Abstract: This paper describes an experimental measurement of the effects of uneven blade spacing on the acoustic and aero-thermodynamic characteristics of high-speed, high-pressure-ratio fan rotors at two ...

Abstract: A transformation method with two parameters is described which can be applied to nonconvex optimal control problems with constraints, does not present numerical difficulties, and has a rapid ...

Abstract: A confined oblique flame anchored on a bluff object was considered in a homogeneous propane/air mixture. A laser velocimeter employing a unique single-particle processor was used to quantify the ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic characteristics of separated, recirculating flows behind a two-dimensional nozzle and bluff-body combination, which modeled a lean mixture combustor, was explored by a series of ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the feasibility of simultaneously making velocity and temperature measurements by the combined use of a laser Doppler velocimeter and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering. ...

Abstract: In Part II, a computer program that aids in the design of a twist drill is described, based on the analysis presented in Part I. A true drill and a “computer-designed” drill having identical ...
