Abstract:
A summary of tests conducted in the Goodyear Aerospace Arc Heated Wind Tunnel is presented. This hyperthermal test facility is a non re-circulating arc tunnel with a continuous steam ejector evacuation system. The 1.8 mega watt input power is supplied by three diesel-electric locomotives. The arc or plasma generator utilizes water cooled concentric copper electrodes with magnetic spin stabilization. The arc operation time, arc head component life and diesel power utilization are summarized. Test procedures and operation of the arc tunnel are described. Development and modifications to the facility are discussed. Brief results and discussions of company funded test programs of a development nature are presented. The simulation capabilities and the operating envelope of the arc tunnel are given along with the typical test points attained during the report period. Author
