The variation of the centerline velocity ratio with distance from outlet, or more properly, from start of jet expansion, is also shown on Fig. 3 for
Zones 1 and 2. Fx/F0 is plotted against X/flo and, for a range of aspect ratios, against X/\TA for the single value of K' = 7.0. Values of Vj/Fo
for_other values of K' may be obtained by direct proportioning of VK' to
V7.0. The following Example 1 which is solved on Fig. 3 will illustrate the use
of the chart,.

Example I: A grille has a core area 12 in. x 18.75 in., Hu -- 0.90, (',< -- 0.80, and K' - 5.0. Find V r (velocity through core area) when Vx 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 Fx = 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 errorfunction or probability curve which is approximated by a simple equation using common logarithms
