Diseño de un túnel de viento a escala para estudiar la aerodinámica en perfiles NACA 63A418 y NACA 64A010 : Diseño del tunel de viento a escala.

Abstract

The objective of this curricular integration project was to develop a proposal for the design of a scale wind tunnel, which is intended to be built in the future and allow students of the Electromechanics career of the ESFOT to perform practices to obtain knowledge about basic principles of aerodynamics in the airfoils NACA 63A418 and NACA 64A010. Based on the theoretical review, the structural dimensioning of the different sections of the wind tunnel was developed, considering parameters and regulations that allow obtaining geometries that ensure the efficiency of the project. Using Inventor software, 3D drawings of each component were designed, detailing the dimensions, geometry and materials, as well as an assembly drawing where each component is identified for easy implementation.

The design includes a smoke chamber to visualize the behavior of the air over the airfoils, as well as a control system simulated in Proteus software that will analyze the behavior of the physical variables inside the test chamber. Finally, the selection of materials and devices is presented with their respective quotations, obtaining a budget for the proposal of a possible future implementation of the project.
