Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A000653. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Computational predictions and experimental measurements were made on the Naval Postgraduate School's cold-flow turbine test rig. The test turbine was the Space-Shuttle Main Engine, High-Pressure Fuel Turbopump, Alternate Development Model, designed and manufactured by Pratt & Whitney. The flow-field around the first-stage rotor end-wall region was measured using a laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV) system. Measurements were taken at two axial locations over the rotor blade tip and at three radial locations from the end-wall casing. Three circumferential velocity profile measurements were taken downstream of the first-stage using a three-hole pressure probe. All measurements were taken at a referred rotational speed between 4781 and 4904 rpm. A computational fluid dynamics model of the combined first-stage stator and rotor was developed. Predicted velocity data from this model were extracted for comparison to the rotor exit plane probe measurements.
