Abstract: Au anemometer using the principle of fluid amplification is described. This device has an output of approximately 0.7 inch differential water gauge per foot per second of measured air velocity and is linear over a velocity range of zero to approximately 10 feet per second. Empirical and analytical approaches to optimum design are described. Calibrations of a prototype instrument in both air and water are given.

Abstract: Report presenting performance testing of a supersonic compressor designed for a tip speed of 1400 feet per second, a pressure ratio of 2.0, and a corrected weight flow of 30.5 pounds per second. The overall performance results of the rotor alone at design speed gave a pressure ratio of 2.17, an adiabatic efficiency of 89 percent, and a weight flow of 28 pounds per second. A comparison with the predicted design results is provided.

Abstract: This chapter discusses Newton's laws of motion. The resistance to motion, or even to a change in motion, is possessed by all bodies, but with varying degrees, and is known as inertia. The amount of inertia that a body possesses depends on its size and also on what is usually termed the amount of matter in the body. Resistance to motion, or even to a change in motion, is possessed by all bodies, but with varying degrees, and is known as inertia. The absolute unit of force is that force that will impart unit acceleration to unit mass. Thus, the poundal will accelerate one pound mass at one foot per second per second. The Newton law will accelerate one kilogram mass at one meter per second per second. In the FPS system of units, gravitational units have traditionally been more important for purposes of calculation by engineers. However, the adoption of the MKS system by electrical engineers has meant that the units of this system, with their international applicability have become more important in engineering design. The Newton, which is the absolute unit of force on the SI system, is important.
