Supersonic Wind Tunnel 32449 is a test bed for examining the ?uid mechanics and associated ?uid phenomena for air travelling faster than the speed of sound. The supersonic wind tunnel is open type wind tunnel working continuously; a variable speed fan is used to draw through the wind tunnel. It draws air from the atmosphere & is after ?owing through the wind tunnel the air is discharged back to the atmosphere. In order to increase the speed of air to supersonic conditions, the air is accelerated through a converging-diverging nozzle. In the measurement section, the air is accelerated further and ?ows around a drag .The air the ?ows through the di?user where it is decelerated before entering the air blower. Interchangeable test sections are provided to generate di?erent velocities (Mach 1.4 & Mach 1.8). The trainer supplied with four di?erent test models (Wedge, Double wedge, Rocket, Bullet) For observation of the supersonic ?ow and the resulting shock fronts, the Schlieren optics system is supplied. Pressure sensors are used to measure pressure distribution, & transmitted directly to a computer using a USB based Data Acquisition System for analysis using the software.
