HM 240

Principles of Airflow

Technical Description

The HM 240 is part of a series of units that enable experiments to be performed on flow processes with the aid of a computer. In this case experiments can be performed on air flow in conjunction with accessories.
A radial fan generates a flow speed of approx. 9m/s in a horizontal flow section. The inlet funnel ensures that the flow is low in turbulence and thus that the speed distribution in the intake pipe is homogeneous. The unit is equipped with transducers for temperature and pressure. The following accessories are required for operation: HM 240.01 Data Logging Unit. To measure the electrical power consumption, the HM 240.02 Digital Power Meter is required.

Learning Objectives / Experiments

In conjunction with optionally available accessories, the following experiments are possible:
· Determination of the fan characteristic curve
· Speed distribution across a pipe
· Speed distribution behind a cylinder in a transverse flow
· Pressure distribution around a cylinder in a transverse flow
· Friction losses in a pipe, a bend, and an elbow
· Determination of the cooling curve for a heated copper cylinder
