Homework Statement
I have a part in my ANSYS Mesher that I am attempting to mesh
Homework Equations
I need to view the interior of my part as seen in the photo. However, each time I try to view my mesh this way, I get the view seen in the second image. I need to fix this issue so that I can...
The test setup I have now (or in the drawing a few replies back that I posted) was only in place to ensure the integrity of my pitot probe. Basically, I was just trying to see if my pitot probe would work or not, and now I know it does not so I will be changing my design.
In the application I...
So the problem with using the static pressure at the wall is that in the scenario I am going to be testing, there is a re circulation point at the wall which will give me an inaccurate reading, hence the need for this probe to measure both static and total pressure.
Thank you very much for the input and this all makes sense. I figured this was the problem from the beginning but due to the scenario I am trying to use this probe in, using your typical pitot static probe is not very feasible, which is why I tried this design in the first place.
So in...
Ok so I am in agreement here with everybody that using the probe in a 3/8" ID pipe is probably not best so I will no longer be using it in there, thanks for the advice. So yesterday I ran the tube in the 2" ID pipe yesterday (picture of setup attached) and I did see a very small difference using...
My apologies, I have not been receiving emails for some reason and so I had no idea people were still responding. I will try to answer everyone's questions as best I can here.
First off, RandomGuy88 you are correct. That is what I am trying to do.
Second off, all pressure measurements are GAGE...
the hole near the origin is where the flow is coming into the tube, and the hole at the end is where my pressure gage is attached to.
I am reading about 22 psi with no velocity and approximately 9 psi when I am flowing air. However, no matter which way the hole is facing, it reads the same...
No, sorry the view in the picture does not show it. The only way for the air to get into the tube is through the hole you can see, the other end of the tube is sealed.
I have made a pitot tube that I am using to measure the velocity of air in a pipe. First, I placed the probe into the pipe such that the hole in the probe was parallel to the flow to obtain static pressure. It did this successfully and I proved this using a piezometer. However, I then turned the...
