FIRE SUPPRESSANT DISTRIBUTION IN AN ENGINE NACELLE

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
David R. Keyser, J C. Hewson
The flow inside an engine nacelle ground test simulator is studied for the purpose of understanding and optimizing the distribution of suppressant. One objective of this study is to identify conditions for which suppression will and will not be successful

Flow visualization of heated CO2 gas using thermal imaging

Joseph P. Rice, Howard W. Yoon, M H. Brenner, N R. Briggs, J G. Gillen
Walk-through portal detection systems are being developed to screen passengers for the presence of explosives in support of homeland security. These portals utilize a series of air-jets to remove the explosive particles for detection using ion mobility

Force Calibration Via Electrostatics

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Jon R. Pratt, John A. Kramar, Gordon A. Shaw, Lee Kumanchik
We describe the electrical and length measurements necessary to realize micronewton forces in a fashion consistent with the International System of Units (SI). We first discuss instrumentation and procedures required to accurately characterize an

Form-Profiling of Optics Using the Geometry Measuring Machine and NIST M-48 CMM

January 1, 2006
Author(s)
Nadia Machkour-Deshayes, John R. Stoup, John Lu, Johannes A. Soons, Ulf Griesmann, Robert S. Polvani
We are developing an instrument, the Geometry Measuring Machine (GEMM), to measure the profile errors of aspheric and free form optical surfaces, which require measurement uncertainties near 1nm. Using GEMM, an optical profile is reconstructed from a set
