Wind Tunnel Test Rig (Variable Speed With Ac Motor)

About Wind Tunnel Test Rig (Variable Speed With Ac Motor)

DESCRIPTION :

WIND TUNNEL has been developed to perform various experiments of aerodynamics and fluid flow. This is a open circuit Wind Tunnel provides a region of controlled air flow into which models can be fitted at downstream of working section. The Tunnel consists of bell mouth shaped entry to guide the air smoothly into settling chamber and stabilizes the air flow this follows working section for test section where various models can be tested. Test section with acrylic sheet, will be provided for visual observation. Working section is followed by diffuser section which reduces the dynamic pressure at the exit. A fan coupled with motor is used to produce desired wind velocity.

EXPERIMENTATION :

• To plot speed curve for wind tunnel.
• T study pressure distribution around (A) aerofoil (B) Cylinder (C) Sphere.
• To measure lift and drag on aerofoil model.
• To study the development of boundary layer along a plate in Tunnel.
