Apparatus for the Remote Recording of Flow Conditions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
An instrument is described which detects total pressure, total temperature, and direction of flow simultaneously in a stream tube of one-sixteenth inch diameter. The observed directions and pressures are transmitted electrically to a remote station where they appear as pencil traces on a paper record which moves at a rate proportional to the traverse rate of the instrument. The temperature is noted at intervals and added manually to the trace. Integrators are included which permit rapid assessment of mean pressure and direction at the conclusion of a traverse, the control and maintenance of setting of the instrument being semi-automatic. A further development is also noted whereby total pressure and direction in three dimensions can be observed either manually, or remotely, by automatic means.
