Chapter 1, Problem 1.3P

Consider an infinitely thin flat plate of chord c at an angle of attack α in a supersonic flow. The pressures on the upper and lower surfaces are different but constant over each surface; that is, p u ( s ) = c 1 and p l ( s ) = c 2 , where c 1 and c 2 are constants and c 2 > c 1 . Ignoring the shear stress, calculate the location of the center of pressure.

Consider a cone at zero angle of attack in a hypersonic flow. (Hypersonic flow is very high-speed flow, generally defined as any flow above a Mach number of 5.) The half-angle of the cone is θc, as shown inthe figure. An approximate expression for the pressure coefficient on the surface of ahypersonic body is given by the newtonian sine-squared law :                                          Cp = 2 sin2 θcNote that Cp, hence, p, is constant along the inclined surface of the cone. Along the base of the body, we assume that p = p∞. Neglecting the effect of friction, obtain an expression for the drag coefficient of the cone, where CD is based on the area of the base Sb.
The tank is filled with air at 20°C and 139 kPa in stationary condition. Air is leaving the tank with flowing in a nozzle under steady-state condition. The flow is under isentropic and subsonic condition. The nozzle exit area is 18,59 cm?. After leaving from the nozzle, air strikes a vertical plate. Define the force [N] required to hold the plate stationary. (Note: Assume Pe=1 atm, kair=1.4, Rair=287 J/kg.K) Pte F Yanıt:
The shock waves on a vehicle in supersonic flight cause a component ofdrag called supersonic wave drag Dw. Define the wave-drag coefficient asCD,w = Dw/q∞S, where S is a suitable reference area for the body. Insupersonic flight, the flow is governed in part by its thermodynamicproperties, given by the specific heats at constant pressure cp and atconstant volume cv. Define the ratio cp/cv ≡ γ . Using Buckingham’spi theorem, show that CD,w = f (M∞, γ ). Neglect the influence of friction.
