Summary: | Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === The design and installation at the Naval Postgraduate School of a cold-flow test facility for the turbine of the high-pressure fuel turbopump of the Space Shuttle Main Engine, is reported. The specific article to be tested is the 'Alternate Development Model' designed and manufactured by Pratt & Whitney. The design of individual components is documented. The installation of the facility subsystem is described in detail. A preliminary estimation of turbine performance is made. |
