In a low-speed subsonic wind tunnel with a closed test section, a static pressure tap on the wall of the tunnel test section measures 0.98 atm. The temperature of the air in the test section is 80 ˚F. A Pitot tube is inserted in the middle of the flow in the test section in order to measure the flow velocity. The pressure measured by the Pitot tube is 2,200 psf. Calculate the flow velocity (in KPH) in the test section.
