WIND TUNNEL APPARATUS - 5 METER

WIND TUNNEL APPARATUS - 5 METER

Model Number : EIE-AFM-08

Detailed Specification please refer after commercial part.

Features

  1. EIE educational wind tunnel provides a complete subsonic facility for the study of basic aerodynamics.
  2. Fan giving adequate flow for meaningful experiments. Wind speed is regulated by means of a Variac.
  3. Contoured contraction section to give uniform velocity distribution, so that stability of the flow occurs within the test section.
  4. Air enters the test section through a carefully designed M.S. bell mouth entry which produces a uniform steady flow.
  5. The test section is fully perspex for fixing the required models easily and easy for visualization.
  6. The outlet end incorporates a diffuser section to reduce air velocity, provided with honey comb to avoid swirling flow so that stability of the flow occurs.
  7. Wind tunnel is mounted on M.S. frame to have a robust construction to avoid the vibrations.
  8. Air velocity can be adjusted from 0 to 15 m/sec by means of a Variac.
