Effect of the NACA Injection Impeller on the Mixture Distribution of a Double-Row Radial Aircraft Engine [PDF]
, 1946 The NACA injection impeller was developed to improve the mixture distribution of aircraft engines by discharging the fuel from a centrifugal supercharger impeller, thus promoting a thorough mixing of fuel and charge air.

Characterizing flows with an instrumented particle measuring Lagrangian accelerations
, 2012 We present in this article a novel Lagrangian measurement technique: an instrumented particle which continuously transmits the force/acceleration acting on it as it is advected in a flow. We develop signal processing methods to extract information on the

Force and moment rotordynamic coefficients for pump-impeller shroud surfaces [PDF]
Governing equations of motion are derived for a bulk-flow model of the leakage path between an impeller shroud and a pump housing. The governing equations consist of a path-momentum, a circumferential - momentum, and a continuity equation.

Influence of impeller and diffuser geometries on the lateral fluid forces of whirling centrifugal impeller [PDF]
Lateral fluid forces on two-dimensional centrifugal impellers, which whirl on a circular orbit in a vaneless diffuser, were reported. Experiments were further conducted for the cases in which a three-dimensional centrifugal impeller, a model of the ...

Comparative study of subsynchronous rotating flow patterns in centrifugal compressors with vaneless diffusers [PDF]
, 1982 A comparative experimental investigation of the unstable operating modes of a centrifugal compressor was made. Impeller and/or diffuser rotating stall was observed, depending on the flow conditions.
