Measurement Of The Velocity And Temperature Profiles Of Air Swirling Through A Conical Shaped Nozzle, Stephen Abner Thompson
Measurement Of The Velocity And Temperature Profiles Of Air Swirling Through A Conical Shaped Nozzle, Stephen Abner Thompson
Masters Theses
"A study was conducted to determine the velocity and temperature distributions in swirling flow of air through a converging nozzle. Radial traverses were taken at three axial positions with a specially designed pitot tube constructed of hypodermic needles. The most significant finding was the large magnitude of the radial velocity component. A combination of reversed axial flow along the nozzle axis, and an outward flow near the nozzle surface was also experienced. An increase of temperature with increasing radial position may be attributed to the Ranque-Hilsch effect"--Abstract, page ii.
