1-28 An airplane is traveling at 275 m/s in still air at 0 °C. If the Cp value is 1.005 kj/kgk and k=1.4, which of the following is the stall temperature at the nose of the airplane?
Another unit is kgf, which is a force unit used mostly in Europe, and is defined as kp (kilopond). Explain the difference between kilopond (kp = kgf) and kilopound (103 lbf) from force units and write the unity conversion factor between them. The density of water at 4°C is = 1000 kg/m3. Express this density value in units of kp ⋅ m−4 ⋅ s2.
The value of G (universal gravitational constant) used for engineering computationsin the U.S. system of units is G = 3.439(10- 8) ft3/(slug · s2). Use theconversion factors listed in Table 1-6 to determine a value of G with units ofm3 I (kg · s2) suitable for computations in the SI system of units.
An engineer designing a light aircraft is trying to make an estimate of the diameter of the propeller needed. The design speed of the aircraft is 69m/s into still air and at this speed experience allows the engineer to assume a propeller efficiency of 88%. Other analysis shows that a thrust of 10906N must be supplied by the propeller to maintain this speed. Assuming a constant air density of 1.19 kg/m3 , determine the diameter of the ideal propeller in m to 1 decimal place.
