The Supersonic tunnel located in Patterson Labs at Mississippi State University has been thoroughly documented for future reference purposes. Data acquisition, physical components, shutdown devices, a control program, and the hydraulic system are all discussed in detail. Analysis is performed showing that the flow within the Mach 2 nozzle only reaches Mach 1.8 for a portion of the flow, but that this portion of the flow is relatively stable for a wide range of settling chamber pressures. It is concluded that the tunnel with the nozzle blocks used functions correctly.
