A miniature wind tunnel for use with the laser velocimeter in determining aerosol size distributions
Abstract
The design of a bench-top wind tunnel system which can be used to calibrate the outputs of aerosol generators is described. It consists of a gas supply (nitrogen), an aerosol source, nozzle, diffuser, dump tank and a vacuum pump. A wind tunnel experiment is described, using a laser velocimeter and an optical owl to measure velocity and particle size distribution.
