Owner's manual

Velocity distribution at the inlet of the test section of the WT-3106 was obtained for 3 different
velocities. The TVS-1100 (a hot wire anemometer) system was used to map out the velocity
profile at the inlet of the test section. The velocity was measured at 5 points in the x direction
and at 17 points in the Y direction. The nominal velocities were chosen as 200, 300 and 600
ft/min.
