A quick preview of the new hypersonic wind tunnel at NC State
Переглядів 2075 місяців тому
After almost two years of preparation and installation, the hypersonic wind tunnel at NC State is finally operational! A wind tunnel capable of speeds six times faster than the speed of sound, Professor Venkat Narayanaswamy and a team of undergrad and graduate students commissioned the hypersonic wind tunnel they have been working on since 2022. The tunnel is capable of speeds up to Mach 6 and ...

Over a century ago, in 1923, what was then the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering of the University of North Carolina formally established the School of Engineering. Over the next 100 years, tens of thousands of students have forged their paths and had their lightbulb moments. Faculty members have mentored the next generations of engineers and computer scientists while ...
Solar EV Car at NC State

During the last century, many teenagers spent idle hours working on cars. This is where they learned to use tools and solve problems. Today, with the development of higher-tech automobiles and changing interests, that tradition has faded. But in the summer of 2022, students on the NC State solar car team, SolarPack, completed the fastest lap in the 30 year history of the Formula Sun Grand Prix ...

    Minor historical correction: there were actually lots of wind tunnels by the 1920s. In fact the first wind tunnels started being made in the late 1800s. In fact the Wright brothers used a wind tunnel to develop their aircraft! Cheers from a fellow wind tunnel test engineer

      This is called Cherenkov radiation. A phenomenon in which the charged particles from the fuel travel faster than the light can in water, this is what causes the blue glow and is totally normal.

    • @joslinnick
      @joslinnick 3 місяці тому

      It's Cherenkov radiation. When beta particles break the speed of light in the medium they are in (the water), they emit light. It's the electromagnetic equivalent of a sonic boom. I've taught at this reactor. It's pretty cool. You can try to get a tour if you contact the department.
