THE EFFECT OF SEA-WATER SALTS ON PERFORMANCE OF A TURBINE FOR A RESEARCH TORPEDO CONFIGURATION

摘要

In order to determine the proper inlet-gas temperature for torpedo turbine operation on propellants using sea water as a diluent, the effects of salt deposits on turbine performance as a function of working fluid temperatures were investigated. Sixteen turbine tests were con¬ducted using the combustion products of diesel fuel, hydrogen peroxide and sea water to drive a 12-lnch-dlaneter Terry turbine. Gas temperatures between 450 and 1935℉were attained by varying the sea-water flow. The fuel and oxidizer flows were constant.
