Abstract Text:

A rolling disc apparatus has been designed and built. Tractions between two crown discs lubricated with 5P4E polyphenyl ether have been measured as function of slip rate over a range of Hertz pressure (80,000-140,000 psi), rolling speeds (900-1820 ips), and temperatures (175 F - 215 F). Comparisons are made between measured tractions, Battelle data, and various analytical predictions. The MTI data agree qualitatively with Battelle measurements except that MTI data are found to be relatively insensitive to temperature whereas Battelle reports considerable temperature sensitivity. A semi-empirical mathematical model has been put forth to represent traction measurements.

A computer program for analyzing interactions under partial elastohydrodynamic conditions has been written and a listing is contained in this report.

Solid Lubricated Bearing Technology. Part I. Solid Lubricated High Speed Ball Bearing


Report Number: AFAPL TR 71-69 Part 1
Author(s): Boes, D. J.

Abstract Text:

This report describes the first year's effort of a two year program that has as its objective the development of improved self-contained, solid lubricated ball bearings capable of at least 25 hours operation at speeds approaching 60,000 rpm. The program encompasses a temperature range of -40F to 600F and a maximum load combination of 75 lb thrust/25 lb radial. The work is a follow-on effort to the completed Air Force funded program F33615-68-C-1250. During this reporting period, a high speed test stand was designed and manufactured that is capable of functionally evaluating the performance of solid lubricated, 207 ball bearings over a 30,000 to 60,000 rpm speed range. The device incorporates a 40 H.P., variable speed motor driving a transmission having a 15:1 gear ratio. A test head containing two test bearings is coupled to the output shaft of the transmission. The functional test portion of the program has thus far achieved a maximum life of 15 hours on a solid lubricated ball bearing operating at 30,000 rpm and a temperature of 200F.

Liquid Injection into a Supersonic Stream


Report Number: AFAPL TR 71-97 Volume 1
Author(s): Yates, C. L.
Corporate Author: Air Force Aero Propulsion Lab
Laboratory: Air Force Aero Propulsion Laboratory
Publication Date: 3/1/1972

Abstract Text:

Photographic data were obtained for the transverse injection of water and isopropyl alcohol from a flat-plate into airstreams having Mach numbers of 1.62 and 2.72. Jet/freestream dynamic pressure ratio, jet Reynolds and Weber numbers, and freestream Reynolds number were varied by factors of 8, 10, 11, and 3, respectively, in the jet penetration tests, and by factors of 23, 4, 9, and 5 in the jet spreading tests. Improved empirical equations for jet penetration and width were developed and were substantiated for two sets of test conditions by detailed flow-field mapping 50 jet diameters downstream using pitot-pressure, cone-static-pressure, and heated sampling probes. Since the injectant spacial distributions from the two tests were nearly similar on a nondimensionalized scale, it may be possible to use these data to predict distributions for other conditions. Finally, an improved theorectical analysis not only predicts jet penetration more accurately than previous ones, but also predicts the transverse distribution of injectant mass.
