Final Report
Description:

Tests were performed in a 0.24 scale model of a Boeing 747SP center wing tank to validate the existing assumptions for inerting complex geometric spaces, which were developed from previous experiments, and to facilitate design of an efficient, cost-effective inerting gas deposit system for full-scale, ground-based inerting testing. The model was equipped with a variable nitrogen-enriched air distribution system, thermocouples, and oxygen analyzers that were monitored and recorded continuously by a data acquisition system during each test. The model was inerted in different configurations with different flow rates and bay distributions. The collected data was nondimensionalized in terms flow rate and tank size to allow for comparisons between tests.
