Chapter 8, Problem 8.18P

The stagnation temperature on the Apollo vehicle at Mach 36 as it entered the atmosphere was 11.000 K. a much different value than predicted in Problem 8.17 for the case of a calorically perfect gas with a ratio of specific heats equal to 1.4. The difference is due to chemical reactions that occur in air at these high temperatures—dissociation and ionization. The analyses in this book assuming a calorically perfect gas with constant specific heats are not valid for such chemically reacting flows. However, as an engineering approximation, the calorically perfect gas results are sometimes applied with a lower value of the ratio of specific heats, a so-called “effective gamma.” in order to try to simulate the effects of high temperature chemically reacting flows. For the condition stated in this problem, calculate the value of the effective gamma necessary to yield a temperature of 11,000 K at the stagnation point. Assume the freestream temperature is 300 K.

The six steps used to solve the Navier–Stokes and continuity equations for incompressible flow with constant fluid properties are listed below in random order. Identify the correct sequence of the steps according to their numbering to solve the equations. Write out and simplify the differential equations (continuity and the required components of Navier–Stokes) as much as possible. List all appropriate assumptions, approximations, simplifications, and boundary conditions. Solve (integrate) the differential equations. These lead to one or more constants of integration. Lay out the problem and the geometry. Identify all relevant dimensions and parameters. Verify the results by checking that the flow field meets all the specifications and boundary conditions. Apply boundary conditions to obtain values for the constants of integration.   Multiple Choice   3-5-2-1-6-4   5-2-3-1-4-6   1-3-2-4-5-6   4-2-1-3-6-5
Consider liquid in a cylindrical tank. Both the tank and the liquid rotate as a rigid body as shown in the figure. The free surface of the liquid is exposed to room air. Surface tension effects are negligible. What are the velocity boundary conditions in terms of cylindrical coordinates (re, z) and velocity components (u, ug, U₂) at all surfaces, including the tank walls and the free surface? Determine velocity boundary conditions for the side wall. Free surface P = Patm Liquid R
Consider the steady, two-dimensional, incompressible velocity field: V = (u, v) = (ax + b) i` + (−ay + c) j` where a, b, and c are constants. Identify the correct expression for the pressure as a function of x and y.
