DESIGN, CALIBRATION AND SIMULATION CAPABILITY OF THE ROSEMOUNT AERONAUTICAL LABORATORIES’ HIGH TEMPERATURE HYPERSONIC FACILITY

摘要

This report describes the high temperature hypersonic facility of the Rosemount Aeronautical Laboratories, University of Minnesota. The discussion of failures, improvements and additions to the facility outlines the progress through the years since original construction.nPerformance graphs for the facility are included as well as a discussion of related instrumentation and optical equipment. The facility presently operates with a 12 in. by 12 in. test section at Mach number 7, with stagnation pressures from 50 psia to 150 psia and stagnation temperatures from 1000°R to 3000°R.nPotential development of the facility is suggested in the performance curves and discussed in the conclusions.
