DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe steam accumulators which are to be installed at the TC13 catapult site, Naval Air Test Facility (Ship Installations) Lakehurst, New Jersey have been designed and analyzed in accordance with standard codes to insure safe operation for a specified type and number of catapult service cycles. The number of types of service cycles is infinite according to aircraft weights and end speeds, stand-by pressures, and charge-up and blow-down rates. For this report two representative cycles were selected for analysis: a typical high pressure catapult shot and a wide range charge-up blow-down operation. (Author).
