The lift on a spinning circular cylinder in a freestream with a velocity of30 m/s and at standard sea level conditions is 6 N/m of span. Calculate thecirculation around the cylinder.
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.

The airplane is flying at standard sea level with a velocity of 200 m/s. Assume the wing is approximated by a flat plate and incompressible flow. If the critical Reynolds number for transition is 106, calculate the skin friction drag for the wing. Use turbulent drag as 2830 N. (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.)
