Hi,
I have a workbench test set up which consists of a compressor, followed by a 6bar supply line, followed by a regulator (for bringing the pressure down to 2bar) followed by a plenum chamber that leads to a slot that vents to atmospheric. The slot is approximately the same area as the supply...
Hi,
Are pipe flows in pneumatic aerospace systems limited to certain Mach numbers? If so, what are the reasons for this? Are there any issues associated with high pipe Mach numbers? - damage from shocks in the pipe?
Any info is much appreciated.
Kind Regards
James
I am trying to calculate the friction factor for a Fanno flow in a constant area duct. I know the friction factor is based on Reynolds number however does the Reynolds number not vary along the pipe due to a change in dynamic viscosity? (caused by a decrease in temperature along the pipe). And...
I am currently designing a convergent nozzle for use in experiments and wanted to check something:
Will the pressure and density of the flow always expand to ambient (following the isentropic relations) when it reaches the nozzle exit regardless of nozzle contraction ratio and length?
Any help...
Hi,
I am currently researching methods available for manufacturing a half-span wing model (approx 0.5m span, low sweep delta wing of varying cross section) to be used in wind tunnel experiments. A recent paper suggested the use of epoxy and micro glass beads injected into an aluminium mold for...
