Results and Conclusions from the NASA Isokinetic Total Water Content Probe 2009 IRT Test

AUTHOR Administration (Nasa), National Aeronaut
PUBLISHER Independently Published (08/05/2020)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
The NASA Glenn Research Center has developed and tested a Total Water Content Isokinetic Sampling Probe. Since, by its nature, it is not sensitive to cloud water particle phase nor size, it is particularly attractive to support super-cooled large droplet and high ice water content aircraft icing studies. The instrument comprises the Sampling Probe, Sample Flow Control, and Water Vapor Measurement subsystems. Results and conclusions are presented from probe tests in the NASA Glenn Icing Research Tunnel (IRT) during January and February 2009. The use of reference probe heat and the control of air pressure in the water vapor measurement subsystem are discussed. Several run-time error sources were found to produce identifiable signatures that are presented and discussed. Some of the differences between measured Isokinetic Total Water Content Probe and IRT calibration seems to be caused by tunnel humidification and moisture/ice crystal blow around. Droplet size, airspeed, and liquid water content effects also appear to be present in the IRT calibration. Based upon test results, the authors provide recommendations for future Isokinetic Total Water Content Probe development. Reehorst, Andrew and Brinker, David Glenn Research Center NASA/TM-2010-216337, E-17274 WBS 645846.02.07.03,04.01 AIRCRAFT ICING; FLOW MEASUREMENT; ICE FORMATION; MOISTURE CONTENT; TIME MEASUREMENT; GAS PRESSURE; CONTROL SYSTEMS DESIGN; ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE; SAMPLING; SIGNATURES; HUMIDITY; ERRORS
