Continuous Supersonic Wind Tunnels

AI Thread Summary
Continuous supersonic wind tunnels utilize a system of coolers, fans, vanes, nozzles, and diffusers to recycle air within the tunnel. Key types include the continuous flow wind tunnel, which maintains a steady airflow, and the blowdown wind tunnel, which uses stored compressed air to achieve supersonic speeds. These tunnels are essential for aerodynamic testing, allowing for repeated experiments without significant downtime. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the mechanics and design of these systems for effective application in research. Continuous supersonic wind tunnels play a crucial role in advancing aerospace engineering.

Hi Readers,

I have just began learning about a few types of supersonic wind tunnels. I am more concentrated on the continuous type where the air on the inside can be reused using coolers, fans, vanes, nozzles, diffusers, etc. But can someone give me a few types of these continuous supersonic wind tunnels and probably a brief description of them.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
