Global Wind The region of Earth receiving the Sun’s direct rays is the equator. Here‚ air is heated and rises‚ leaving low pressure areas behind. Moving to about thirty degrees north and south of the equator‚ the warm air from the equator begins to cool and sink.

ABSTRACT The basic concept and operation of subsonic wind tunnel was demonstrated in this experiment by conducting airfoil drag analysis on a NACA 0015 airfoil. The small subsonic wind tunnel along with apparatus such as‚ the manometer rake‚ the inclined manometer and the pitot - static tube were used with different baffle settings to record varying pressure readings. To achieve this objective‚ some assumptions were made for the lower range of subsonic flow to simplify the overall analysis. From
