The High Temperature Turbo-jet Engine

The 985th Lecture to be given before the Society, “ The High Temperature Turbo-jet Engine ” by D. G. Ainley, B.Sc, A.M.I.Mech.E., A.F.R.Ae.S., was given at the Institution of Civil Engineers, Great George St., London, S.W.I on 15th March 1956, with Mr. N. E. Rowe, C.B.E., D.I.C., F.C.G.I., F.I.A.S., F.R.Ae.S., in the Chair. Introducing the Lecturer, Mr. Rowe said that Mr. Ainley had been working on gas turbines since 1943 when he joined the gas turbine division of the Royal Aircraft Establishment. He transferred to Power Jets Ltd. and later to the National Gas Turbine Establishment. His early work was associated with the development of axial flow compressors, contraction design and so on; he then transferred to turbine design, became head of the section dealing with turbine and heat transfer problems and for the past five or six years had been chiefly engaged on the cooling of gas turbine blades. Mr. Ainley graduated from the University of London, Queen Mary College, with first class honours. In 1953 he was awarded the George Stephenson Research Prize by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Discussion of “A note on the Manning formula”

Several statements with regard to the Manning formula that have appeared in this journal in recent months warrant further comment in order that the record may not be misunderstood.To amplify Chow's admittedly second‐hand account of the origin of the formula, the writer submits the following quotation [Rouse and Ince, 1954–5] based upon the paper itself and upon biographical information supplied by the Institution of Civil Engineers of Ireland

A note on the manning formula

The classic Manning formula is one of the foundation stones of the modern open‐channel hydraulics. Owing to its simplicity in form and satisfactory results it lends to practical applications, this formula becomes the most widely used one of all other formulas for open channel computations. This is true particularly in the United States. Despite its popularity, however, the fact is often ignored that the present appearance of the formula is not in the form which the distinguish Irish engineer [Manning, 1891] first proposed in a paper which was read on December 4, 1889 at a meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers of Ireland. A summary of the derivation and background of various velocity formulas, including Manning's is given in Calculation of Flow in Open Channels, Tech. Rep. pt. 4, Miami Conservancy District, 1916.
