I want to know some of the measuring techniques and necessary components for measuring the pressure of a rotating flow in a pipe. I came across something called a five-hole probe, and some suggestions saying something like a fast response pressure probe that moves along the axial direction? Can...
I'm designing a test rig for a 1m diameter Tesla Turbine. I'm currently choosing between a hydraulic dynamometer and an eddy current dynamometer. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Is there a better dynamometer option for measuring the torque and power? And what are the essential...
I'm designing a turbine test rig, and for the air supply system, I'm thinking to have a compressor connected to an air receiver, then to a back pressure regulator, and finally to a converging nozzle connected to the turbine. There are some known variables, the turbine nozzle inlet diameter is...
I’m trying to minimise the thickness of a rotating disk and I want to know what limitations there are. First it has to be a uniform thickness disk, the rotational speed, the material used and the basic geometry of the disk are known (apart from thickness). Are there any direct relationships...
