HIGH PRESSURE IGNITION.
Abstract
Research was continued on a study of the physical processes which govern the ignition, by rapid compression of hydraulic fluids. The necessity of simultaneously recording a number of system variables has lead to comprehensive changes in instrumentation. Evidence of the source of the initiation of Taylor instability at the gaseous interface was found. An analysis of the heat transfer effects during the compression process was m using a rather idealized mathematical model. Comprehensive measurements of gas temperatures in various locations near the end plate were started. The initial results are given. Also see AD-417 599 to 417 601 and AD-417 603 to 417 614. (Author)
