Chapter 12, Problem 12.4P

Equation ( 12 . 24 ) . from linear supersonic theory. predicts that C d for a flat plate decreases as M increases? Does this mean that the drag force itself decreases as M increases? To answer this question, derive an equation for drag as a function of M , and evaluate this equation.

How do we use the Buckingham pi theorem to prove that drag coefficient is dimensionless?
A model of a jet fighter aircraft of the military is to be tested in a pressurized helium wind tunnel to identify the effects of flying at supersonic speeds. Which of the following is the primary criterion to be satisfied such that the model and prototype are dynamically similar? Select one: O a. Reynolds Law O b. Mach Law О с. Froude Law O d. Weber Law
Consider a solid iron sphere entering the earth's atmosphere at 13 km/s (slightly above es- cape velocity) and at an angle of 15° below the local horizontal. The sphere diameter is 1 m. The drag coefficient for a sphere at hypersonic speeds is approximately 1. The den- sity of iron is 6963 kg/m³. Calculate (a) the altitude at which maximum deceleration oc- curs, (b) the value of the maximum deceleration, and (c) the velocity at which the sphere would impact the earth's surface.
