    • The prediction of inter-electrode breakdown in magnetohydrodynamic generators 

      Oliver, David A. (David Anthony), 1939- (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1974], 1974)
      Introduction: In this paper, a method of calculation of inter-electrode electrical breakdown phenomena in magnetohydrodynamic generators is presented. Interelectrode breakdown is observed to occur in experimental MHD ...

    • The M.I.T. Blowdown Compressor Facility 

      Kerrebrock, Jack L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1972], 1972)
      A Blowdown Compressor Test Facility has been developed which allows aerodynamic testing of full-scale compressor stages at low cost. The rotor is brought to speed in vacuum, a diaphragm is opened, and the test gas allowed ...

    • Small disturbances in compressor annuli with swirl, throughflow and entropy variation 

      Kerrebrock, Jack L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1970], 1970)
      Introduction: Control of the radiation of sound from the compressors and turbines of jet engines depends to a great extent on understanding of the propagation of acoustical modes in the ducting, the general design approach ...
