  • Aviation fuel problems at high altitudes and high aircraft speeds 
    Goodger, E. M. (College of Aeronautics, 1959-01)
    Much useful data has appeared over recent years concerning the problems incurred by continued increases in operational altitudes and aircraft speeds. This report is an attempt to correlate a representative amount of ...
  • The combustion characteristics of a cylindrical-rod burner system 
    Goodger, E. M. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield., 1955-06)
    Combustion systems constructed of a multiplicity of small elements appear attractive from the aspects of low pressure loss and short chamber length. A combustion chamber has been proposed, by Spalding of Cambridge University, ...
  • The influence of engine speed upon pre-ignition 
    Goodger, E. M. (College of Aeronautics, 1956-09)
    The literature shows conflicting evidence on the effect of engine speed upon tendency to pre-ignition. Typical published results are presented and compared, together with results obtained from a single-cylinder D.V.L. ...
  • Property requirements for liquid rocket propellants 
    Goodger, E. M. (College of Aeronautics, 1959-11)
    An analysis is made of the properties necessary for liquid rocket propellants to give effective performance with acceptable handling. Typical propellants are examined against this requirement background, and their ...
  • The protection of aircraft fuel tanks against explosion hazards using inert combustion products 
    Goodger, E. M. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield., 1954-10)
    Within certain ranges of temperature and pressure, the air-vapour mixture produced above the liquid fuel in aircraft fuel tanks will support combustion, and will burn explosively on the addition of the necessary energy for ...
  • Spontaneous -ignition data of hydrocarbons and aviation fluids 
    Goodger, E. M. (College of Aeronautics, 1957-09)
    The standard A.S.T.M. method has been used to determine comparative spontaneous-ignition characteristics of 29 hydrocarbons and aviation fluids. Reasonable correlation is found with results from more precise methods. ...
  • Water injection in the normally-aspirated piston engine 
    Goodger, E. M. (College of Aeronautics, 1957-03)
    The injection of water into a spark-ignition piston engine tends to reduce both the power and the tendency to knock. Because of the latter effect the conditions of operation can be made more severe in order to realise ...
