An experimental investigation of the surface static pressures on a flat plate due to a jet injecting transversely into a subsonic free stream was conducted. The free stream Mach numbers were 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 and the jet total pressure ranged from 0 to 1200 psig. The results are presented in tabular form with representative examples of the data shown graphically. (Author).
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 38 (thesis year 1993) a total of 13,787 thesis titles from 22 Canadian and 164 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 38 reports theses submitted in 1993, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
This experimental study was conducted on an axisymmetric air jet impinging normally on a smooth, hemispherical, concave plate. The jet Reynolds numbers, based on bulk nozzle velocity and nozzle exit air properties, were between 14,000 and 75,000. The impingement plate used in this work was a hemispherical surface with the radius of 94 mm. Calibrated Pitot tubes and a micromanometer were used for pressure and velocity measurements. The Pitot tubes were mounted on precision positioning mechanisms permitting the accurate traversing of any direction in space. The test air flow rate was measured with calibrated rotometers. The following results of this work are considered a contribution to the knowledge of the jets: 1. It was observed in the free jet zone that the minimum value of negative static pressure depends upon Reynolds number and that the location of the minimum is independent of Reynolds number. If the nozzle-to-plate distance is smaller than 20 nozzle diameters, this location is closer to nozzle exit in proportion to plate proximity. For any nozzle-to-plate distance larger than 20 nozzle diameters, the location of minimum static pressure is constant and equal to eight nozzle diameters from the nozzle exit which is in essential agreement with other researchers. 2. Maximum velocity decay in the wall jet studied was determined to be less rapid than in the case of the flat plate wall jet. 3. A semi-empirical equation for maximum velocity decay in the wall jet was obtained. The development of this equation was based on integral momentum analysis. 4. Empirical equations for "reference boundary velocity" decay and maximum velocity decay in the wall jet were found. The results obtained from the equations are close to experimental results. 5. The developed hemispherical wall jet boundary layer was found to be much thinner than it is in the flat plate case. This fact may be significant in heat transfer.
