The wind tunnel

The experiment setup next to me is the Wind


tunnel. Understanding the aerodynamics
around a shape in many industries, especially
aerospace, automotive, and wind energy, is
crucial. By simulating various wind conditions
in a wind tunnel, engineers can test and
optimize designs before they are produced,
leading to more efficient and cost-effective
products. To produce industry-ready
engineers, our students understand the flow
characteristics in theory and learn a skill to
simulate wind conditions around a prototype
to obtain drag and lift forces from digital
sensors. They use these results to estimate
results for the full-scale bodies.
==================================
Psychometric Test rig
The experimental setup we are looking at here is called
Psychometric Test Rig; it is helpful to appreciate the air
conditioning logic better.
Interested students simulate air conditioning on the
Psychometric Test Rig, as you can notice a closed
chamber here. This chamber and its surroundings are
equivalent to a room's indoor and outdoor conditions;
students can perform a combination of multiple
industrial thermodynamic processes to achieve human
comfort or desired conditions. It allows us to test and
measure the performance of air conditioning systems
under different temperature and humidity conditions.
The test rig consists of a climate chamber set to
different temperature and humidity conditions and a
range of instruments and sensors to measure various
parameters such as airflow rate, temperature, and
humidity. Overall, the Psychometric Test Rig is an
essential tool for the air conditioning and refrigeration
industry, allowing engineers to test and optimize the
performance of these systems for maximum efficiency
and energy savings.
Heat Exchanger
Heat exchangers are essential to many industrial
processes, including power generation, chemical
processing, and HVAC systems. Heat exchangers
transfer heat from one fluid to another, and their
performance is critical to the efficiency and
cost-effectiveness of these processes. The Heat
Exchanger Experiment setup with us allows
students to test and measure the performance of
heat exchangers under different conditions, such
as flow rates, fluid temperatures, and pressure
drops. The Heat Exchanger Experiment setup
consists of a test rig with a heat exchanger, a
pump system, and a range of instruments and
sensors to measure various parameters such as
fluid temperature, flow rate, and pressure drop.
To conduct a test, two fluids are passed through
the heat exchanger, with one fluid being used to
transfer heat to the other. The performance of the
heat exchanger is then measured and recorded,
including the heat transfer rate, pressure drop,
and overall efficiency.
