Description : equipment is an open wind tunnel system equipped with a radial fan and a fog generator designed for flow visualization. The unit features a transparent test section with a cross-section of 252 by 252 millimeters, allowing for clear observation of airflow around various components such as an adjustable aerofoil and a guide vane. The set of included models consists of a cylinder, an aerofoil, a guide vane, and an orifice plate to facilitate diverse aerodynamic experiments. Performance is driven by a radial fan that produces a maximum airflow of 480 cubic meters per hour and a maximum pressure of 300 Pascals. For visualization purposes, a 700 Watt fog generator utilizes a non-toxic glycol-based fluid to produce distinct streamlines within the low-turbulence airflow. The entire system is compatible with a power supply of 230 Volts at 50 or 60 Hertz via a single-phase connection.
