| This laboratory
houses a facility for experimentation in rotating channels closely
modeling those used for the internal cooling of gas turbine
blades, with high Reynolds (max 106) and Rotation number (max
2) capabilities. It is equipped for highly resolved mass/heat
transfer measurements using naphthalene sublimation and for
local velocity and temperature measurements using hot-wire anemometry.
A high accuracy and resolution profilometer and a computerized
data acquisition system are available. |
