TecQuipment CYLINDER MODEL – AF1450A

TecQuipment      Warranty     

Description

A cylinder model that spans the full width of the working section of the Subsonic Wind Tunnel (AF1450). A holder (included with the wind tunnel) supports the model in the tunnel. Also, the Three-Component Balance (AF1450T, included in the package) will support the model.

The model includes a single pressure tapping so, by rotating the model, students can find the pressure distribution around the cylinder. TecQuipment offers several suitable pressure-measuring instruments (available separately).

Using a Pitot tube, students can traverse the model wake to find the downstream pressure distribution and find the drag on the model. They can compare this to direct measurements, obtained using a balance.

TecQuipment’s Smoke Generator (AFA11, not included) increases the educational value of the experiments by showing the flow of air around the model.
