Vibration Survey on the NASA White Sands Steam Ejector

Abstract

Vibration and dynamic pressure measurements were made on a large steam ejector at the NASA White Sands Test Facility. Acceleration measurements were made on the ejector foundation to determine how much vibration was transmitted to the ground, and dynamic pressure measurements were made in the ejector tube to provide a basis for future scaling of the vibration data to a larger size ejector. Spectral analyses are presented for both the accelerations and pressures.
