Summary

A 5.5-inch-diameter wind tunnel delivering dust-laden air has been designed and constructed. An analysis employing mass and momentum conservation has been developed, to provide a method of specifying the tube output from measurements of input conditions, with little or uncritical use of specialized dust instruments. The tube is capable of producing suspended dust-to-air density ratios up to more than 1, at flow speeds up to 485 feet per second. The tube performance is, however, somewhat erratic. Improvements are planned to stabilize its operation.
