A P P E N D I X C C 1. Calibratin f Cpper-Cnstantan Thermcuples The thermcuples were calibrated accrding t British Standards BS 1042 (Part 4). The calibratin curve is given in Fig C.l. As expected the calibratin is 1 inear. C 2. Calibratin f the Ht-wire Anemmetrv The ht-wire prbes were calibrated using the DISA type 55D90 calibratin equipment. With this equipment a knwn air velcity may be applied t a ht-wire cnnected t an anemmeter and the resulting vltage utput is displayed directly nt a digital vltmeter. The anemmeter unit, a DISA type 55D01, was adjusted fr each prbe, prbe supprt and ''able accrding t the DISA Instructin and Service Manual [31] fr the anemmeter. The prbes were s similar that the nly alteratins that had t be made, when changing frm ne prbe t anther, was the varying f the decade resistance settings. This allwed fr slight differences in resistances between the prbes t be cmpensated fr. Anemmeter measurements are based n measuring the cnvective heat lss frm an electrically heated ht-wire. The respnse f a ht wire t a flw field may be described by the fllwing expressin: E 2 = E* + B -Ueffn...

During the calibratin, measurements were made f the effective clirg velcity by means f a pressure transducer within the calibratin equipment, it was als checked externally by means f a pressure tapping and inclined water manmeter. Fr values f cling velcities ranging frm 1,0 m/s t 1 2 0,0 m/s the vltage utput frm the aremmeter unit was mnitred n a Hewlett-Packard digital vltmeter. The ht-wires were calibrated in tw rientatins fr reasns which are described in Chapter 6. The tw psitins are illustrated in Figs C.2 (a) and (b). Fig C.2 - Tw Orientatins f the ht-wires

The value f n was fund t be 0,5.

The shapes f the calibrat-n curves fr all the prbes were s similar that it was thught acceptable t use the index n = 0,6 fr all f them.

The curves fr prbes 1,3 and 4 are similar, the curve fr prbe 2 is vastly different. It is expected that prbe 2 was faulty, as it brke during the preliminary tests fr n apparent reasn.

C 3. Crrectin f Ht-wire Readings fr the Influence f Temperature Variatins The calibratin charts fr the ht-wire prbes were btained fr ne calibratic^ temperature. The calibratin was carried ut at 21 C. In rder t be able t use the calibratin curves fr the determinatin f velcities at ther temperatures it is neces^ry t crrect the ht-wire eadings btained. Fr small temperature changes, apprximately 30-40 C arund the calibratin temperature, the changes in the Prandtl number, viscsity and heat cnductivity can be neglected accrding t Kanevce [28]. Frm the Nusselt number crrelatin the heat transfer cefficient is thus als unchanged fr the same velcity. The heat balance equatin fr a ht-wire is: ''w jp = (Tw - T)h... (C.7) where E is the rltage drp acrss the ht-wire Rw is the wrking resistance f the ht-wire Tw is the wrking temperature f the ht-wire T h is the fluid temperature is the heat transfer cefficient. If h is cnstant then an expressin may be btained fr the crrectin f ht-wire readings fr the change f fluid temperature: (T -T ] c 2 2 '-wnj fr n ~ TT - TT...* (^*8) w where En is the crrected vltage reading and T^ is the

temperature at which calibratin was carried ut. By using the relatinship between electrical resistance and temperature: R = Rn (l + a(t-tn))...(c.9) where R dentes resistance and ct is the thermal resistance f the ht-wire which fr the platinum is 0,0026 ft/ C equatin (C.4) may be rewritten: K - E 1 *7 5 7 -... (c -10> Thus knwing the temperature f the air, equatin (C.9) is used t calculate the resistance f the ht-wire, and equatin (C.10) is then used t crrect the vltage readfngs btained.

A P P E N D I X D D 1. Calculatin f the Vlume flw Rate thrugh a Pipe by means f the velcity Prfile The vlume flw rate thrugh the prus pipe was calculated using a numerical integratin technique. The radius f the pipe was 31,75 mm. Fr ease f cmputing the x-sectin f the pipe was fictitiusly divided int a series f annular shapes and ne inner disc. The annular shapes were f thickness Ar (except fr the uter ne) and the inner disc was f radius Ar. The velcities at the edges f these shapes are defined as shwn in Fig D.l. Fig D.1 - Velcity Prfile superimpsed n the annular shapes

Ar was chsen t be 2,5 mm as this prved t give sufficient accuracy. This required defining furteen velcities as shwn in Fig D.l. The thickness f the uter annulus was 1,75 mm t allw fr the ttal x-sectinal area t be scanned. The ttal vlume flw rate is btained by summing the individual effects f flw thrugh the annular elements. The vlume flw rate thrugh a thin annulus f radius r and thickness fir is: Vlume flw rate = 2nr fir x V.... (D.l) where V is the nrmal velcity thrugh the annulus. The velcities are defined at the fllwing psitins (see Fig D.l) V at 0 = 0 0 V j at A r = 2,5 mm V 2 at 2Ar = 5,0 mm Vi 2 at 12Av = 30,0 mm V 1 3 at 12Ar +1,75 = 31,75 mm The vlume flw rate thrugh a typ equatin (D.l) is thus: xnnulus using A (V *V Vlume flw rate = 2tt(nAr+^JAr *" (V +V ) = TTAr?(2n+l)... (D.2) The vlume flw rate thrugh the central disc is simply

given by:, ( W Vlume flw rate = ttai2---^... (D.3) this can be seen t be exactly the same as thse fr the annulae with n = 0. The flw thrugh the uter annulus is given by: Vlume flw rate * 2tt (12Ar+1-^ -)1,7 As V 13 is defined at the wall f the pipe its value is zer and s the expressin may be rewritten as fllws: Vlume flw rate = rr( 30,8 7 5) 1,7 5V 1 2... (D*4) The ttal vlume flw rate thrugh the pipe is given by cmbining equatins (D.2) t (D.4). 11 (V_+V +.) Ttal vlume flw rate * rrr2(2n+l)----*---- n=0 7(30,875)1,7 5 V i 2.... (D.5)
