Performance optimization of wind tunnel using experimental method [electronic resource]

Subject(s):

Automobiles -- Aerodynamics -- Testing

Dissertation note: Project paper (Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Automotive Engineering) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang - 2009 Abstract: A low speed wind tunnel has been developed by previous student. However, the performance of the wind tunnel is not proven yet either using experimental method or simulation. Besides that, the instrumentation devices are still uncompleted to carry out any experiment. Since then, several improvements to this method as well as new methods have been developed. For this thesis, the objective is to analysis the performance of hand make wind tunnel using the experimental method. The model that are proposed is cylinder and sphere. Additionally, predictions of the pressure change in the tunnel due to the energy of the propeller were taken by using manometer tube. Basically the task are given by study about wind tunnel and existing wind tunnel in Mechanical Lab UMP. For the data taken for pressure distribution are attaching of measure devices on wind tunnel. Then fabricate testing models. Beyond that, carry out the performances test of the wind tunnel by evaluating the test model. The pressure predictions are inaccurate when compared to experimental data and it is suggested that this be an area for further study.

For this thesis, the objective is to analysis the performance of hand make wind tunnel using the experimental method. The model that are proposed is cylinder and sphere.
