Chapter 5, Problem 40P
As an aircraft flies through a cold front, an onboard instrument indicates that ambient temperature drops at the rate of 0.7° F/min. Other instruments show an air speed of 400 knots and a 2500 ft/min rate of climb. The front is stationary and vertically uniform. Compute the rate of change of temperature with respect to horizontal distance through the cold front.

Assume that both u and a are proportional to T 1/2. Let subscripts 1 and 2 denote the free-flight and wind-tunnel conditions, respectively.

A one-fiftieth scale model of the 747 is tested in a wind tunnel where the temperature is 430◦R. In addition to the information given in above, for this airplane the zero-lift angle of attack is −2◦, the lift slope of the airfoil section is 0.1 per degree, the lift efficiency factor τ = 0.04, and the wing aspect ratio is 7.96.

- Explain the mechanism of drag and lift force generation for the wing using Newton's law. Here are the hints : If the wing does not exist, the velocity distribution is uniform at v=U_inf. Therefore, the x-directional velocity of the air is deceralated by the wing. This implies that the wing applied a force in the -x-direction to the air (Newton's second law). In other words, the air flow applied a force in the x-direction to the wing (Newton's third law). This is the mechanism of drag generation.arrow_forwardThe Air Force's new experimental jet, the X - 9001, is a perfectly flat, rectangular wing. It has a cruising speed of 100 m s¹. Determine the thrust force required to maintain that speed [36 N]. Neglect any frontal area or pressure drag. Drag occurs on both the top and bottom of the plate. The plane may be considered to be 1 m long and 1 m wide.arrow_forwardThe drag characteristics of an aircraft must be determined by a test of a model subjected to a wind tunnel operated at an absolute pressure of 1300 KPa. If the prototype will be used in standard air at 385 km/hr, and the corresponding speed of the model does not differ by more than 20% from the speed of the prototype (so that the compressibility effects are ignored), what range of length scales can be used if the Reynolds number remains similar? Assume that the viscosity of the air is not affected by the pressure, and that the air temperature in the wind tunnel is equal to the air temperature to which the prototype will be subjected.arrow_forward
