This experiment examines the behavior of a round turbulent air jet as it mixes with surrounding air. Velocity profiles were measured at various distances along the jet to analyze how the jet spreads and the centerline velocity decays. The pressure and air density were calculated using the ideal gas law. Equipment used included an air flow machine, pressure gauge board, and pitot tube. Velocity and pressure measurements were taken by moving the pitot tube along the jet at different axial and radial positions. Calculations were performed to determine velocity and pressure values. The results provide insight into the fundamental properties and parameters of jet flow. Potential errors involve deformation of tubes affecting measurements and dust accumulation reducing air flow.

Many engineering applications rely on the behavior of a jet as it mixes into the flui d that surrounds it. An obvious example is the exhaust from a gas turbine or autom obiles. In this experiment, we determine the form of an air jet as it mixes with the surounding air in a turbulent way. If a jet's Reynolds number is low enough, it will remain laminar for a long time. In this situation, there is very little mixing with the surrounding fluid, and the jet prser ves its individuality. In some fluidic applications, where a typical pipe diameter is l ess than 1 mm, laminar jets are essential. Figure 1 shows a schematic depiction of a turbulent jet (1).

Objective:
• Velocity profile at various distances along the jet and the development of the spread of the jet. • Decay of the center-line velocity. • Analysis of the velocity profiles to show how the mass flux in the jet increases, the kinetic energy flux decreases and the momentum flux remains constant along the jet length.
1 Theory:
P atm of duhok is equal to 950 bar or 95000 N/m2
The air density is can be calculated using the ideal gas law as follows:
The pitot tube is first brought into the plane of the exit of the jet tube and the
scale readings are noted for which the axial position (X=0) and the radial position
(r=0) are zero. The latter may be obtained by taking the average of the readings
when the tube is set in line with one side and then the other side of the tube. The
pressure P o in the air box is then brought to a convenient value and traverses are
made at various axial stations along the length of the jet.
Second:
then several readings are taken gradually by moving away from the source and
according to the work schedule and after taking all the reading, take a different
diagonal reading and record its data
Finally:
calculate the velocity and pressure for both horizontal and vertical operations

5 Conclusion:
The fundamental properties of the jet flow, as well as the associated
terminology, are thoroughly discussed. The current research focuses on the restricted isothermal jet in order to better understand it. In the proposed study, the half width of the jet and the centerline velocity decay are used as primary parameters for selecting the jet. The purpose of this research is not to go into the theory of jet formation in depth. In the data center context, the basic flow parameters of a jet flow are employed to select alternative orifice designs for a better air flow pattern.
Error: Possible errors in this experiment are the possible deformation of the airflow tube and thus lead to not reading the measurements correctly, as well as the deposition of dust in the tube opening, which in turn reduces the air flow completely
