Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.) Department of Aeronautical Engineering 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. 2012-11-19T23:58:11Z 2012-11-19T23:58:11Z 1993-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/19733 en_US This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
