Settling Tank Optimization
Contours: Number of Tanks
for 12 runs at Mach 2
•Assumptions
•Adiabatic, Polytropic,
Expansion


P1V1  P2V2
•Commercial Tank Specs
•8.5” diameter
•50” height
•2000 psi
•Conclusions
•Settling tank: 4 ft3 at 450 psi for Mach 2
•8 tanks required for 12 runs at Mach 2
•Pressure increases to 1000 psi (still 4 ft3) for Mach 3
Settling Tank Optimization
Considered dividing 4
ft3, equally, among as
many as 7 smaller
volume tanks
Assumptions




Vol: 4ft3
Hemispherical end
caps
ASME Code thickness
Carbon Steel of
nominal properties
Conclusions



Small weight savings from increasing number of tanks
Increased complexity negates savings

Conclusions
Lens array (zoom, focus iris) is needed to properly focus
and utilize the full frame.
640 x 480 resolution is the minimum to sufficiently
measure the angle.
Longer focal length for the secondary is desired.

L shape (with mirror) to compensate for longer focal length.
Very dim light source needed to avoid overpowering the
density gradient.
Color filter needed to be very dark.
Knife edge work best when cutting of 2/3 of focal point.
High knife edge accuracies needed.
Tunnel Prototype
Manufacture a sealed test section and the
adapter to the system’s NPT pipe.


Learn the intricacies of our manufacturing
method, including required man hours.
Ensure our design is properly thought out and
easily used by undergraduate students.
Hydrostatically pressure test.


To verify safe design up to a SF of 1.5.
Will be performed after CDR.
Tunnel Prototype
The left piece is an adapter
that converts 1” NPT pipe to the 3”
diameter necessary for the test
section.
The right piece is the test section
which is created using plexiglass and
steel.
The end of the test section is
sealed for hydrostatic testing of our
design before the throat (where the
pressure is the greatest).
The two pieces are held
together with 4-1/2” bolts using
the two square flanges.
