| Three low-speed
wind tunnels are available in this laboratory to permit heat
transfer experiments in geometries relevant to gas-turbine heat
transfer applications including internal cooling and film cooling
flows on a stationary frame. A water tunnel is also available
for flow visualization. The laboratory is equipped with two
laser Doppler Velocimetry Systems, a multi-channel Constant
Temperature Anemometer (CTA) system, and automated acquisition
systems and instrumentation for heat transfer, velocity, and
pressure measurements. |
