Wind tunnel for studying vaporization of liquids

摘要

A wind tunnel making it possible to measure the vaporization parameters of a test liquid exposed in a gas flow is disclosed. The wind tunnel comprises: a gas generator configured to generate a gas at a flow rate and at a temperature that are adjustable; a conditioning device designed to obtain a horizontal and uniform flow of the generated gas; a measurement chamber containing the liquid to be tested and various measurement devices making it possible to characterize the flow of gas passing through the measurement chamber; a tapping and analysis zone in which the gas-and-vapor mixture is tapped analyzed; and a discharge zone configured to discharge the gas-and-vapor mixture. The liquid to be tested in the tunnel presents a free surface positioned inside the measurement chamber in a manner such that it is swept continuously and tangentially by the uniform flow of gas.
