    Noise suppressor for turbo fan jet engines

    Get PDF
    A noise suppressor is disclosed for installation on the discharge or aft end of a turbo fan engine. Within the suppressor are fixed annular airfoils which are positioned to reduce the relative velocity between the high temperature fast moving jet exhaust and the low temperature slow moving air surrounding it. Within the suppressor nacelle is an exhaust jet nozzle which constrains the shape of the jet exhaust to a substantially uniform elongate shape irrespective of the power setting of the engine. Fixed ring airfoils within the suppressor nacelle therefore have the same salutary effects irrespective of the power setting at which the engine is operated

    Development of electric discharge circuit damping element which increases in resistance with current and time is described. Damping element is resistor made of tungsten wire which has large resistance-temperature coefficient. Specifications of tungsten resistor and incorporation into circuit are explained

    Probe for measuring turbulent real-time shear-stress waves

    To measure spectrum, magnitude, and time-average value of turbulent shear stress in flow of gas use small, hollow sphere suspended in flow to measure drag fluctuations in two 90 deg-directions as function of time

    Reversed cowl-flap thrust augmentor

    Get PDF
    Inlet mouthpiece with variable geometry improves low-speed performance of inlet (or ejector) of jet engines by use of reversed cowl-flap mechanism. Flaps can be adjusted mechanically or system can be operated with pressure taps set so pressure on inlet face is always smaller than pressure on back of inlet

    Possibly New Charmed Baryon States from Bˉ0ppˉD0\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{0} Decay

    We examine the invariant mass spectrum of D0pD^{0}p in Bˉ0ppˉD0\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{0} decay measured by BABAR and find that through the 2-step processes of Bˉ0Bc+(D0p)pˉ\bar B^0\to {\bf B_c^+}(\to D^{0} p)\bar p, where Bc{\bf B_c} denotes a charmed baryon state, some of the peaks can be identified with the established Σc(2800)+\Sigma_c(2800)^+, Λc(2880)+\Lambda_c(2880)^+ and Λc(2940)+\Lambda_c(2940)^+. Moreover, in order to account for the measured spectrum, it is necessary to introduce a new charmed baryon resonance with (m,Γ)=(3212±20,167±34)(m,\,\Gamma)=(3212\pm 20,\,167\pm 34) MeV.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, title changed and discussions updated, version accepted for publication in Phys.
