A team of scientists wants to produce a supersonic flow in the test section of a wind tunnel, at about M = 3.0 along with pressure 12.1 kPa and temperature, 216.7 K. If air is the fluid considered, the test section is 10 cm in diameter, and by assuming isentropic flow, determine the following parameters and wind tunnel settings so as to achieved the above conditions: i) m, ii) A at throat, iii) T and P in the reservoir.

Assume an inviscid, incompressible flow. Also, standard sea level density and pressure are 1.23 kg/m3 (0.002377 slug/ft3) and 1.01 × 105 N/m2(2116 lb/ft2), respectively. Consider the flow field over a circular cylinder mounted perpendicular tothe flow in the test section of a low-speed subsonic wind tunnel. Atstandard sea level conditions, if the flow velocity at some region of theflow field exceeds about 250 mi/h, compressibility begins to have an effectin that region. Calculate the velocity of the flow in the test section of thewind tunnel above which compressibility effects begin to become important, i.e., above which we cannot accurately assume totallyincompressible flow over the cylinder for the wind tunnel tests.
Engineers call the supersonic combustion in a scramjetengine almost miraculous, “like lighting a match in a hurricane.”Figure C9.8 is a crude idealization of the engine.Air enters, burns fuel in the narrow section, then exits, all at supersonic speeds. There are no shock waves. Assume areasof 1 m2 at sections 1 and 4 and 0.2 m2 at sections 2 and3. Let the entrance conditions be Ma1 = 6, at 10,000 mstandard altitude. Assume isentropic fl ow from 1 to 2,frictionless heat transfer from 2 to 3 with Q = 500 kJ/kg,and isentropic fl ow from 3 to 4. Calculate the exit conditionsand the thrust produced.
Consider a wing mounted in the test-section of a subsonic wind tunnel. The velocity of the airflow is 160 ft/s. If the velocity at a point on the wing is 195 ft/s, what is the pressure coefficient at this point?
The shock waves on a vehicle in supersonic flight cause a component ofdrag called supersonic wave drag Dw. Define the wave-drag coefficient asCD,w = Dw/q∞S, where S is a suitable reference area for the body. Insupersonic flight, the flow is governed in part by its thermodynamicproperties, given by the specific heats at constant pressure cp and atconstant volume cv. Define the ratio cp/cv ≡ γ . Using Buckingham’spi theorem, show that CD,w = f (M∞, γ ). Neglect the influence of friction.
