Air passes through a normal shock in a supersonic wind tunnel. Upstream conditions are M1 = 1.8, T'1 =270K, and p1 = 10.0 kPa absolute. Downstream conditions are M2 = 0.6165, T2 = 413.6 K. and p2 = 36.13 kPa absolute. (Four significant figures are given to minimize round off errors.) Evaluate local isentropic stagnation conditions (a) upstream from, and (b) downstream from, the normal shock. Calculate the change in specific entropy across the shock. Plot static and stagnation state points on a Ts diagram.

The pressure in the test section is P2 = 1 atm. Assume constant density equal to standard sea level density, calculate the pressure (in kPa) required in the reservoir, P1, necessary to achieve a flow velocity V2: 40 m/s in the test section. a. From item no. 1, calculate the mass flow rate (in kg/s) through the wind tunnel. b. Calculate the Mach number of the vehicle in air. c. Calculate the Mach number of the vehicle in hydrogen.arrow_forwardA 20◦ half-angle wedge is mounted at 0◦ angle of attack in the testsection of a supersonic wind tunnel.

The throat area is one-half that of the discharge of the divergent section. Assuming the Mach number in the throat is 0.75, what are the values of the following quantities at the throat: pressure(atm), temperature(K), linear velocity(m/s), density(kg/m3), and mass velocity(kg/m2s)? What are the values of p*(in atm), T*(in K), u*(in m/s), and G* (in kg/m2.s) corresponding to reservoir conditions? Write your answers according to order of properties asked.arrow_forward

If the velocity at a point on the wing is 195 ft/s, what is the pressure coefficient at this point?arrow_forwardAir at V_1 = 800 m/s, p_1 = 100 kPa, and T_1 = 300 K passes through a normal shock. Calculate the velocity V_2, temperature T_2, and pressure p_2 after the shock.

An oblique shock, making an angle of 40° with the flow direction, is attached to the wedge. If the static pressure and temperature in the freestream are 0.5 Pa and 0°C, determine: a. the deflection angle in degrees b. the pressure ratio c. the Mach number in the downstream regionarrow_forward
- When a pitot-static tube is placed in a supersonic flow, the probe reads P = 190 kPa and P = 150 kPa. If the stagnation temperature is 400 K, estimate the freestream Mach number and velocity.arrow_forwardThe velocity ratio (v1/v2) of an isentropic flow through a supersonic wind tunnel is 0.615. if the mach number at the tunnels entry section is 0.95 find the value of mach number at the exitarrow_forwardAir flows isentropically in a channel.

- Consider an infinitely thin flat plate with a 1 m chord at an angle of attackof 10◦ in a supersonic flow. The pressure and shear stress distributions onthe upper and lower surfaces are given by pu = 4 × 104(x − 1)2 +5.4 × 104, pl = 2 × 104(x − 1)2 + 1.73 × 105, τu = 288x−0.2, andτl = 731x−0.2, respectively, where x is the distance from the leading edgein meters and p and τ are in newtons per square meter. Calculate thenormal and axial forces, the lift and drag, moments about the leadingedge, and moments about the quarter chord, all per unit span. Also,calculate the location of the center of pressure.arrow_forwardIn compressible flow, velocity measurements with a Pitot probe can be grossly in error if relations developed for incompressible flow are used. Therefore, it is essential that compressible flow relations be used when evaluating flow velocity from Pitot probe measurements. Consider supersonic flow of air through a channel. A probe inserted into the flow causes a shock wave to occur upstream of the probe, and it measures the stagnation pressure and temperature to be 620 kPa and 340 K, respectively. If the static pressure upstream is 110 kPa, determine the flow velocity.arrow_forward1. What is the significance of subsonic low-speed wind tunnels?2.
