Instructions
1.1 Organization of This Book
This book is divided into several sections, including instructions for writing lab reports, the background and procedure for each lab experiment, and a set of appendices. It is highly recommended that you review the guidelines for completing the written lab reports prior to your rst laboratory session. You are also expected to have read and be familiar with each experiment before attending your scheduled lab. The appendices include valuable information regarding estimating the errors associated with your experimental observations and calculations. These skills are useful not only for the laboratory component of this course, but for future experimental reporting as well.
1.2
Reports
You are reminded that all of the required course-specic written reports/assignments/labs will be assessed not only on their technical/academic merit, but also on the communication skills exhibited through them. You should make note of the following requirements regarding the formal laboratory reports. Reports must demonstrate your understanding of the experiment and background theory. A clear presentation of your observations and results is critical. Anyone reading your report with a similar education to your own should be able to reproduce your results using the same equipment. Lab reports will normally be completed by groups and must reect the contribution of each group member. It is up to you to ensure that every group member contributes equally. In the event of an unresolvable conict, students may only switch groups mid-term with prior instructor approval. You must attend the laboratory session in order to receive credit for the lab report. Missed labs will require adequate proof presented to the department ofce. You are also expected to arrive promptly for your scheduled laboratory session. Remember, if you are going to miss a laboratory session, test, or exam, always contact your instructor immediately! Reports must be typeset (e.g. prepared with a word processor.) Reports that are handwritten will not be accepted, though some sections of the report may be handwritten as noted below. Reports should be formatted with 1 margins, a 12pt font, and with 1.5 to 2 (i.e. double) spacing on standard 8.5 by 11 paper. Reports must be at least stapled to form one cohesive report. No special binding is required however loose-paged documents will not be accepted. As a minimum, each lab report must contain: A title page indicating the title of the experiment, the name(s), student number(s), section and date the experiment was performed.

If your word processor is capable of writing equations clearly then use this feature, but it is acceptable to leave adequate space and add the equations by hand. The technical writing of lab. reports is expected to be of high quality and concise. Excluding the title page, gures and tables of values, the main body of your report should not exceed four pages. Graphs and tables must be clearly presented and must be labelled (e.g. Table 1, Fig. 2) including an appropriate caption. Axes labels, a title, error bars (if applicable) and a legend (if appropriate) must be present. Computer generated plots are preferred, but hand-drawn plots on graph paper are acceptable. Lab reports will normally be marked out of 10, awarded as follows technical writing, presentation, grammar and spelling proper presentation of observations, including errors (if applicable) proper presentation of results, including errors (if applicable) sample calculations conclusion and discussion Total 3 2 2 1 2 10

Common Mistakes
Every year students will miss an opportunity to maximize their mark by making needless mistakes. Some hints as to how you can avoid making the same mistakes are as follows. Show up for each and every lab on time. The penalties for missing a lab are outlined by your instructor at the beginning of the year. The experiments are set so that you may improve upon your understanding of what you have learned from the lectures. Dont waste your time or, worse, the time of your classmates. Answer all the discussion questions and perform all the requested calculations as outlined in the lab manual. The calculations and discussion questions are clearly listed for each experiment. Check that your lab report is complete before you submit it. Provide suitable references and make proper citations. There is some exibility in how you present your references, but it is best to use a common scientic citation style. If in doubt, use the same style as used for references in this lab manual. An excellent reference on accepted writing styles is The Chicago Manual of Style (University of Chicago 2003). Dont forget to reference the source of your gures. A good rule of thumb is: if its not yours, cite the source! Dont use footnotes for citations. Footnotes should only be used for adding extraneous information that would interfere with the ow of your text or occasionally to reference an unusual source.1 Web sites are poor (and volatile) references. While the Internet may be useful for general information and handy diagrams, the information presented on most Web sites is not peer reviewed as are text books, encyclopedia, journal papers, or conference proceedings. Check your grammar and spelling. Most word processors have at least a spell-check feature. Note that 30% of your lab report mark is based upon your technical writing skills. Dont plagiarize this manual verbatim in your lab report. For example, the procedure you used during your experiment may differ from that outlined in this manual. Use your own words and ideas. You are not given marks on how accurately you can copy the text of this manual. If you wish to quote a section of this manual then provide a citation. Feel free to look at previous years lab reports as a guide but do not plagiarize! Plagiarism is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct and will be dealt with harshly.
1 For
example, the denition of extraneous, as used in this context, is not forming an essential or vital part.

Work together as a group. If different members of your group are responsible for different sections of the report, make sure that everyone is clear on their respective duties. It is your responsibility to ensure that your report is a cohesive document and is completed on time. If something is not clear, ask your instructor or TA for clairication, but dont wait until the last moment!

Air Nozzle
2.1 Objective
The objective of this lab is to demonstrate the laws governing compressible ow in a convergent-divergent nozzle. This experiment will demonstrate the effect of back pressure on the ow within the nozzle and the concept of choked ow. In addition, the presence of shock waves within the nozzle ow will be demonstrated.
2.2
Theory
Consider a nozzle formed from a convergent-divergent duct as in Fig. 2.1 drawing air from a large reservoir at xed pressure p0 with back pressure pb downstream of the exit. For a rocket nozzle, the back pressure is the atmospheric pressure, which decreases with altitude. convergent section divergent section For this experiment the back pressure is controlled by a valve downstream of the nozzle exit. As we will see in this experiment, the back pressure can be shown to inuence the mass ow rate through the nozzle. reservoir back pressure pi pe throat If pb = p0 there would be no ow and thus the p0 pb mass ow rate would be zero. If the back pressure is decreased, the uid will accelerate from V 0 in the reservoir up to a maximum velocity at the narrowest portion of the nozzle (throat). If the back pressure continues to decrease, the throat velocity Vt and mass ow rate will continue to increase until the Figure 2.1: A convergent-divergent nozzle schematic Mach number at the throat reaches sonic Mt = 1 and pressure pt = p . As the local Mach number cannot increase beyond unity in a converging section, reducing the back pressure further will not increase the mass ow rate. At this point the ow is considered to be choked. Reducing pb further has no effect upon the conditions in the nozzle upstream of the throat. For choked ow, the theoretical mass ow rate can be determined from the reservoir (stagnation) pressure and throat pressures. If the expansion from the reservoir to the throat is isentropic then for choked ow (Mt = 1) the ratio of throat to stagnation pressure can be written as pt p = = p0 p0 2 k+1

Using the isentropic property relations, we can also write the ratio of throat to stagnation temperature as Tt = T0 pt p0
k1 k
To determine the theoretical mass ow rate m = VA we need to know the average uid velocity, the cross sectional area and the uid density at the throat. Applying an energy rate balance and ignoring gravity, we can determine the throat air speed using Vt = 2cp (T0 Tt ) (2.3)
where T0 is the reservoir temperature and Tt is the temperature at the throat. The uid density at the throat can be determined using the ideal gas law.
2.3
Apparatus
The nozzle apparatus, as illustrated in Fig. 2.2, can be operated with either air or steam, however for this experiment only air will be studied. Compressed air is fed into a steam chest and then passes through a polished convergentdivergent nozzle with a throat diameter of 0.191 [in]. A search tube of 0.13 [in] diameter aligned with the nozzle axis is mounted on a carrier such that it may be traversed along the axis of the nozzle. A high-grade pressure gauge attached to the top of the search tube registers the pressure at a small hole (pressure tap) drilled perpendicular to the tube axis. The location of the pressure tap may advanced in 0.1 [in] steps by rotating a setting wheel attached to the search tube carrier. At the upper limit, the pressure tap is clear of the nozzle and registers the pressure in the inlet chest. At the lower limit the pressure tap registers the pressure downstream of the nozzle. The position of the pressure tap is indicated by a pointer and scale prole of the nozzle mounted on the apparatus. The nozzle discharges into a vertical pipe of 2 [in] bore tted with a valve for controlling the downstream back pressure. After passing through a steam condenser, the ow vents to the room through a thin-plate orice ow meter.

The thin-plate orice ow meter offers a direct measurement of the volumetric ow rate as measured by the pressure drop across the sudden restriction introduced by a thin-plate orice. The volumetric ow rate can be determined using Bernoullis equation and conservation of mass as Q = (V A) = CA 2p (1 4 ) (2.4)
where C = 0.65 is the orice discharge coefcient to correct for losses within the ow meter, A is the area of the orice, p is the pressure drop across the orice, is the density of the uid, and = d/D where d and D are equal to the orice and pipe diameters respectively. For this ow meter the orice has a diameter of 1.065 [in] and is installed in a 3 [in] internal diameter pipe.
2.4
Procedure
For this experiment, only compressed air will be used as the working uid. 1. Ensure that steam valves labelled V3, V4, V5 and V6 in Fig. 2.2 are closed, and that air valve V1 is open. 2. Open back pressure valve V7 completely. 3. Set the pressure probe traversing hand-wheel to position 1. 4. Open nozzle air inlet valve V2 fully and adjust regulator R1 to obtain a nozzle inlet pressure of 75 [psig] (or as high as possible if the supply line cannot provide 75 [psig]) according to the large pressure gauge P2. Use the smaller gauge P3 attached to the inlet chest to monitor inlet pressure during the experiment. 5. When conditions are stable, advance the pressure probe through nozzle positions 5 to 27, recording the probe pressure with the large gauge and the pressure drop across the thin-plate orice ow meter with the inclined manometer, at each location. At the end, return the probe to position 1 to verify the inlet pressure using the large pressure gauge. 6. Set the pressure probe to position 28 to measure the back pressure. 7. Close the back pressure valve V7 to increase the back pressure and repeat this experiment for back pressure readings of 10 [psig], 20 [psig], 30 [psig], 40 [psig], and 60 [psig]. 8. Shut down experiment by closing air valve V2.
2.5
p Plot the pressure prole for all back pressures on one graph, using the absolute pressure ratio ( p0 ) versus probe position. Include a legend to identify each curve.
Calculate the average manometer reading for each back pressure. If the manometer scale was not adjusted to zero for no ow, correct the readings with respect to any initial offset. Calculate and tabulate the measured mass ow rate for each back pressure case as measured using the thin-plate orice ow meter. Fluid density can be determined from ambient conditions using the ideal gas law. For the zero back pressure case only, calculate the theoretical mass ow rate (using the reservoir pressure and temperature) assuming choked ow. Compare the theoretical mass ow rate to the measured mass ow rate. Note that the cross-sectional area of the throat is an annulus due to the presence of the cylindrical probe aligned with the nozzle axis. The area at the throat can be written as At = (d2 d2 ) (2.5) p 4 t where dt and dp are the diameters of the nozzle throat and probe, respectively.

pb Plot the mass ow rate versus the ratio of absolute back pressure to absolute reservoir pressure ( p0 ), and determine the pressure ratio at which the nozzle switches from choked to non-choked ow.
Discuss the reasons for the various shapes of the pressure proles. Which parts of the proles correspond to subsonic versus supersonic ow? Locate any shocks present in the divergent section and give their approximate locations by probe position. Are the shocks sharply dened or spread out? Complete one error propagation estimation for the measured ow mass ow rate of the zero back pressure case. Does the error in your measurements account for any differences between the theoretical and measured mass ow rate?

3.1 Objective
The purpose of this lab is to carry out a full-load test on the Rover 1S/60 gas turbine engine at steady state. The developed power, fuel consumption rate, and overall efciency will be determined from observed test data.
3.2
Theory
A gas turbine engine, whether used to produce thrust or shaft work, may be modeled as a thermodynamic cycle (Brayton Cycle) if an air standard analysis is applied. In the Brayton Cycle, air as an ideal gas is used as the working uid instead of air, fuel and combustion Fuel in products. In an actual gas turbine engine, energy is extracted from the hot combustion products by the 3 2 Combustor Gas Turbine Engine turbine to produce work. A fraction of this work is optional used to drive the compressor, while optionally generwork out ating shaft work for power generation. As illustrated Compressor Turbine 1 in Fig. 3.1, using an air standard analysis, the combustor is replaced by an equivalent heat addition at Air in Products 4 Heat in constant pressure. To satisfy the second law of therout modynamics and form a closed loop, an additional heat rejection to the atmosphere is used to connect Heat 3 2 Brayton Cycle Exchanger the turbine exit and compressor inlet states. This can optional work out be thought of as the air exiting the turbine and coolCompressor Turbine ing off in the atmosphere before eventually returning to the compressor inlet. For a gas turbine engine used to generate power, Heat 4 1 Exchanger we can measure the power developed at the output shaft, more commonly referred to as brake horseHeat out power, by applying a load using a dynamometer. In this experiment a hydraulic dynamometer is used, with the turbine shaft turning a rotor inside a stator Figure 3.1: A gas turbine schematic with Brayton cycle approximation. through which water ows. This mechanism is similar to the torque converter in an automatic transmission. The power developed by the engine is dissipated as heat generation in the water via viscous dissipation. Although not directly connected to the stator, the rotor applies a torque on the stator by rotating the water past the vanes of the stator. The stator casing is mounted on trunnions and is prevented from rotating by a spring scale. When a balancing

torque is applied to the stator casing at a xed RPM, the power developed by the engine equals the dynamometer loading torque times the dynamometer RPM.
3.3
Apparatus
This experiment will use the Rover 1S/60 gas turbine engine, which contains a single stage centrifugal compressor, a reverse ow combustion chamber, and a single stage axial turbine to produce a maximum of 60 [hp] with a maximum governed speed of 46000 [rpm]. The engine is loaded using a Heenan and Froude DPX2 hydraulic dynamometer. Note that the maximum reading of the dynamometer spring scale is 50 [lbf ], and for this experiment an additional 50 [lbf ] has been added to the dynamometer torque arm. A calibrated airmeter is attached at the compressor inlet for determining the air mass ow rate. The Rover gas turbine engine uses a multi-piston fuel pump with an automatic control. The fuel ow rate is measured using a rotameter mounted on the central panel. For this experiment a premium diesel fuel will be used.
3.4
Procedure
This experiment will be run with the assistance of a member of the technical staff who will prepare and operate the engine. 1. Familiarize yourself with the various components of the engine and dynamometer. 2. Record the atmospheric temperature and pressure. Record the type, heating value and specic gravity of the fuel used. 3. Complete the engine start sequence. 4. Load the engine by admitting water to the dynamometer. Balance the torque using the load balancing handwheel. Increase loading until a maximum turbine exit temperature of 1100 [F ] is reached. 5. Verify the engine is operating at steady state by observing the engine instrumentation, including all temperature, pressures and ow rates. 6. Record the indicated dynamometer load including the additional 50 [lbf ] of extra loading. Record the dynamometer speed. 7. From the central instrument panel, record the air ow meter pressure drop, compressor to turbine pressure drop, turbine exit static pressure, and compressor inlet and exit pressures. 8. Record the compressor inlet and exit temperatures and turbine exit temperature. 9. Record the fuel pressure and ow rate. In addition, record the temperature and pressure of the engine oil and dynamometer water. 10. Complete the engine shutdown sequence. Record the time for the engine to run down.

Determine the brake horsepower developed (Wb ) from the dynamometer load (W ) and dynamometer RPM (N ). Note that for this dynamometer, to calculate the power in [hp], the following formula applies WN Wb = 4500 where the load W is in [lbf ] and speed N is in [rpm]. (3.1)

Calculate the mass ow rate of fuel mf in [lbm/min]. Note the specic gravity of the fuel and that one imperial gallon of water has a mass of 10.02 [lbm]. The rotameter measures the volumetric ow rate! Using the heating value and mass ow rate of the fuel, determine the total energy added by the fuel Qin in [Btu/min]. For an equivalent Brayton cycle producing a net rate of work Wb for a given rate of heat transfer input Qin , calculate the thermal efciency of this cycle. Note that 1 [hp] = 42.41 [Btu/min]. Calculate the brake specic fuel consumption BSF C in [lbm/hp hr] BSF C = mf Wb (3.2)
Calculate the mass ow rate of air ma in [lbm/s] using the calibration chart in Fig. 3.2. Note that the air meter pressure drop is measured in inches of oil with a specic gravity of 0.827. The quantity p/pa is a dimensionless quantity. You may use the following conversions and values 1 [inH2 O ] = 0.0362 [psi] 1 [inHg ] = 0.491 [psi] x0 = 15.3 in2 Calculate the air/fuel ratio A/F . Calculate the power developed by the turbine in [hp] using an air standard analysis. Assume that the compressor is an isentropic device. Note that a fraction of the power produced by the turbine is used to drive the compressor and an additional 5 [hp] is lost to friction and accessories. Therefore the turbine power can be written as Wt = Wc + Wb + Wf (3.3)
where Wc is the compressor power and Wf is the power lost to friction and accessories. Hint: To calculate the compressor power requirement apply a mass and energy balance. Calculate the turbine inlet temperature using an air standard analysis. Do not assume the turbine is an isentropic device. Hint: Apply a mass and energy balance to the turbine. Calculate the back work ratio bwr. Calculate the thermal efciency of the gas turbine engine assuming an cold air standard analysis (k = 1.4) with the compressor pressure ratio r = p2 /p1 .

Chapter 4
The objective of this lab is to measure the thermal conductivity of two materials using a heat conduction apparatus. In addition, the thermal contact resistance at the interface between the two materials will be determined.
4.2
Theory
Fouriers law of heat conduction states that the local heat ux q/A is proportional to the local temperature gradient. Fouriers law can be written in one dimension as q dT = k (4.1) A dx where the constant of proportionality is the thermal conductivity k, and area A is the cross-sectional area at location x. For steadyTA state, one-dimensional conduction it can be shown that the heat TB ux at any location x is constant, and thus the temperature distribution, T (x), through the conducting media must be a linear function of x. If we know temperatures T1 and T2 at two loca- T tions spaced some distance L apart, then the rate of heat transfer T 4 by conduction in one-dimension can be written as T
T T1 T2 q q = kA . (4.2) T2 1 L Fig. 4.1 illustrates one-dimensional conduction through a sekA kB quence of two different materials of constant cross-sectional area. As the rate of heat transfer through both materials must be the LA LB x same, if the thermal conductivity of each material is different, then the gradient of the temperature distribution in each material Figure 4.1: One-dimensional heat conduction along a commust be different. It is important to note that there may be a subposite bar. stantial temperature drop at the interface of the two materials due to imperfections in the mating of the two surfaces. Heat transfer across the interface occurs by conduction at the contact points, by radiation between the surfaces, and by convection and conduction across any interstitial uid if present. For perfectly smooth surfaces there would be no thermal contact resistance and no discontinuity in temperature at the interface.

The thermal resistance to heat ow at the interface, or thermal contact resistance, may be dened as TA TB Rt,c = (4.3) q based upon the temperature jump across the interface and the heat transfer rate through the interface. Contact resistance may also be dened in terms of an equivalent heat transfer coefcient hi using Newtons law of cooling as q = hi A(TA TB ) which can be rearranged to solve for hi . (4.4)

Measurements will be made using the Cussons Thermal Conductivity Apparatus. A schematic diagram of the Cussons Apparatus is shown in Fig. 4.2. For illustration purT1 6.5 poses two test specimens (25 [mm] diameter bars) are shown clamped into the apparatus. Cooling The specimens are heated electrically at the upper end and cooled at the lower end by a T Tout in Water ow of water. To reduce heat losses to the surroundings, an insulation jacket (not shown) surrounds the specimens. All dimensions The conduction heat transfer rate is calculated by measuring mass ow rate and temin [mm] perature rise of the cooling water supplied to the lower end of the bar. Using an energy rate balance with constant specic heats the heat transfer rate to the water can be written Figure 4.2: Schematic diagram of as q = mcp (Tout Tin ) (4.5) the Cussons Thermal Conductivity Apparatus. The inlet and outlet temperatures of the cooling water are measured using glass thermometers. The mass ow rate is measured using a stop watch, bucket and weigh scale. Steady-state temperature measurements are made at the four locations shown in Fig. 4.2 using type-K thermocouples. Using these temperature and heat transfer rate measurements, the thermal conductivity of each sample (kA , kB ) and the interfacial contact coefcient (hi ) can be calculated using equations presented above.
4.4
Procedure
1. If not already assembled, place the aluminum and stainless steel specimens together in the apparatus as illustrated in Fig. 4.2. Check that all four thermocouples are in place and cover the apparatus with the insulating jacket. 2. Turn on the cooling water supply and switch the heater to full power. Wait for the hot end (T4 ) to reaches approximately 200 [C], then reduce the heater current to about 0.35 [amps]. 3. Allow the apparatus come to steady-state. Monitor the specimen and cooling water temperatures to conrm that steady conditions have been achieved. 4. Once at steady-state, time the collection of the cooling water in the container provided. Record the specimen temperatures, and the cooling water temperatures every two minutes. At the fourth reading, once 6 minutes has elapsed, stop collecting the cooling water. Weigh the amount of water collected.

Using this result, calculate the interfacial thermal resistance Rt,c and heat transfer coefcient hi . Calculate the thermal conductivity of both samples (kA , kB ) and compare to published values for various stainless steel and aluminum alloys. A table of values appears in the appendix of the course textbook and in Table 4.1. Determine the closest material based upon the measured thermal conductivity. If differences exist, be sure to discuss the most likely reasons in your report. The two specimens are clamped together in the apparatus. If the two specimens had simply been stacked in the apparatus, what effect might this have had on the experiment results? Suggest two methods for decreasing the thermal contact resistance between the two specimens.

Chapter 5
The objective of this lab is to determine the convective heat transfer rate from a circular cylinder in a cross ow of air. Experimental measurements will be made using a lumped capacitance transient cooling technique. Using the experimental data, an empirical correlation will be derived and compared to published results.
5.2
Theory
Forced convection from a circular cylinder in a cross ow of uid is encountered in a wide range of thermodynamics and uids engineering applications. As shown in Fig. 5.1, uid with free stream velocity U and free stream uniform temperature T ows normal to the axis of the cylinder. The cylinder has U ow , T Ts diameter D and uniform surface temperature Ts . Some theoretical solutions to this problem have been obtained for low Reynolds number. However, at turbulent moderate and high Reynolds number, an unsteady turbulent wake forms beD wake hind the cylinder making mathematical solution of the governing equations extremely difcult. Hence, in the range of most practical applications, heat transfer correlations are based on experimental measurements. For external forced convection problems, experimental heat transfer data has been found to t a relationship of the following form Figure 5.1: Forced convection from a circular 1/3 m NuD = CRe Pr (5.1) cylinder in cross ow.

In Eq. 5.1, the constant C and exponent m are obtained from a best t to experimental data. The values of C and m for several Reynolds number ranges are given in Table 5.1 (from measurements by Hilpert (Hilpert 1933).) To partially correct for property variations, all uid properties should be evaluated at the lm temperature Tf = (Ts + T )/2.

Apparatus
The convective heat transfer rate will be measured using the Plint Cross Flow Apparatus. The primary component of this apparatus is a low speed wind tunnel. A sketch of the wind tunnel is shown in Fig. 5.2. The wind tunnel has a 12.7 [cm] 12.7 [cm] cross section and is equipped with a gate on the outlet of the fan to control the air ow. A traversing pitot tube is used to measure the air velocity in the tunnel. The test cylinder has a diameter of 1.242 [cm] and is instrumented with a single thermocouple. The middle section of the cylinder is made of copper and has a length of 9.5 [cm]. Cylindrical end pieces made of phenolic are attached to the copper cylinder to reduce axial conduction. An annular heater is used to heat the cylinder prior to each test.

Procedure
1. Turn on the wind tunnel fan. With the ow control gate approximately 50% open, traverse the pitot tube over the cross section of the wind tunnel to check the velocity prole. (In a properly designed wind tunnel, the velocity should be uniform over most of the tunnel cross section.) 2. Check that the copper test cylinder is polished. Insert the copper cylinder into the annular electric heater. 3. With the wind tunnel fan on, open the ow control gate fully. Once the cylinder temperature reaches 80 [C] to 85 [C] , quickly insert the cylinder into the wind tunnel. 4. Using the data acquisition computer, immediately record the cylinder temperature at regular time intervals. Take frequent readings during the initial period of rapid cooling.

For each set of cooling data plot ln(/i ) versus time t and t a straight line through each data. Referring to Eq. 5.6, use the slope of this best-t line to calculate the average heat transfer coefcient h for each air velocity. For each set of data, calculate the air velocity from the pitot tube manometer reading. Calculate the Reynolds number, Prandtl number and average Nusselt number for each data set. Evaluate the uid properties at the average lm temperature, Tf = (Ts + T )/2. Plot ln NuD versus ln ReD (or log NuD versus log ReD ) . Fit a straight line to the data and use the slope and y-axis intercept to calculate the constant C and exponent m for your experimental data. On the same graph, plot the correlation of Hilpert (Hilpert 1933). Plot the average heat transfer coefcient h versus the free stream air velocity U . How much does the convective heat transfer rate increase if the free stream air velocity is doubled? Measurement errors caused by blockage effects are always present in an enclosed wind tunnel. The test model reduces the cross section for ow, causing the air velocity near the model to be articially high. Using your h versus U graph, estimate the approximate percentage error in h caused by wind tunnel blockage.

The objective of this lab is to numerically simulate the temperature distribution of a cylinder cooling in a cross ow of air. Experimentally determined heat transfer coefcients will be used to model convection at the outer cylinder surface. The temperature of cylinder at the centerline as a function of time will be determined numerically and compared to experimental results.

As seen in Ch. 5, the convection heat transfer coefcient, h, can be determined for a cylinder in cross ow for a variety of ow speeds. This convection coefcient can be treated as the average convection coefcient acting over the entire outer surface of the cylinder. In the case of the cylinder used in the previous experiment, the ends of the cylinder are insulated such that conduction within the cylinder may be considered to be one-dimensional. The thermocouple used to measure the temperature of the cylinder in the previous experiment is located at the cylinder centerline. The heat conduction equation, written in its simplest form for one-dimensional conduction in cylindrical coordinates, is 1 r r rk T r = cp T t (6.1)

Apparatus
For this numerical experiment we will use a conventional computer and the software package Matlab, a high-level technical computing language and environment. To approximate a solution to the governing PDE we will use the Matlab function pdepe. The function pdepe can approximate a solution to a PDE of the form rm r rm f r, t, T, T r + s r, t, T, T r = c r, t, T, T r T t (6.4)
To solve Eq. 6.1 with pdepe requires m=1 f T T =k r r T =0 s r, t, T, r T c r, t, T, = cp r r, t, T, (6.5) (6.6) (6.7) (6.8)
The function pdepe expects boundary conditions to be presented in the form p(r, t, T ) + q(r, t)f r, t, T, T r =0 (6.9)
which for r = 0 is satised with p = 0 and q = 1, and for r = ro p(ro , t, T ) = h(T T ) q(ro , t) = 1 The function pdepe approximates a solution to T (r, t) at a nite number of locations on the region r [0, ro ] and for a nite number of instances over the time span t [0, tf ]. The initial conditions are specied as values for each point on the region r [0, ro ]. The function pdepe works by approximating the PDE as an ordinary difference equation (OE). Spatial derivatives are approximated as nite differences between neighbouring points in the region r [0, ro ]. For example, a rst derivative may be approximated at location rj as T r

where the j + 1 and j 1 refer to the neighbouring values of the j-th location. Temporal derivatives may be approximated in a similar way and after suitable rearrangement allow the function to march the solution from one time step tn to the next tn+1 , beginning with the initial r ro rj-1 rj rj+1 conditions at t = 0. Note that the solution to the OE is only an ap0 proximation to the solution of the PDE, however with a suitable choice of parameters a highly accurate approximation can be constructed. As Figure 6.2: Discrete temperature distribution on rewe will use pdepe simply as a numerical tool, the exact details of gion r [0, r ] at time t o n how pdepe functions are left to future courses. It will be necessary to provide the function pdepe with the details regarding the region, time span, PDE parameters, boundary conditions, and initial conditions.

cylsolve.m
In Matlab, all text following the % character is ignored as a comment. The entry at the ith row and j-th column of a matrix, for example sol, can be retrieved with the expression sol(i,j). You can extract just the j-th column with the expression sol(:,j), or just the i-th row with the command sol(i,:).
The cylsolve function will return the temperature distribution at the centerline T (0, t) as a vector for the time span you provide as the vector t. If you type help cylsolve, Matlab should return the rst block of comments. Test your function before continuing by calling cylsolve with Ti = T for a small time span [0;0.5;1]. As the initial and freestream temperatures are equal, cylsolve should return the same temperature at each time regardless of the other parameters. For example, >> Tnum=cylsolve([0;0.5;1],10,10,1,1,1,1,1) Tnum = 10 10 10 3. Load your observations for the rst set of data (time versus temperature) from the previous lab experiment. You will need two separate vectors: t containing the times, and T containing the temperatures. You can enter this data manually, or load the data from a text le. (a) To enter the data manually, you will need to type in each entry. For example, if your time [s] versus temperature [C] data consisted of the pairs (0, 80.8), (10, 75.4), and (20, 67.7), then you could enter this data as >> t=[ 0; 10; 20] t = 0 10 20 >> T=[ 80.8; 75.4; 67.7] T = 80.8000

(b) Or, to read this data from a text le, for example from a comma-delimited le exported from a spreadsheet, use the command dlmread. If the comma-delimited le data.csv in the working directory contains 0,80.8 10,75.4 20,67.7 then the command X=dlmread(data.csv,,) would load in the data as a 3 2 matrix. This can be split into two column vectors as follows. >> X=dlmread(data.csv,,) X = 0 80.8000 10.0000 75.4000 20.0000 67.7000 >> t=X(:,1) t = 0 10 20 >> T=X(:,2) T = 80.8000 75.4000 67.7000 4. Using your cylsolve function, generate the numerical solution Tnum using your time span vector t. Ensure that you pass appropriate values for the cylinder including initial temperature Ti, air free stream temperature Tinf, convection cooling coefcient (as determined in the previous experiment) h, cylinder density rho, cylinder specic heat cp, cylinder thermal conductivity k, and cylinder diameter D. >> Tnum=cylsolve(t,T(1),<INSERT YOUR VALUES HERE>) The result will be a vector Tnum that is the same size as t and T, but represents the numerical solution to the unsteady heat conduction problem. 5. Plot the experimental and numerical temperature (T and Tnum) versus time (t) on the same plot, ensuring that the two curves are labelled clearly. Print or save this plot for your lab report. From the Figure window you may save the image in any format using FileSave As. In Matlab, you can use the plot command to produce a two-dimensional plot. For example, the following commands produce a labelled plot with a legend.

[W/m/K]); % Add a title 6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each remaining data set from the previous experiment. You should have plots for each ow control gate setting. Ensure that each plot is clearly labelled. 7. For the last data set, calculate the numerical solution using the same data, but for a cylinder that is double in diameter. Plot the experimental versus numerical temperature versus time, and include this plot in your report. Ensure that this plot is clearly labelled. 8. Print or save a copy of your le cylsolve.m for inclusion in your report. 9. When nished, if working in a public lab, erase the contents of your working directory.

Include all plots produced using Matlab, clearly labelling each plot. Include a print out of your function cylsolve.m. In the previous experiment, we used a lumped capacitance method to model the cooling of the cylinder. Conrm that the lumped capacitance method is valid for this experiment. The function pdepe returns a solution to the temperature at many radial locations within the cylinder, not just the centerline. If the lumped capacitance method is valid, how should the numerical solution at r = ro and r = 0 compare over time? For the numerical simulation of a cylinder that is double in diameter, estimate the nal temperature using the lumped capacitance method of the previous experiment. How do your numerical results compare to the lumped capacitance method value? What is the expected effect of doubling the cylinder diameter? In the previous experiment we heated the cylinder in an annular heater until the centerline temperature reached approximately 80 [C]. For the numerical experiment we assumed that the cylinder was at a uniform initial temperature. What differences might exist between the numerical and actual initial conditions? Is this a signicant source of error in our numerical solution?

Appendix A
When presenting measured values you must provide an estimate of the error. For example, if you are measuring temperature with a thermometer that is marked at every 1 degree Celsius, your best measure of the current room temperature may be 21.5 0.2[ C]. In other words, to the best of your measuring ability the temperature is 21.5[ C] with an expected error of approximately 1 of a degree. As errors are at best estimates, it is normal to truncate the error 5 at the rst non-zero digit (e.g. 0.005 rather than 0.004925.) When using digital equipment, the accuracy of the measure should be taken to be 1/2 count of the last digit shown, unless otherwise noted. For example, if a digital scale read 2.512[g], the error would be 0.0005[g]. Other sources of error, such as a small breeze across the scale, may raise the error to 0.001. Use your best judgement and record the estimate of error with your measurements. All reported observations should include an estimate of the error. All plots containing values with an estimate of error should include error bars. (If your software cannot include error bars in the gure, draw them in by hand.) When using your measured observations in a calculation you need to propagate this estimate of error throughout your calculations. Your sample calculations should demonstrate the resulting error. Pay careful attention to the instructions for each experiment to determine when your report should include error propagation analysis. For this course we will use a simplied form of the proper statistical technique (which uses standard deviations.) If we have a function formed from a pair of independent (uncorrelated) measured values x x and y y , we can estimate the error in the function using a few simple rules based upon the worst-case scenario. For addition or subtraction of two values with errors, the error is cumulative. (x x ) + (y y ) = (x + y) (x + y ) (x x ) (y y ) = (x y) (x + y ) For multiplication or division by an exact number, both the value and the error are scaled by the exact number. 2(x x ) = 2x (2x ) For multiplication of a pair of values with errors, the error is formed as follows (x x )(y y ) = xy (xy + yx + x y ) xy (xy + yx ) (A.4) (A.3) (A.1) (A.2)
assuming that x y is much smaller than the other error products. For both multiplication and division this can be reduced to an expression for the relative error xy x y = + |xy| |x| |y| x/y x y = + |x/y| |x| |y| 32 (A.5) (A.6)

For products of powers functions such as xm y n , the relative error can be determined using x xm yn y = |m| + |n| m yn | |x |x| |y| The previous operations can be summarized as follows function xy x xm y n log x error x + y x
y |xm y n | |m| x + |n| |y| |x| log x
(A.7)
For general functions that are combinations of the above, carefully determine the error for each operation, following the normal order of operations. For example, to determine the error in z(x y) where z, x, and y all have associated errors one can: 1. Calculate the error in the temporary value t1 = x y using the rule for subtraction. 2. Calculate the error in the product zt1 using the rule for products. As an alternative, to determine a statistical estimation of the error propagation for a general function F of measured values (x, y, . . .) with associated errors of (x , y , . . .) respectively, we can estimate the function error F using F = or in keeping with the simplied error analysis F = F F x + y + . . . x y (A.9) F x x

F y y
+ ...
(A.8)
Note that this may produce slightly different values than the previous methods but is acceptable given that we are at best providing an estimate of the errors.

Preamble
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modications made by others. This License is a kind of copyleft, which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software. We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
2. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all

copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Documents license notice. H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. I. Preserve the section Entitled History, Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modied Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled History in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modied Version as stated in the previous sentence. J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the History section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. K. For any section Entitled Acknowledgements or Dedications, Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. M. Delete any section Entitled Endorsements. Such a section may not be included in the Modied Version. N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled Endorsements or to conict in title with any Invariant Section. O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. If the Modied Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modied Versions license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. You may add a section Entitled Endorsements, provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modied Version by various partiesfor example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative denition of a standard. You may add a passage of up to ve words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modied Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of BackCover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modied Version.
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Documents license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to t legibly, you should put the rst ones listed (as many as t reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
4. MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modied Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modied Version under precisely this License, with the Modied Version lling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modication of the Modied Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modied Version: A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission. B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modications in the Modied Version, together with at least ve of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than ve), unless they release you from this requirement. C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modied Version, as the publisher. D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modications adjacent to the other copyright notices. F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modied Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms dened in section 4 above for modied versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodied, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.

Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled History in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled History; likewise combine any sections Entitled Acknowledgements, and any sections Entitled Dedications. You must delete all sections Entitled Endorsements.
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled GNU Free Documentation License.
8. TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modication, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. If a section in the Document is Entitled Acknowledgements, Dedications, or History, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title. If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the with...Texts. line with this:
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
9. TERMINATION
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation. If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
