Question
A small low-speed wind tunnel is designed to calibrate hot wires (anemometer wires) (Figure 2). The
air temperature is 19 °C. The test section of the wind tunnel is 30 cm in diameter and 30 cm in
height. The flow through the test section must be as uniform as possible. The speed range of the
wind tunnel varies from 1 m/s to 8 m/s, and the design will be optimized with an airspeed of V= 4.0
m/s in the test section. For a flow state at a speed of 4.0 m/s, which is almost uniform at the
entrance to the test section, how fast does the air velocity on the tunnel axis accelerate to the end of
the test section?
