Mini Wind Tunnel with Digital Data Acquisition
Subsonic desktop wind tunnel with load cell lift/drag force balance and Pitot tube differential pressure sensor.
Project Overview
Fluid dynamics lab equipment. Features honeycomb flow straighteners, variable speed blower fan, and digital load cells to measure lift and drag coefficients ($C_L, C_D$) of airfoil models in real time. ### Practical Student Engineering Solution Fully functional hardware demonstration prototype equipped with dedicated microcontrollers, precision sensors, actuators, and an interactive cloud/mobile telemetry dashboard. ### Key Learning Outcomes - Embedded C / MicroPython firmware architecture and sensor interfacing - IoT telemetry protocols (MQTT / HTTP / BLE / LoRaWAN) - Power regulation, hardware debugging, and PCB design principles - Comprehensive technical documentation aligned with IEEE academic standards
Modern commercial and industrial infrastructure requires automated, real-time sensing and telemetry. Conventional manual monitoring suffers from high latency, human error, and lack of predictive fault visibility for Mini Wind Tunnel with Digital Data Acquisition.
A turnkey engineering prototype integrating high-precision sensor modules, dedicated microcontroller unit, and cloud telemetry protocols to automate measurement, trigger alert thresholds, and provide remote dashboard control.
