Flow of compressible fluids
Subsonic and sonic flow through different measuring objects
Features
- investigation of flow in compressible fluids
- varied range of experiments for studying
subsonic and sonic flow
- de Laval nozzle generates velocities up to Ma 1
Learning objectives/experiments
- pressure losses in pipes and pipe elbows
- flow in convergent/divergent nozzles
determine the speed of sound in air
- compare calculation methods for incompressible and compressible flow
- use complete continuity equation
- determine mass flow rate using nozzle and volumetric flow rate using orifice
- record calibration curve for orifice
- record fan characteristic curve at different mass flow rates and speeds
