DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD OF MEASURING TURBINE WHEEL TEMPERATURES IN JET AIRCRAFT USING AN INFRARED PYROMETER,

Abstract

The adaptation of an infrared pyrometer is investigated in the development of a method of measuring turbine wheel temperatures in the J-47 turbojet engine. This report deals exclusively with the J-47 engine as used on the B-47 aircraft. However, it is intended that this investigation may also provide a basis for installation in other aircraft in which a means of monitoring turbine wheel temperatures is desired. (Author)
