Modular Air Flow Bench.
Modular Air Flow Bench
Modular Air Flow bench is designed to demonstrate behaviour of bodies
during flow around or through bodies with a compressible fluid. The
purpose of experiments is familiarisation with and optimisation of drag
and the flow field around a body. The trainer consists of a centrifugal
fan, which can be used to generate flow velocities up to 40m/s. The fan
speed can be changed using Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). A
stabilisation tank with flow straightener ensures a consistent,
low-turbulence and reproducible flow in the measurement section. A
carefully shaped nozzle provides a largely homogeneous velocity
distribution of the air flow. The accessory is attached using quick
release fasteners and can be interchanged quickly and easily. Measuring
points along the measurement section allow pressure and velocity
measurements to be taken. The tube manometers are required to be able to
show the pressures clearly. Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual
is provided along with the trainer.
