Masters Theses

Abstract

"The purpose of this thesis was to construct a device to measure the velocity of air employing sound waves. The principle of operation of the device is that the time interval required for the sound wave to travel between two points in the duct is a function of the fluid velocity. This time interval was measured both with the air flowing and with the air stationary. An equation was derived such that the mean velocity of the flowing air could be calculated by knowing the two-time intervals.

The mean velocity determined by this device was compared to the mean velocity determined by use of a pitot tube. The results obtained were found to be less than 14% above those determined with the pitot tube"--Abstract, p. ii
