Optimization of a holographic reconstruction process for combustion phenomena.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-12)
This investigation addressed the resolution limiting speckle created
in diffusely illuminated holographic recordings. Four experimental
techniques were investigated to reduce the effect speckle imparted to
the holograms ...
An experimental investigation of the combustion behavior of solid fuel ramjets
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-12)
Limited experimental data indicated that fuel vapor composition within the SFRJ combustor may have a significant effect on the obtainable combustion efficiency and upon the dependence of combustion upon equivalence ratio ...
Hand-held computer programs for preliminary helicopter design
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-10)
This project gives the user of the HP-4441 handheld programmable calculator a series of programs that give acceptable results during the preliminary phases of the helicopter design process. The project consists of three ...
Finite element program for calculating flows in turbomachines with results for NASA Task-1 compressor
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-10)
A general mesh generation code (MESHGEN) and finite element flow solver (TURBO) for calculating the flow development through axial turbomachines are fully documented. The finite element approach followed Hirsch and Warzee. ...
Particle size determination in small solid propellant rocket motors using the diffractively scattered light method.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-10)
A dual beam apparatus was developed which simultaneously
measured particle size (D32) at the entrance and exit of an
exhaust nozzle of a small solid propellant rocket motor. The
diameters were determined using measurements ...
Effects of wind on the aircraft optimum cruise performance and flight performance advisory systems for F-4E and F-5E aircraft.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-06); NPS67-82-006
One of several fuel-saving operational concepts being investigated is the application of state-of-the-art hand-held calculators to serve as Flight Performance Adivosry Systems (FPAS). The principal function of a FPAS is ...
Postbuckling behavior of graphite/epoxy cloth shear panels with 45º-flanged lightening holes
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-03)
An experimental and finite-element analysis was performed on graphite/epoxy cloth plates
subjected to static shear loading. Two specimens were tested to failure for each of three configurations: a solid panel, a panel ...
Experimental investigation of thrust augmenting ejectors using vane excited primary jets
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-03)
An experimental investigation has been conducted to evaluate the entrainment characteristics of a thrust augmenting ejector, with a small, oscillating airfoil inserted in the potential core of the primary jet. Velocity ...
Automatic control and data acquisition system for combustion laboratory applications.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982)
A modern computer based automatic data acquisition/control
system was installed at the Department of Aeronautics' Combustion
Laboratory. This system utilizes an HP-85 desktop computer
as system controller for the HP-3054A ...
