Abstract

The thermofluids group laboratory of Ambrose Alli University (AAU) owns and operates a few high-end equipment in support of research and educational activities. The latest addition to the laboratory facility is the combined three-dimensional Lasler Doppler Anemometer (LDA) and Phase Doppler Anemometer (PDA) systems. The PDA system is capable of measuring diameter and concentration of spray droplets, while the LDA systems can measure droplet velocity for both temporal and spatial averages. The acquired system, which is supplied by Dantec Dynamics, is a non-intrusive measurement method with the ability to measure spray droplet velocities in three components. Thus, the system is the first of its kind used in Nigeria. With this high-end and state-of-the-art facility,  UTP is ready to contribute towards technology development in various thermo fluids research in  Nigeria, namely, in internal combustion, fluid dynamics, spray painting and chemical processes. This paper outlines the current research activities involving the use of 3-DLDA-PDA system, its functions, testing capabilities, and general characteristics, as well as an overview of the system.

Keywords: Lasler doppler anemometer (LDA), phase doppler anemometer (PDA), research, internal combustion, fluid dynamics
