An airplane is fl ying at 300 mi/h at 4000 m standardaltitude. As is typical, the air velocity relative to the uppersurface of the wing, near its maximum thickness, is 26 percenthigher than the plane’s velocity. Using Bernoulli’sequation, calculate the absolute pressure at this point on thewing. Neglect elevation changes and compressibility.
What is the critical value of the pressure coefficient for an airplane flying at 170m/s in air at 2 deg C?
How do the compressible pipe flow formulas behave forsmall pressure drops? Let air at 20°C enter a tube of diameter1 cm and length 3 m. If f = 0.028 with p1 = 102 kPaand p2 = 100 kPa, estimate the mass flow in kg/h for(a) isothermal flow, (b) adiabatic flow, and (c) incompressibleflow at the entrance density.
