Chapter 1, Problem 1.18P

The purpose of this problem is to give you a feel for the magnitude of Reynolds number appropriate to real airplanes in actual flight.

a. Consider the DC-3 shown in Figure 1.1. The wing root chord length (distancc from the front to the back of the wing where the wing joins the fuselage) is 14.25 ft. Consider the DC-3 flying at 200 miles per hour at sea level. Calculate the Reynolds number for the flow over the wing root chord. (This is an important number, because as we will see later, it governs the skin-friction drag over that portion of the wing.)

b. Consider the F-22 shown in Figure 1.5, and also gracing the cover of this book. The chord length where the wing joins the center body is 21.5 ft. Consider the airplane making a high-speed pass at a velocity of 1320 ft/s at sea level (Mach 1.2). Calculate the Reynolds number at the wing root.

The gears shown in the figure have a diametral pitch of 2 teeth per inch and a 20° pressure angle. The pinion rotates at 1800 rev/min clockwise and transmits 200 hp through the idler pair to gear 5 on shaft c. What forces do gears 3 and 4 transmit to the idler shaft?
