Effects of Non-Constant Enthalpy Addition on Fan-Nozzle Combinations, (9999)
It has long been recognized that a compressor or a turbine stage loading may be increased, or the efficiency improved for a given loading, by utilizing a non-constant enthalpy addition to the flow...
Throughflow in axial turbomachines with variable wall geometry (2006)
The theory of three-dimensional flow in axial turbomachines was extended to include the effects of variable hub and tip radii such as occur in the entrance stages of conventional axial flow...

ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENTS IN A FARADAY ACCELERATOR, (2005)
Goldstein,Raymond, Richmond,J. Kenneth, Oates,Gordon C.
The paper discusses the results of an experimental study of a potassium seeded-argon atmospheric pressure Faraday accelerator. Electrical conductivity, with and without applied magnetic field,...
A Variational Formulation of the Compressible Throughflow Problem. (2002)
Oates,Gordon C., Carey,Graham F.
A variational formulation of the compressible throughflow flow problem is developed. The method is suitable for the calculation of throughflow fields in which large rotational effects, large...
The Aerothermodynamics of Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines (2002)
An extensive study of many aspects of the aerothermodynamics of aircraft gas turbine engines is presented. The study consists of twenty-six chapters writen by a total of twenty-four authors. After an...
LOSS MECHANISMS OF A LOW TEMPERATURE PLASMA ACCELERATOR (1998)
OATES,GORDON C., RICHMOND,J. KENNETH
Any comparison of the performance of various thrust devices must incorporate an analysis of loss mechanisms involved. The occurrence of large losses due to dissociation and ionization in high...
BOUNDARY AND END LOSSES IN MAGNETOGASDYNAMIC GENERATORS. (1998)
Hoffman,Myron A., Hsu,Michael, Oates,Gordon C., Reilly,James P.
One of the major potential loss mechanisms for magnetogasdynamic generators operating at high Hall parameters is that of eddy currents in the entrance and exit regions of the generator. An experiment...
Throughflow Theory for Turbomachines. (1998)
Oates,Gordon C., Knight,Charles J.
Throughflow theory for flow in axial turbomachines is formulated in a way to allow consideration of the effects of variable hub and tip radii, the effects of free boundaries and the effects of...
Throughflow in axial turbomachines with variable wall geometry (1959)
The theory of three-dimensional flow in axial turbomachines was extended to include the effects of variable hub and tip radii such as occur in the entrance stages of conventional axial flow...
