An investigation of the effect of acceleration on the burning rate of composite propellants
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1967-07-28); NPS-57RV7071A
The average burning rates of composite solid rocket propellant were measured in acceleration
fields up to 2000 times the standard acceleration of gravity. The acceleration vector was
perpendicular to and into the burning ...
On Inventory Record Accuracy
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1968-03); NPS55SO8031A
An inventory stock record is in error when the information on the stock record is not in agreement with the actual state of affairs. We address the questions of what is meant by inventory record accuracy as reported in the ...
Digital Analysis of Turbulence Data on the IBM 360/67 at the Naval Postgraduate School
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-07); NPS-58DW9071A
A system of time series programs used by the Institute of Oceanography of the University of British Columbia was made available to the Department of Oceanography of the Naval Postgraduate School in February 1969. This ...
An investigation of broadband miniature antennas
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1968-09); NPS-52MV8091A
The report considers the application of a negative impedance converter to a short monopole antenna. The theory of short antennas and an analysis of the negative impedance converter are presented. The frequency- response ...
Computations Pursuant to the Design of a Turbine Test Rig
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1963-09-20)
The turbine test rig requires two separate units for recording torque and thrust. A set-up using flexures and strain gages is best from the standpoint of accuracy, ease of operation, first cost and neatness of design. At ...
Design and Operation of a Hybrid Rocket Test Apparatus
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1965-06)
A hybrid rocket test apparatus was constructed at the United States Naval Postgraduate School located at Monterey, California in November of 1964. It is located at the rocket facility of the Astro/Aeronautical Laboratories. ...
Timely Curricular Changes and Academic Innovation at the Naval Postgraduate School
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1967-09-15); NPS-021K67091B
Timely curricular changes and academic innovations at the Naval Postgraduate School are consequences of a viable, non-monopolistic curricular operation. Several case histories are described to demonstrate that the time ...
A complete solution to a simple rendezvous problem
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1960-07)
Graphs are given so that one can get all of the numbers
associated with the optimum orbit-transfer problem described
here. It is hoped that the ease and speed with which the solution
can be obtained will make the simple ...
Burning to Detonation Transition in High Explosives
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-06-23)
Fluerics. 25. The Deflection of Plane Turbulent Jets by Convex Walls. Part-I
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1968-11)
The effects of geometry and Reynolds number on the attachment of a jet to a convex wall and the mechanism of high pressure recovery in convex-walled amplifiers are investigated. The results are presented in terms of ...
