The objective of this study was to develop an accelerated laboratory corrosion test for screening all antifreeze compounds, eliminating the need to conduct the costly and time-consuming simulated service test. The results of this phase of research indicate that this new accelerated bench corrosion test may replace the simulated service test. (Author)

In order to increase the performance of a high performance, advanced expander-cycle engine combustor, higher chamber pressures are required. In order to increase chamber pressure, more heat energy is required to be transferred to the combustor coolant circuit fluid which drives the turbomachinery. This requirement was fulfilled by increasing the area exposed to the hot-gas by using combustor ribs. A previous technology task conducted 2-d hot air and cold flow tests to determine an optimum rib...

An analysis of the steady-state aerodynamic heating problem at high-supersonic speeds is made for two-dimensional flows with laminar boundary layers. The aerodynamic heating is shown to be reduced substantially by injecting a small amount of coolant through a porous surface into the boundary layer. The coolant injection acts in two ways to decrease the aerodynamic heating: First, and most important, the velocity profile is altered such that the rate at which heat is conducted to the surface is...

Gas turbine engines have long used fuel on its way to the combustor as a coolant for engine components. Advanced aircraft and engine technologies are demanding more cooling capacity than conventional fuel delivery systems can offer. To meet these new cooling requirements, technologies are being pursued to allow fuel to reach significantly higher temperatures without the traditional limitations associated with coking. A compact fuel/air heat exchanger is a critical component in these new...

Nanoparticles dispersed in base fluids have shown that they have increased thermal conductivity and increased heat transfer potential. In practical applications, these particles agglomerate in nanofluid to form aggregates, as opposed to completely dispersing in the base fluid. The resulting nanofluid has a size distribution of aggregated nanoparticles at different length scales. The mechanism that causes the enhanced thermal characteristics in nanofluids has not been widely researched in terms...

The object of this study was to investigate the potential of corrosion problems when commercial antifreezes are mixed between themselves or with the military antifreeze MIL-A-46153. Results show that even though some commercial antifreezes give adequate corrosion protection by themselves, mixtures are less than adequate.
