Sea Level Climatic Testing Chamber: Performance Information and Thermodynamic Model. Operating Characteristics of Two Largest Compartments Determined.

Abstract

The Naval Missile Center's Sea Level Climatic Chamber consists of five compartments of different sizes, and is used to simulate various climatic conditions of temperature, humidity, rain, and snow. The report describes the results of a series of performance tests which were run on the two largest (45,000 cubic feet each) compartments of the facility to determine their operating characteristics. Performance curves and data, plus a mathematical model of the thermodynamic system are presented. The details of the model derivation, along with digital computer programs to implement their use, are included because it is felt that they may have application to other thermodynamic and heat transfer problems.
