Compressible Flow Apparatus
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9930
The compressible flow apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9930) is a bench-top unit for teaching the fundamentals of compressible flow to engineering students. A variable speed multi-stage compressor drives air through a clear acrylic convergent-divergent duct designed to reach Mach 1 at the throat, and electronic pressure sensors record the pressures along the flow. It is supplied by JaincoLab for aerodynamics, gas dynamics and fluid mechanics laboratories in engineering colleges.
Specifications
The compressible flow apparatus has a 4-stage compressor of 12,200 rpm maximum speed driven by a 0.56 kW motor with torque-vector speed control, four electronic pressure sensors (two of ±1.2 kPa and two of ±100 kPa) and clear acrylic test sections.

Experiments on the compressible flow apparatus
The compressible flow apparatus lets students raise the compressor speed until the flow reaches Mach 1 at the throat of the convergent-divergent duct and compare measured pressure distributions with compressible flow theory, the core nozzle-flow practical in gas dynamics courses.
- Pressure distribution along a convergent-divergent duct
- Demonstrating choked flow when Mach 1 is reached at the throat
- Relating mass flow to pressure ratio in compressible flow
- Compressor performance studies with the optional compressor test accessory
- Aerodynamics and gas dynamics practicals in mechanical and aeronautical engineering courses
