Mechanical Design of the 50-Inch Mach 10-12 Tunnel

Abstract

The design of a 50-inch-diameter, continuous-flow, Mach 10-12 wind tunnel, currently operating at Mach 10 only, is described and related operational experience discussed. The tunnel is equipped with an axisymmetric, contoured nozzle and with a fast model injection/ retraction system. Control and data readout systems are described.

Fortschritte in der Totalsynthese von Steroiden

“…Falls die Zuganglichkeit der Enolgruppierung und das Energieniveau des Zwischenzustandes, den Angriff von derselben Seite begunstigen, ist die Reaktion in hohem MaBe stereoselektiv. Ein gutes Beispiel bieten ,,gefaltete", d. h. cis-verkniipfte, polycyclische Strukturen (59), (60), die von der konvexen a-Seite her besonders gut zuganglich sind. Ein alkylierendes Agens tritt axial in eine ,,Vor-Sesse1"-Form ein und fuhrt damit zu einem Zwischenzustand niedriger Energie (verglichen mit der ,,Vor-Twist"-Form, die aus einem P-Angriff hervorgehen miil3te) [18,65,66].…”

Aerodynamic Design and Calibration of the VKF 50-Inch Hypersonic Wind Tunnels

“…Although the mechanical design of the Mach 10 Tunnel is presented in detail in Ref. 3, the fabrication of the Mach 8 and 10 nozzles is briefly des cribed because of its effect on the Mach number distributions in the test regions.…”

“…As indicated in Ref. 3, the tolerances were specified to be smaller at the upstream end where the nozzle diameter was smaller.…”

“…The design of many of its unique details is given in Ref. 3, and the stress and thermal analysis of its throat section are given in Ref. 4.…”

Biocompatible Nanodiamonds Derived from Coal Washery Rejects: Antioxidant, Antiviral, and Phytotoxic Applications

“…The unique structural characteristics account for the inherent biocompatibility, superior colloidal dispersibility, and stable fluorescence of NDs, in addition to their primitive diamond-like properties, such as extreme hardness, abrasive nature, superior thermal conductivity, and high electrical and chemical resistance. After the discovery of the first synthetic artificial method, NDs have become a topic of intense research owing to their special applications compared to other contemporary nanomaterials. − NDs are used as coating agents for metal surfaces, additives for lubricant oils, nanofillers for wear-resistant polymers, grain refining agents in alloy formation, and so forth. More recently, NDs have been established as attractive candidates for biological and medical applications, notably for therapy, drug delivery, biomedical imaging, and bio-sensing .…”
