Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 70P
Closed-circuit wind tunnels can produce higher speeds than open-circuit tunnels with the same power input because energy is recovered in the diffuser downstream from the test section. The kinetic energy ratio is a figure of merit defined as the ratio of the kinetic energy flux in the test section to the drive power. Estimate the kinetic energy ratio for the 40 ft × 80 ft wind tunnel at NASA-Ames described on page 267.
