Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 28P
For a laminar boundary layer on a flat plate, evaluate the kinetic energy lost between the free stream and any point in the boundary layer. Assume that the boundary layer is linear (see Problem 9.8) and use a control volume so that the flow rate for the oncoming flow and boundary layer are equal. How may this loss of kinetic energy be accounted for?

Show that when laminar flow occurs with mean velocity um between extensive stationary flat plates the
mean kinetic energy divided by mass of the fluid is 1.543 Um/2.
Consider an aerofoil in a free stream with a velocity of 50
m/s at standard sea-level conditions. At a point on the
aerofoil, the pressure is 9.5 x 104 N/m². What is the
pressure coefficient at this point?
Read the question carefully and give me right solutions with clear calculations.
The air flows past a 1m diameter disk oriented normal to upstream flow at 6.8m/s. The pressure distribution on front of the disk is function of the radius, where p(r) = (25 − 100 r2 ) N/m2 , and the pressure acts uniformly on back side with suction pressure of pback = −22 P a.
a. Determine the total drag force on the disk.
b. Calculate the drag coefficient for the disk . (Density = 1.25 kg/m3 ).

- A two-dimensional diverging duct is being designed to diffuse the high-speed air exiting a wind tunnel. The x-axis is the centerline of the duct (it is symmetric about the x-axis), and the top and bottom walls are to be curved in such a way that the axial wind speed u decreases approximately linearly from u1 = 300 m/s at section 1 to u2 = 100 m/s at section 2 . Meanwhile, the air density ? is to increase approximately linearly from ?1 = 0.85 kg/m3 at section 1 to ?2 = 1.2 kg/m3 at section 2. The diverging duct is 2.0 m long and is 1.60 m high at section 1 (only the upper half is sketched in Fig. P9–36; the halfheight at section 1 is 0.80 m).
