Channel flow modeling of impingement cooling of a rotating turbine blade
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1984], 1984)
Local heat transfer distributions in impingement cooling have been measured by Kreatsoulas [1] and Preiser [2] for a range of conditions which model those in actual turbine blades, including the effects of rotation. These ...
Flow visualization study of the inlet vortex phenomenon
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1981], 1981)
The inlet vortex phenomenon was experimentally investigated in a water tunnel, using hydrogen bubble flow visualization techniques. Several inlet ambient flow combinations were studied, including an inlet and ground plane ...
Experimental investigation of Stator hub treatment in an axial flow compressor
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1981], 1981)
An experiment was carried out to examine the effects, on stator stall margin and performance, of a slotted hub treatment rotating beneath the stator of an axial flow compressor. The compressor was run with this hub treatment ...
Asymmetric inlet flows through axial compressors
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, [1980], 1980)
A new analytical method is proposed for the study of flow through highly-loaded turbomachine stages. The technique is used in the present study in order to: (i) analyze the three-dimensional induced effects of the viscous ...
A linear programming solution to the gate assignment problem at airport terminals
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)
This research solves the flight-to-gate assignment problem at airports in such a way as to minimize, or at least reduce, walking distances for passengers inside terminals. Two solution methods are suggested. The first is ...
Airline market share modeling in originating city markets
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1989], 1989)
The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 has not only affected the way airlines compete with each other, it has also changed the distribution channels that were once rigidly controlled by the airlines, travel agents and Civil ...
Interactive dynamic aircraft scheduling
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1984, 1984)
Introducing recent advances in computer technology to improve aircraft scheduling is investigated. Incorporating interactive graphics, modern database manipulation techniques, and decision support algorithms, the computer ...
A review of extended-range operations by transport aircraft
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1987], 1987)
Introduction: The safety of enroute operations of aircraft engaged in public transport has been a continuous concern since the early days of air transportation. There are a variety of inflight emergency situations which ...
IFA/1 : an interactive airline fleet assignment model
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1981], 1981)
This thesis investigates the Airline Fleet Assignment models which have been designed during the past 10 years within MIT's Flight Transportation Laboratory. Emphasis is placed on developing an interactive computer system, ...
Aviation safety analysis
(Cambridge, Mass : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1984], 1984)
Introduction: Just as the aviation system is complex and interrelated, so is aviation safety. Aviation safety involves design of aircraft and airports, training of ground personnel and flight crew members' maintenance of ...
