.0 minimizing the number of leaves added, and shows the sequence (Desierto, (Caatinga, (Cerrado, (Chacoan, (Caribbean, Amazonian), (Paranaense, Atlantic))))). This sequence of area relationships is congruent with the history previously hypothesized for the subregion, where the development of an open vegetated diagonal (comprising the Chacoan, Cerrado, and Caatinga provinces) due to the aridification induced by the gradual uplift of the Andes, separated the former Amazonian forest in a northwestern part (Caribbean plus Amazonian provinces) and a southeastern part (Paranaense plus Atlantic provinces).

    Notes: The three-dimensional aspects of the chemistry of dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) was studied through a conformationally-restricted substrate analog approach. We found that the DBH-catalyzed hydroxylation of 2-aminoindane (1) exclusively produced the trans-(1S,2S)-2-amino-1-indanol (4S) (93% ee) in contrast to the stereochemical course of the pro-R hydroxylation of the DBH/phenethylamine reaction. Studies with stereospecifically deuterium labeled 2-aminoindanes 2 and 3 show that the production of (1S)-aminoindanol 4S is the result of stereospecific pro-S hydrogen abstraction followed by the oxygen binding with overall retention of configuration. On the basis of these findings, we propose a model for the interaction of the phenethylamine substrates with the enzyme.

    Notes: Copper-catalyzed decomposition of alkyl diazoacetates in the presence of semicyclic enaminones 1a-o leads primarily to enamino esters 2 which constitute formal products of C-C insertion of the carbene unit. In the case of N-methyl (1a-e) and N-benzyl (1f-i) enaminones, 2a-i are accompanied by 2,3,5,6-tetrahydroindoles 3a-i, in which two carbene moieties are incorporated. At 250 °C, compounds 2b-e, which could not be isolated in pure form, undergo cyclocondensation to form 1,2,3,5-tetrahydrocyclopenta-[b]pyrroles 4b-e. In contrast, 2f-i can be isolated as Z,E mixtures and are transformed thermally into 4f-i only in the presence of silica gel. Carbene transfer to N-phenyl enaminones 1j-m and N-methyl enamino esters 1n,o leads only to the 1:1 adducts, enamino esters 2j-o, which do not undergo the cyclocondensation reaction under the previous conditions. Dehydrogenation of tetrahydroindoles 3c-e with tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone can be controlled to give either 1,2-dihydroindole-6,7-dicarboxylates 5 or indole-6,7-dicarboxylates 6.

    Notes: The strong patchouli-like and woody smelling essential oil of the rhizomes of Echinops giganteus var. lelyi C. D. Adams (Compositae) contains only sesquiterpenes, which are mainly triquinanes. Besides the known tricyclic compounds, silphiperfol-5- (1, 3) and -6-ene (4), modhephen-2-ene (5), α- (6) and β-isocomene (7), silphiperfolan-7β-ol (12), presilphiperfolan-8-ol (13), silphiperfol-6-en-5-one (14) and 7-epi-silphiperfolan-6β-ol (20), the following compounds, three of which (15, 17, 18) have new skeletons, were found, for the first time, occurring naturally: presilphiperfol-7-ene (2), cameroonan-7-ol (15), an 11(7→8)-abeo-presilphiperfolan-7-ol, prenopsan-8-ol (17), a 1(8→7)-abeo-cameroonan-8-ol, and nopsan-4-ol (18), a 3(4→8)-abeo-prenopsan-4-ol, three diastereomers of silphiperfolan-6-ol (19, 21, 22), modheph-2-en-8-ol (23) and silphiperfola-4,7(14)-diene (24). All structures were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy. A biogenetic pathway from a presilphiperfolane cation C to the cameroonane K, prenopsane L and nopsane M cations is shown. Cameroonanol (15) and prenopsanol (17) are the main contributors to the fragrance of the total oil.

    Notes: Glycosyl phosphites 1-3 derived from glucose are activated under neutral conditions and without the addition of any further promoter in 1 M solutions of LiClO4, Mg(ClO4)2 or Ba(ClO4)2 in ether, CH2Cl2, or CH3CN and react under these conditions with the alcohols5-9 to give the glycosides 10-14. The best results are obtained in the presence of Ba(ClO4)2. In CH2Cl2 and ether the α-anomers predominate, in CH3CN the β-isomers are formed in excess. Whereas the methyl phosphite 1 and the benzyl phosphite 3 deliver the desired glycosides in yields of 35-66%, the ethyl phosphite 2 is a more reactive glycosyl donor, giving the glycosides 10, 11 and 13 in 62-95% yield.

    Notes: The synthesis of the trans,trans isomer of the bis(2-buteno)-bridged bis(adamantane) 3 has been developed, and its structure was established by spectral and X-ray structure analysis. Since the results of dynamic NMR studies indicate that 3 is conformationally mobile and the transition-state free energy (ΔGc≠) required to interconvert two equivalent con-formers was estimated to be ca. 60 kJ mol-1, the lowest energy conformer was subjected to a molecular dynamic simulation at 323 K in the gas phase. Three conformations 3a, 3b and 3c were found. The conformations 3a and 3c have anti-oriented adamantane units, while in 3b the adamantane molecules occupy the syn conformation. By analysing the conformational processes in macrocyclic diene 3, it was found that the calculated conformation 3a with molecular symmetry of C2h is very close to that found in solution at -50 °C, but differs from that which was observed in the solid state by X-ray-crystallographic analysis.

    Notes: DNA photolyases are enzymes that catalyze the light-dependend repair of cis-syn-cyclobutane-thymine dimer UV lesions in a variety of organisms. The basis of the repairreaction is an electron transfer from a reduced and deprotonated flavin cofactor to the dimer unit, which splits spontaneously as its radical anion. A second cofactor, which is either an 8-hydroxy-5-deazaflavin or a methenyl-tetrahydrofolate is required as a photo antenna and ensures efficient light absorption. With the help of model compounds that are able to mimic all crucial steps of the repair reaction, detailed mechanistic insights into the repair reaction could be obtained. It became clear, that the enzyme requires the reduced flavin in its deprotonated form and that the repair reaction proceeds most efficiently in polar media, which is in agreement with the observed highly polar flavin binding pocket. Investigations with flavin- and deazaflavin-containing model compounds confirmed that the deazaflavin functions solely as a photo antenna and allowed to study the dependencies of the antenna function on the protonation state of the 8-hydroxy-5-deazaflavin. The ability to mimic the repair reaction with small model compounds allowed finally the development of flavin cofactor functionalized oligo-peptides. Cofactor peptides with the sequence of the DNA-binding domain of the transcription factor MyoD were shown to be able to repair UV light lesions of DNA within a DNA single strand.

    Notes: Bis[di(2-pyridyl)methyl]amine (BDPMA) has been syn-thesized by refluxing di-2-pyridyl ketone and di-(2-pyridyl)methylamine in isopropanol in the presence of molecular sieves and acetic acid and subsequent reduction with zinc dust. The established methods for reductive amination, i.e. NaBH3CN, NaBH(OAc)3 and NaBH4, failed in the synthesis of BDPMA due to a disfavored equilibrium towards the imine formation and therefore long reaction times were required, involving side reactions. The presented method can be used on large-scales and tolerates aromatic heterocycles as functional groups.

    Notes: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are taken up from plants by various butterflies and moths belonging to the Danainae, Ithomiinae, and Arctiidae, which use them for defence and for the production of male pheromones. A complex distribution scheme of these plant alkaloids by the insect has been established in some species. The transformations involved include conversion into insect alkaloids, metabolism to male pheromones, and transfer of alkaloids from males to females and further into eggs. While these lepidoptera selectively sequester certain compounds from plants in a complex pattern, the leaf beetle Chrysomela lapponica follows a different strategy. Glycosidically bound alcohols present in leaves of their hostplants are liberated and transformed into esters, which are used for defence. Related beetles rely on host-derived single compounds such as salicyl aldehyde or de novo synthesized iridoid monoterpenes. Several aspects of these insect-plant relations, including biosynthetic transformations of plant compounds by the insects, are discussed herein.

    Notes: The need for catalyst systems for the asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefins (AD) that combine the positive characteristics of the original homogeneous osmium catalysts with the ease of separation of heterogeneous catalysts led to the introduction of polymer-supported alkaloid ligands. Two major strategies for ligand recovery will be discussed here: (a) Attachment of the alkaloids to a solid support, such as an organic polymer or silica gel. After catalysis the ligands can easily be recycled by simple filtration. (b) The alkaloids are anchored to a polymeric unit which allows catalysis to be performed under homogeneous conditions. After the reaction is complete, the ligand is isolated by precipitation upon addition of solvent followed by filtration. Recent results of investigations of both strategies will be presented.

    Notes: A series of 1-vinyltricyclo[4.1.0.02,7]heptanes 4 has been obtained by Ni0-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of the corresponding Grignard reagent with vinyl halides or via reaction of 4b with various electrophiles. Selected model compounds 4 were treated with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), N-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD), and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD). Product studies revealed that TCNE and PTAD attacked the CC double bond forming a zwitterion, which in most cases underwent several carbenium ion rearrangements until internal bond formation of the ionic centers took place. The main reaction path of DMAD and 4 led via attack at the bicyclo[1.1.0]butane bridgehead to a biradical of type 38, which after H abstraction and CC bond formation gave rise to the tricyclic system 37.

    Notes: Bicyclopropylidene (1) readily undergoes a palladium(0)-catalyzed [3 + 2] co-cyclization with electron deficient alkenes (methyl acrylate, methyl trans-crotonate, methyl cinnamate and diethyl fumarate) as well as with some strained alkenes (norbornene, norbornadiene) by distal ring cleavage of one of the three-membered rings of 1. All these co-cyclizations are regioselective with respect to 1 as well as regio- and stereoselective with respect to the alkenes to give the corresponding 4-methylenespiro[2.4]heptane-trans-6-carboxylates 2a-5 with the electron deficient alkenes and the cycloadducts 6 and 7 with the strained alkenes in acceptable to good yields (56 to 83%). In contrast to palladium(0) catalysts nickel(0) complexes catalyze both distal ring opening of 1 and oxidative coupling of the two double bonds when 1 is reacted with e.g. diethyl fumarate. The result is a mixture of the methylenecyclopentane derivative 5 with the [2 + 2] cycloadduct 8 and the cotrimer 9.

    Notes: The intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of the furans 1a, 1b, 3a and 3b in dichloromethane solution at pressures up to 3 kbar have been studied by quantitative on-line FT-IR spectroscopy. At identical pressure and temperature cyclization rates are significantly faster, by a factor of 8.1 and 6.8, for the b-type species of 1 and 3, respectively. The activation enthalpies of the four cyclizations are very similar, between 78.5 ± 0.6 and 82.5 ± 2.7 kJ mol-1. The activation volumes, ΔV0≠, are in the range -28.4 ± 1.3 (1a) to -40.8 ± 2.0 cm3 mol-1 (3b). These data show that intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions are not necessarily associated with less negative activation volumes than intermolecular Diels-Alder reactions. The size of ΔV0≠, however, appears to be clearly correlated with the type and the position of substituents at the diene or dienophile moieties. Replacement of the H atom on the furan ring by the methoxy group turns ΔV0≠ more negative by 7.4 ± 2.9 cm3 mol-1 for 1a and 1b and by 8.1 ± 2.0 cm3 mol-1 for 3a and 3b. Varying the dienophile moiety from methylenecyclopropane to bicyclopropylidene lowers ΔV0≠ by about 3.5 cm3 mol-1 between 1a and 3a and by about 5.0 cm3 mol-1 between 1b and 3b, which demonstrates the larger steric hindrance due to the tetrasubstitution of the double bond. Comparing the effects on cyclization rate associated with having either one or two cyclopropane units at the dienophile double bond suggests that the rate enhancing influence of strain energy slightly overcompensates a reduction in rate that is expected to go with the increased steric hindrance due to the second cyclopropane unit.

The reactions with aqueous ammonia and hydroxylamine gave tripolar mesoionic amide 2 and mesoionic hydroxylamide 4, respectively. N-Substituted and N,N-disubstituted hydrazines yielded the corresponding hydrazides 5, whereas N,N-diphenylhydrazine gave the rearranged product 6. The reaction with sodium azide gave 5-azidotetrazolium salt 8. The azido group of 8 was reduced to give aminotetrazolium salt 9, deprotonation of which yielded the corresponding conjugate base 3. Hard nucleophiles attacked the tetrazolium carbon atom of 8 to give substitution products, whereas soft nucleophiles added the terminal nitrogen atom of the azido group to give addition products. Azidotetrazolium salt 8 reacted further with sodium azide to give a high yield of the tetrazol derivative 11, together with a small amount of triazene 17. The intermediacy of mesoionic carbene 19 is postulated.

    Notes: Three new phytosphingosine-type ceramides, AC-1-6, AC-1-10 and AC-1-11, were isolated from the ceramide molecular species AC-1, obtained from the less polar fraction of the CHCl3-MeOH extract of the starfish Acanthaster planci. The structures of these ceramides were determined on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence as (2S,2′R,3S,4R,9Z)-2-(2-hydroxyhexadecanoylamino)-9-docosene-1,3,4-triol (AC-1-6), (2S,2′R,3S,4R,)-2-(2-hydroxytricosanoylamino)hexadecane-1,3,4-triol (AC-1-10) and (2S,2′R,3S,4R,)-2(2-hydroxytetracosanoylamino)hexadecane-1,3,4-triol (AC-1-11). Positive ion FABMS/MS of each ceramide gave important information for their structure elucidation. Mass spectrometry of the dimethyl disulfide derivatives of ceramide was also useful for the determination of the double bond position in the long-chain base.

    Notes: The stereoselectivity of the formation of macrocyclic stilbenes as well as the regioselectivity of their photocyclization are strongly influenced by the length of the connecting alkanediyl chain. The stereoisomers of the macrocyclic stilbenes and the corresponding diols are identified by chemical and spectroscopic means.

    Notes: In our previous work on benzene- and naphthalene-spacered porphyrin-quinone cyclophanes[1][2], the dependence of electron-transfer rates on reduction potentials of the acceptors and oxidation potentials of the porphyrins was studied. The present paper, dealing with the distance dependence of electron transfer, reports on the synthesis of anthracene-spacered analogues and on the electron-transfer rates, which are found to be drastically reduced.

    Notes: Activation parameters have been determined in the gas phase for the geometrical isomerization of the double bonds in two phenyl-substituted methylenecyclopropanes (2 and 8). Comparison with the analogous values for three sterically non-restricted styrene derivatives (15, 16 and 17) shows that the enthalpies of activation for the methylenecyclopropanes are lower by 3.7 kcal mol-1. This value, which is an upper limit to the amount of strain energy released by pyramidalization of the ring carbon atom in the orthogonal diradical transition state when undergoing geometrical isomerization, is considerably smaller than the value of 12-14 kcal mol-1 by which the strain energy of methylenecyclopropane is larger relative to that of cyclopropane. Our kinetics experiments thus show that the angle strain, associated with incorporating a trigonal carbon atom into the three-membered ring, is not responsible for the majority of the additional strain energy of methylenecyclopropane, relative to that of cyclopropane.

    Notes: TAN-1057 (1a, b) - a new natural dipeptide antibiotic active against methicillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus - was synthesized starting from Nα, Nδ, Nω-tri-Z-L-arginine 20b via the corresponding diazoketone 21b. This upon photolysis rearranged to the ketene which was trapped by (±)-2,4,5,6-tetrahydro-5-methylamino-2-ureidopyrimidin-4-one (3) to yield the fully protected dipeptide 23 (30%). The latter was deprotected by hydrogenolysis to give the final compound as a mixture of two epimers - TAN-1057A, B - isolated previously from a strain of Flexibacter sp. PK-74. The intermediate 3 was prepared from 3-amino-2-(N-Z-N-methylamino)propionic acid methyl ester hydrochloride (16) and 2-methyl-2-thiopseudobiuret hydroiodide (18) in one step in 35% yield.

    Notes: Although β-homoalanyl peptide nucleic acid oligomers possess a β-peptide backbone, they contain nucleobases in their side chains and are thus an interesting special case of β-peptides. These nucleobases are mainly responsible for the formation of secondary structures through base pairing and stacking. We have investigated the pairing properties of β-homoalanyl-PNA oligomers using adenine and 7-carbaadenine. Simple model studies indicate the existence of Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen pairing planes as an intrinsic structural feature of purinyl β-PNA. As a consequence, the adeninyl-β-PNA hexamer and pentamer form higher ordered structures and the 7-carbaadenine-β-PNA hexamer, which lacks a Hoogsteen pairing site, pairs as a double strand. The synthesis of adeninyl and carbaadeninyl β-nucleoamino acids and their oligomerization is described. Pairing mode and strand orientation were investigated through experiment and simple model studies. In the context of β-peptides the β-PNA oligomers for the most part tend to exist as double strands and prefer the extended β-sheet-like backbone conformation which provides an interesting structure motif in addition to the 31-helix observed for β-peptides.

    Notes: The application of our cycloSaligenyl- (cycloSal) pronucleotide concept to the approved anti-HIV dideoxynucleoside 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine AZT (1) is reported. This pro-nucleotide concept has been designed to deliver the corresponding 3′-azido-3′-deoxythymidine monophosphate AZTMP (2) by selective chemical hydrolysis from the lipophilic precursors cycloSal-AZTMP 4a-h. All derivatives 4a-h were synthesized using differently substituted salicyl alcohols 7a-h as starting materials. In hydrolysis studies, compounds 4 decomposed selectively releasing AZTMP (2) and the salicyl alcohols 7 following the designed tandem reaction. Furthermore, due to the electronic properties introduced by substituents, the half-lives of the triesters 4 could be ajusted over a wide range. Phosphotriesters 4 exhibited considerable biological activity in HIV-1 and HIV-2 infected wild-type human T-lymphocyte (CEM/O) cells, whereas, contrary to our expectations, nearly all activity was lost in HIV-2 infected thymidine-kinase-deficient CEM cells.

    Notes: As a new scaffold for peptidomimetic synthesis, a highly constrained bifunctional diketopiperazine, 4, has been prepared by smooth N-alkylation with tert-butyl bromoacetate. As a first application, we describe herein the synthesis of new peptidomimetics of the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence. The product 30, which shows a selective platelet-aggregation inhibiting activity, can be used as a lead for the preparation of more potent products.

    Notes: In the reactions of dimethyldioxirane (1a) and methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (1b) with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (2) (TEMPO) in acetone, the corresponding methoxyamine 1-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (5) is produced in ≥98% yield, both in air and under N2, and in the absence or presence of a hydrocarbon (adamantane). Kinetic experiments show that aminoxyl 2 triggers the radical decomposition of the dioxirane, in addition to scavenging methyl radicals derived therefrom. The reactions of an aminoxyl less prone to oxidation, namely 1,2-dihydro-2-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-indol-3-one-1-oxyl (4), with dioxiranes 1a and 1b in acetone have also been studied. In these cases, not only is the corresponding methoxyamine 8a produced (yield 12-16%), but quinoneimine-N-oxides 10 (yield 12-21%) and 11 (yield 18-19%) are also formed. Furthermore, significant amounts (8-14%) of the amine 9 (the product of deoxygenation of 4) can be isolated. These observations provide useful information concerning the free-radical mechanism that follows the initial attack by the aminoxyl at the dioxirane.

    Notes: A general method was developed for the synthesis of a variety of symmetric and asymmetric macrocyclic bispyridines. 3-Hydroxyalkylpyridines 18-20 were prepared, converted to the corresponding iodides and protected on the pyridine nitrogen with a p-methoxybenzyl group to give the crystalline precursors 21, 22 and 23. Reaction with a second 3-hydroxyalkylpyridine gave the corresponding bis (3-alkylpyridinium) salts, which could easily be deprotected by refluxing in pyridine (24-29). Cyclization of the iodides in refluxing acetonitrile under high dilution conditions (1-2 mM) gave the desired macrocyles in overall yields between 65 and 74%. This efficient procedure resulted in the synthesis of the muscarinic receptor antagonists cyclostellettamines A-F (1-6) and some unnatural cyclophanes (12 and 31).

    Notes: Enthalpies of formation ΔHf°(g) of ketals prepared from cyclopropanone, cyclobutanone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, and 7-norbornanone with methanol, ethylene glycol, and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, as well as of acetals/ketals of acyclic aldehydes and ketones, have been determined by measuring their heats of combustion and their heats of sublimation/vaporization. Group increments defining the strain-free energy level have been derived from the collected experimentally determined ΔHf°(g) values of unstrained acetals and ketals, and the anomeric stabilizations of these groups (given in brackets) have been calculated from a comparison of their group increments with those of ethers: CH2[2O, C] -64.9 (-20.2), CH[2O, C] -63.5 (-21.3), C[2O, 2C] -61.9 (-26.8), CH[2O, Ph] -58.4 (-16.2), C[2O, Ph, C] -56.3 (-21.2), C[2O, 2Ph] -67.1 (-32.0) kJ mol-1. Enthalpies of formation ΔHf°(g) of cyclic and spirobicyclic ketals have also been determined experimentally and compared with values obtained from molecular mechanics calculations (MM3). The close agreement of the results shows that the anomeric interactions, which are already integrated in the MM3 force field, are not dissimilar in the small-ring cyclic and spirobicyclic ketals investigated in this study. The hybridization of the anomeric carbon atom apparently has no influence on the size of the anomeric effect detectable. The strain enthalpies of the cyclic and spirobicyclic ketals have therefore been calculated from their ΔHf°(g) values using the group increment scheme. Analysis and interpretation of all geminal interactions known in acetals/ketals is possible by means of a recently developed additivity scheme, and a single value of -38.6 kJ mol-1 has been obtained for the structural increment representing the inherent geminal O-C-O interactions.

    Notes: A protected form of title compound 6a, whose two enantiomers are known to be potent α-glycosidase inhibitors, was obtained through a five-step synthesis based on two thoroughly diastereo-controlled steps. An anti-selective α-silyloxyallylation of nitrone 9 afforded hydroxylamine 8a which, after O-silylation, was subjected to iodocyclisation to give 5-iodomethylisoxazolidine 7a as a single diastereoisomer. Displacement of iodide by mesylate and hydrogenolysis of mesylate 7b furnished 6b in 20 % overall yield starting from tert-butyldimethylsilyloxyacetaldehyde.
