Abstract: With certain types of prefilming airblast atomizers, the manner in which the atomizing air impinges on the liquid sheet prohibits the wave formation that normally precedes the breakup of a ...

Abstract: An analytical study is made of the substantial body of experimental data acquired during recent Wright-Patterson Aero Propulsion Laboratory sponsored programs on the effects of fuel properties ...

Abstract: The attainment of very low pollutant emissions, in particular oxides of nitrogen (NOx ), from gas turbines is not only of considerable environmental concern but has also become an area of ...

Abstract: Cyclic constant-volume direct simple shear tests were performed on intact specimens of a sensitive clay reconsolidated to the in-situ stress state resulting in an overconsolidation ratio (OCR) of 2.2. The tests were conducted ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of a series of monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests carried out to study the influence of the rate of strain and load cycles on the undrained shear strength of three undisturbed sensitive clays ...

Abstract: The plastic strain energy required for failure in low-cycle biaxial fatigue is estimated using the energy in uniaxial fatigue and assumptions from the theory of plasticity. A criterion for ...

Abstract: Weak extinction data obtained from an experimental apparatus designed to simulate the characteristics of practical afterburner combustion systems are presented. The apparatus supplies mixtures of ...

Abstract: Experimental and theoretical studies are made of the factors governing the blowoff velocities of stabilized flames supplied with flowing gaseous combustible mixtures. The test program includes ...

Abstract: A series of tests has been carried out on a specially designed airblast atomizer in which the liquid is first spread into a thin sheet and then subjected on both sides to the atomizing ...
