ABSTRACT:
This report covers the design of a gas dynamic test facility. The facility studied is a medium scale blast simulator. The primary use of the facility would be to test fast acting, computer controlled valves. The valve would be used to control nuclear blast simulation by controlling the

release of high pressure gas from drivers into an expansion tunnel to form a shock wave. The development of the valves themselves is reported elsewhere. TU facility is composed of heated gas supply, driver tube, expansion tunnel, reaction pier, piping, sensors, and controls. The driver tube and heated gas supply are existing components. The expansion tunnel piping, sensors, and controls are all. new components. Much of the report is devoted to the design of the reaction pier and the development of heat transfer relations used in designing the piping and controls. Show Less
