NACA 664-221 Chord c = 150 cm 1) What is the CL range to achieve the minimum coefficient of drag? 2) What is the thickness ratio of the airfoil?
You are designing an airfoil for a new hobby RC plane. Because of your limited knowledge, you have mistakenly approximated your airfoil as an ellipse with a = 75mm and b = 12mm. Here, “a” is the depth of your wing and “b” is the thickness. Your plane travels through the air at approximately 20mph (8.9m/s). As it does so, skin friction produces a drag-induced heat of 800W on your wind, of length 1m.
Properties of Air: k = 0.025 W/mK, Pr = 0.72, v = 1.847 x 10−5, u = 16.84 x 10−6, p = 1.2 kg/m3, B = 1/Tf (ideal gas), TInfinity = 25oC
a) What is the Reynold’s number? Hint: “D” is taken to be the thickness for an elliptical crosssection.
b) What is the Nusselt number?
c) What is the convection coefficient?
d) What is the average temperature of your wing? Assume an ellipse perimeter of approximately 200mm.
