Supersonic Wind Tunnel Model AT 012
Supersonic Wind Tunnel Model AT 012
Sci-tech Supersonic Wind Tunnel Model AT 012 is a test bed for examining the fluid mechanics and associated fluid 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 flowing 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 flows around a drag. The air the flows through the diffuser where it is decelerated before entering the air blower. Interchangeable test sections are provided to generate different velocities (Mach 1.4 & Mach 1.8). The trainer supplied with four different test models (Wedge, Double wedge, Rocket, Bullet) For observation of the supersonic flow and the resulting shock fronts, the Schlieren optics system is supplied. Pressure sensors are used to measure pressure distribution, & transmitted directly to an integrated computer using a USB based Sci-CalR Data Acquisition System for analysis using the software.

Sci-CalR Computer Control Software & Interface Sci-CalR software & hardware has been designed for use with more than 600 ‘Sci-tech’ trainers. Sci-CalR comes in a module that can be fitted or mounted on the Sci-tech trainers very easily. Sci-CalR box has 11 inches front HMI interactive panel, inside are i3 processor computer with it’s own hard drive & software processor with 16 to 32 analog and 16 to 32 digital signal data-loggers. The ‘LabVIEW’ processes the input signal with in-built data and formulae to tabulate results for the Sci-tech trainers. Sci-CalR box has HDMI output for connection to a projector or an electronic whiteboard or a monitor. Sci-CalR box has input ports for inputs from the Sci-tech trainer sensors. Sci-CalR eliminates requirement of external computer.
