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 a low-speed open-circuit subsonic wind tunnel with aninlet-to-throat area ratio of 12. The tunnel is turned on, and the pressuredifference between the inlet (the settling chamber) and the test section isread as a height difference of 10 cm on a U-tube mercury manometer.(The density of liquid mercury is 1.36 × 104 kg/m3.) Calculate thevelocity of the air in the test section.
Consider a flat plate at zero angle of attack in a hypersonic flow at Mach10 at standard sea level conditions.

What is the required angle of attack? What is the wave drag at this angle of attack? 2. A symmetrical diamond-shaped airfoil is placed at an angle of attack of 2° in a flow at Mach 2 and static pressure of 2×103 P a. The half-angle at the leading and trailing edges is 3° . If its total surface area (top and bottom) is 4 m2 , find the forces due to lift and wave drag acting on the airfoil.
An explosion occurs which creates a plane normal shock wave propagating into a region of air that is at rest (stagnation pressure po=1.0135×105Pa) and (stagnation temperature of To=290K). The speed of the shock is 1700 m/s. The air is modelled as an inviscid fluid, specific heat ratio γ=1.4 and gas constant R=287~J/kg⋅K. Calculate the air speed in m/s, relative to a stationary observer in the region behind the shock?

Consider the same Lockheed F-104 supersonic fighter shown, with the same flight conditions of Mach 2 at an altitude of 11 km. For these conditions the wing angle of attack is α = 0.035 rad = 1.98◦. Assume the chord length of the airfoil is 2.2 m, which is approximately the mean chord length for the wing. Also, assume fully turbulent flow over the airfoil. Calculate: (a) the airfoil skin friction drag coefficient, and (b) the airfoil wave-drag coefficient. Compare the two values of drag.
The stagnation chamber of a wind tunnel is connected to a high-pressure air bottle farm which is outside the laboratory building. The two are connected by a long pipe of 4-in inside diameter.
