An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the effects of various geometric and flow factors on the discharge coefficients for circular holes having flow parallel to the plane of the hole. The geometric and flow factors considered were hole diameter, wall thickness at the hole, parallel-fllow duct height, boundary-layer thickness, parallel-flow velocity, static-pressure level, and pressure ratio across the test hole.

This revised edition provides understanding of the basic physical, chemical, and aerodynamic processes associated with gas turbine combustion and their relevance and application to combustor performance and design. It also introduces the many new concepts for ultra-low emissions combustors, and new advances in fuel preparation and liner wall-cooling techniques for their success. It details advanced and practical approaches to combustor design for the clean burning of alternative liquid fuels derived from oil shades, tar sands, and coal. Additional topics include diffusers, combustion performance fuel injection, combustion noise, heat transfer, and emissions.

Volume XI of the High Speed Aerodynamics and Jet Propulsion series. Edited by W.R. Hawthorne and W.T. Olson. This is a comprehensive presentation of basic problems involved in the design of aircraft gas turbines, including sections covering requirements and processes, experimental techniques, fuel injection, flame stabilization, mixing processes, fuels, combustion chamber development, materials for gas turbine applications, turbine blade vibration, and performance. Originally published in 1960. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
