Two war planes travel one above the other at a speed of 3600kmph at two different altitudes. The first one travels at an altitude of 1km above earths surface and the second one travels at an altitude of 11km. The air temperature at 1km altitude is 20°C. The air temperature continuously drops by 6°C for each 1000m altitudes we go up. Determine the Mach number of both aircrafts at their respective altitudes. Assume R = 287 J/kgK; γ=1.4
During major windstorms, high vehicles such as RVs and semis may be thrown off the road and boxcars off their tracks, especially when they are empty and in open areas. Consider a 6000-kg semi that is 10 m long, 2.5 m high, and 2 m wide. The distance between the bottom of the truck and the road is 0.8 m. Now the truck is exposed to winds from its side surface. Determine the wind velocity that will tip the truck over to its side. Take the air density to be 1.1 kg/m3 and assume the weight to be uniformly distributed.
An engineer is designing a subsonic wind tunnel. The test section is to have a cross-sectional area of 4 m2 and an airspeed of 60 m/s. The air density is 1.2 kg/m3. The area of the tunnel exit is 10 m2. The head loss through the tunnel is given by hL=0.025VT2/2g, where VT is the airspeed in the test section. Calculate the power needed to operate the wind tunnel. Hint: Assume negligible energy loss for the flow approaching the tunnel in region A, and assume atmospheric pressure at the outlet section of the tunnel. Assume α = 1.0 at all locations.
