During the 1920s and early 1930s, the NACA obtained wind tunnel data on different airfoils by testing finite wings with an aspect ratio of 6. These data were then “corrected” to obtain infinite-wing airfoil characteristics. Consider such a finite wing with an area and aspect ratio of 1.5 ft 2 and 6, respectively, mounted in a wind tunnel where the test-section flow velocity is 100 ft/s at standard sea-level conditions. When the wing is pitched to α = −2°, no lift is measured. When the wing is pitched to α = 10°, a lift of 17.9 lb is measured. Calculate the lift slope for the airfoil (the infinite wing) if the span effectiveness factor is 0.95
A tractor-trailer truck is coasting freely, with no brakes,down an 8° slope at 1000-m standard altitude. Rollingresistance is 120 N for every m/s of speed. Its frontalarea is 9 m2, and the weight is 65 kN. Estimate the terminalcoasting velocity, in mi/h, for (a) no deflector and(b) a deflector installed.
There are numerous occasions in which a fairly uniform free-stream flow encounters a long circular cylinder aligned normal to the flow. Examples include air flowing around a car antenna, wind blowing against a flag pole or telephone pole, wind hitting electrical wires, and ocean currents impinging on the submerged round beams that support oil platforms. In all these cases, the flow at the rear of the cylinder is separated and unsteady, and usually turbulent. However, the flow in the front half of the cylinder is much more steady and predictable. In fact, except for a very thin boundary layer near the cylinder surface, the flow field may be approximated by the following steady, two-dimensional velocity components in the xy- or r?-plane:
We are testing a flat plate of length L = 1.125 m and width W = 0.225 m in a stream of air flowing with a velocity of 20 m/s. In test case 1, the air is flowing parallel to L and in test case 2 air is flowing parallel to W. Find: What portion of the boundary layer flow is laminar in each case? What is the highest laminar boundary layer thickness in each case? Assuming the flow is entirely turbulent over the plate, calculate the drag force in both test cases Take air density as 1.2 kg/m3 and its viscosity as μ=18×10−6μ=18×10−6 N.s/m2.
Suppose you are designing the propeller of a radio-controlled model airplane. The overall diameter of the propeller is 34.0 cm, and the hub assembly diameter is 5.5 cm. The propeller rotates at 1700 rpm, and the airfoil chosen for the propeller cross section achieves its maximum efficiency at an angle of attack of 14°. When the airplane flies at 30 mi/h (13.4 m/s), calculate the blade pitch angle from the root to the tip of the blade such that ? = 14° everywhere along the propeller blade.

In order to avoid boundary layer interference, engineers design a “boundary layer scoop” to skim off the boundary layer in a large wind tunnelFig. . The scoop is constructed of thin sheet metal. The air is at 20°C, and flows at V = 45.0 m/s. How high (dimension h) should the scoop be at downstream distance x = 1.45 m?
A two-dimensional diverging duct is being designed to diffuse the high-speed air exiting a wind tunnel. The x-axis is the centerline of the duct (it is symmetric about the x-axis), and the top and bottom walls are to be curved in such a way that the axial wind speed u decreases approximately linearly from u1 = 300 m/s at section 1 to u2 = 100 m/s at section 2 . Meanwhile, the air density ? is to increase approximately linearly from ?1 = 0.85 kg/m3 at section 1 to ?2 = 1.2 kg/m3 at section 2. The diverging duct is 2.0 m long and is 1.60 m high at section 1 (only the upper half is sketched in Fig. P9–36; the halfheight at section 1 is 0.80 m). (a) Predict the y-component of velocity, ?(x, y), in the duct. (b) Plot the approximate shape of the duct, ignoring friction on the walls. (c) What should be the half-height of the duct at section 2?
