Instrument Options

C1440-15

20 tube manometer for manual readings

C1440-16

16-channel A/D, 2-channel D/A data acquisition card. Sixteen 0-10" H2O pressure sensors. With Labview software. Capable of sixteen channels, real time data or log to disk. Computer controlled motor speed and airfoil angle of attack.

C1440-17

Digital rpm readout allows direct readout of the motor rpm

Optional Models

C1440-21a

NACA 2415 airfoil with eight pressure tappings - manually controlled

C1440-21b

NACA 2415 airfoil with eight pressure tappings - computer controlled with C1440-14 option

C1440-22

Additional NACA 0015 airfoil to be used with C14-21

C1440-23

Additional NACA 4415 airfoil to be used with C14-21

C1440-24

Flat plate to be used with C14-21

C1440-30

2-component beam balance – 10 - 500 gram equivalent sensitivity

C1440-31

Golf ball experiment – Demonstrates of the effect of dimples on a golf ball

C1440-34

Racing car demonstration – A model racing car, fitted with pressure tappings. The wind velocity and drag profile can be measured. Two other non-instrumented model cars are provided. These can be positioned around the instrumented car to allow students to investigate drafting and slipstreaming effects. With 2-component beam balance can measure frontal and lateral forces.

C1440-35

Buildings demonstration – Allows the student to construct simple model buildings from Lego bricks, and to study the effect on wind velocity and air turbulence

C1440-36

Venturi fluid flow studies – Two sets of plates with 10 degree and 15 degree divergent angles, to illustrate the continuity law, laminar flow and flow separation.
