Lab Lab report Report Wind Wind tunnel

Click For Summary

To calculate static and dynamic pressure for a wind tunnel lab report, one must understand the Bernoulli equation, which relates these pressures to fluid velocity. Static pressure can be measured directly using a manometer, while dynamic pressure is calculated using the formula q = 0.5 * ρ * V², where ρ is the fluid density and V is the flow velocity. Drag force and lift force can be determined using the coefficients of drag and lift, which depend on the shape of the object and the flow conditions. It's essential to present initial calculations or attempts to facilitate further assistance. Accurate calculations are crucial for analyzing aerodynamic performance in wind tunnel experiments.

Thread 'Bernoulli vs real life experiment'

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
