A. Introduction
The Airflow System has been specifically designed to allow students to investigate a
wide range of and low speed air flow phenomena and fundamental aerodynamics. Airflow
System base unit consists of a large capacity variable speed centrifugal fan with a separate
aerodynamically designed plenum chamber containing multiple screens, flow straightener and
acceleration section. The fan and plenum chamber are connected by a length of flexible hose and
E. Conclusion
The experiments let us, the students, to practice and demonstrate on how the velocity of
air change depending on the area of the duct. This also enables us to understand the proper use of
the instruments. The experiment also implies the importance of Bernoulli’s concept related to the
flow rate of air. There are also significant effects in the temperature and pressure over time.
