Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.19P
For the design of their gliders in 1900 and 1901, the Wright brothers used the Lilienthal Table given in Figure 1.65 for their aerodynamic data. Based on these data, they chose a design angle of attack of 3 degrees, and made all their calculations of size, weight, etc., based on this design angle of attack. Why do you think they chose three degrees?
Hint: From the table, calculate the ratio of lift to drag, L/D, at 3 degrees angle of attack, and compare this with the lift-to-drag ratio at other angles of attack. You might want to review the design box at the end of Section 1.8, especially Figure 1.36, for the importance of L/D.

determine the heat loss and heat transfer requirements for an air conditioningsystem in a storage room.
Steps:1. Collect Data: Review the Technical Specifications Document for details like storage roomdimensions, wall thickness, and materials. Use the ASHRAE CLIMATIC DESIGN CONDITIONS tocollect local data.2. Calculate Room Surface Area: Determine the total surface area of the storage room,accounting for walls and ceiling. Assume that the floor is well insulated and that heat transferwithin the floor is negligible.3. Assess Insulation: Evaluate the insulation thickness and material properties.4. Calculate Heat and Ventilation Loads (Heat Loss Calculations): In general, heat loadcalculations include several components, such as internal equipment, lighting, and heat gainsfrom external sources. For this project, identify and quantify the main heat loads affecting therefrigeration system, focusing specifically on:• Heat gains from the outside environment (through walls, doors, and ceiling)•…
