Question
I need help on 4b
Question 4
In this open question, you are asked to propose a concept design and analyse a simple
supersonic wind tunnel using the knowledge gained in compressible flows. The design
is based on a wind tunnel using air. You should specify and justify your chosen air
conditions at the inlet/intake to the tunnel and other appropriate data needed in your
work.
In the test section of the tunnel, the airflow should be supersonic (for your design you
should choose one single value of Mach number in the range 1.2 to 5). The horizontal
length of the test section in the air flow direction is set to 1m. To simplify the analysis,
you can assume the airflow to be isentropic.
The tasks of the assignment involve the followings, which should be included in your
report:
(a) Brief literature review on wind tunnels
(b) (i) Specify and justify your chosen air conditions at the inlet/intake to the wind tunnel
(air pressure, temperature, velocity etc...). (ii) Justify and select the different
components/parts of your proposed wind tunnel.
(c) Specify and justify the dimensions of the different components/parts of the proposed
wind tunnel
(d) Calculate and justify the test section cross-sectional area of the tunnel
(e) Calculate and analyse the pressure and temperature at several locations of the wind
tunnel
(f) Calculate or specify/justify the mass flow rate of air
(g) Provide a simple sketch of the entire wind tunnel system with all its components
(h) Overall discussion and analysis of your design
