Zones 1 and 2. Vx/Vii is plotted against X/Ho and, for a range of aspect ratios, against X/yfA for the single'value of K' = 7.0. Values of VjVo for other values of K' may be obtained by direct proportioning of y/K' to V7.0.
The following Example 1 which is solved on Fig. 3 will illustrate the use of the chart.
Example 1: A grille has a core area 12 in. x 18.75 in., R(, = 0.90, Cd = 0.80, and K' = 5.0. Find V,, (velocity through core area) when V* is 50 fpm for throw of 50 feet (X = 50).

The maximum throw L is usually defined as the distance from the outlet face where the centerline velocity is 50 fpm. Therefore, for Vx = 50 fpm,

Velocity Profiles of Jets
In Zone 3 of both axial and radial jets, the velocity distribution may be expressed by a single curve (Fig. 4) in terms of dimensionless coordinates, and this same curve can be used as a good approximation for adjacent' por tions of Zones 2 and 4. Experiments have shown that temperature and density differences have but a small effect on cross-sectional velocity pro files.
Velocity distribution in Zone 3 can be expressed by the Gauss erroriunction or probability curve which is approximated by a simple equation using common logarithms
