Vapor-Screen-Density Controller

Abstract

Density of vapor screen in wind tunnel maintained for vapor-screen photography. Vapor-screen density controller developed to control reflectivity by closed-loop means. Eliminates large step-response corrections and possesses more than enough frequency response to maintain nearly constant density in vapor screen in undisturbed flow ahead of model. Device enables user to control density of vapor screen via set-point indicator. User given indication of percentage transmittance across test section.
