Chapter 1, Problem 1.17P

Consider the Space Shuttle during its atmospheric entry at the end of a mission in space. At the altitude where the Shuttle has slowed to Mach 9, the local heat transfer at a given point on the lower surface of the wing is 0.0 3 MW / m 2 . Calculate the normal temperature gradient in the air at this point on the wall, assuming the gas temperature at the wall is equal to the standard sea-level temperature.

An airplane is flying at a pressure altitude of 15 km with a velocity of 619 m/s. The outside air temperature is 220 K. What is the pressure measured by a Pitot tube mounted on the nose of the airplane?
A spherical container fitted with a stirrer traps air with a volume equal to 5 cubic meters. The initial pressure of the air is 276 kPa and the initial temperature is 250 degrees Celsius. The wall of the container is thick enoughsuch that heat flow can be neglected. If the stirrer transfers 400 kJ of energy to the air, determine the final pressure (kPa) and temperature (degrees Celsius). At the top of your solution, write in bullet form all the assumptions you made in solving the problem.
What is the Mach Number of an air with a velocity of 250 m/s, at a temperature at 2800 meters?
