FLUID MECHANICS - CASE STUDY SOLUTION


Experimental Results Set 1

 

The first set of the experimental results belongs to unsteady flow. The change of the temperature pattern repeats itself for a period of tp (around 15 s). Hence, the flow is unsteady periodic flow.

     

Experimental Results Set 2

  The second set of the experimental results is steady flow since the temperature remains constant at around 27 oC. The temperature value is independent of time.
     

Experimental Results Set 3
  The third set of the experimental results is unsteady and random. The value of the temperature varies in an unpredicted manner for the whole period of 60 s.
