Vance sent me a copy [of the Contact version].
I get it. It is "abridged" from the original published
in 1988 to the point of uselessness :) Key assignments
are totally missing.
It has been turned in unintelligible technical bull shit.
The original may have been interesting. No way of knowing.
Here is the first page.

Paul,
Here is the first page of the [original] article from the original
Journal of
Aircraft publication. It is published six times per year, so, it was
probably the June issue instead of March. It is on pages 222-228 of
the Vol. 25, No. 3 issue.
I found it here: http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=318
Does anyone on the list have FREE inter-library loan privileges?
Aubrey
OK Now we are on to something. It is an AIAA publication. All the
difference in the world. AIAA is local to me. I'll see what I can
do. S. J. Miley is no longer a professor at Texas A & M.
Vance can you tell use how to get a copy of this paper?
I lost Gary Moir's email address I think. Do you have it?
Thanks Aubrey.
---------------------------------------------------
OK looks like you have to be a member to get the full pdf file.
Gary Moir are you there?
Are you a member of the AIAA Vance?
I am beginning to get a clue where David Lednicer found out
about the Kuchemann & Weber book Aerodynamics of Propulsion as
Miley referenced it in his original 1987 AIAA paper. I'll check the
UCLA technical library later today.
BTW That was 17 years ago so Miley could be dead.
----------------------------------------------
Ok I got it. UCLA tech lib copy.
Rather disappointing. Pretty much an overview of K&W, K&L
Hoerner. Stuff we have gone over a lot in the past
and covered in http://www.rotaryeng.net/how-to-cool12.html
Looks like the guy is trolling for consulting work.
You might get the impression by looking at the paper most
of the obsoleted diffusers shown are the cool tip. Only an oblique
reference to the K&M trumpet shaped, real cool tip, diffuser is
mentioned.
The Contact article missed the most important part of any tech paper.
The references on the last page. References can be used to intimidate
the
reader. Until the reader reads all the references he is never sure
the author is not full of hot air.
Paul Lamar
Paul,
Here is another paper I found while searching for the Miley article. Of
particular interest here is the mention of the mathematical model for
the diffuser-radiator-nozzle (Kessinger, 1996 and Langford, 1993).
Presumably, the paper discusses the mathematical model and compares
predicted performance to the wind tunnel tests of the Theseus wing
section containing the radiator.
The paper was:
"Performance of the wing integrated heat exchanger of the Theseus
UAV" by
J. M. Kuhlman, M. L. Kessinger, and T. C. Chaillou (West Virginia Univ.,
Morgantown) AIAA-1997-2316
AIAA Applied Aerodynamics Conference, 15th, Atlanta, GA, June 23-25,
1997, Technical Papers. Pt. 2 (A97-31695 08-02)

OK Aubrey it be awhile got a lot of honey do's this week
and then off to Tokoyo on Sunday for a week hopefully for Motor show.
Sounds intersting. Most of this work dates back to the late
50's and 60's so far. See if you can find the Journal number
and page. That was a great help. I now know where to look
in the UCLA stacks.
Paul Lamar
Opps, I forgot to attach the PDF of the first page. This is all I have
so far.
Aubrey
This looks like it will have the best set of recent references yet.
I notice David Lednicer applied CFD to the problems in 1991.
