Fluorescent visualization for turbomachine research
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine Laboratory, [1978], 1978)
The quantitative gas fluorescence flow visualization technique using 2,3 butanedione as a tracer, has been refined and improved. Upgrading of the imaging system is responsible for the principal improvement. The technique ...
A Dynamic Programming approach to the Aircraft Sequencing problem
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1978], 1978)
In this report, a number of Dynamic Programming algorithms for three versions of the Aircraft Sequencing problem are developed. In these, two alternative objectives are considered: How to land all of a prescribed set of ...
Turbulent mixing in swirling flow
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, [1978], 1978)
The effect of swirl on the mixing of two gas streams of the same density in coaxial annular geometry has been examined. The flow is studied via a fluorescent tracer, 2-3 biacetyl. Through direct excitation, collisional ...
Demand models for U.S. domestic air passenger markets
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1978, 1978)
The airline industry in recent years has suffered from the adverse effects of top level planning decisions based upon inaccurate demand forecasts. The air carriers have recognized the immediate need to develop their ...
The ASNA formula : a new concept -- cost per passenger mile (kilometer)
(Cambridge Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1978], 1978)
The demand for air transport is affected by the usual extraneous factors, demographic, social and economic, as well as those falling properly within the sphere of the industry itself such as the quality of service, safety, ...
Stalled flow performance of a single stage transonic compressor
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, [1978], 1978)
The stalled flow performance of a single stage transonic compressor is examined, using data from the MIT Gas Turbine Laboratory's Blowdown Compressor Facility. Measurements of the blowdown corrected weightflow are included, ...
