- 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?

Problem 1 Start with Equation IVb.2.7 (see attached image) and obtain an approximate relation for the thickness of the hydrodynamic boundary layer. Problem 3 Assume a two-dimensional flow over a flat plate. Use the result of Problem 1 for the thickness of the boundary layer and the velocity profile for Vx, as given by Equation IVb.2.1 (see attached image) and obtain a relation for Vy. [Hint: Use the equation for continuity given by Equation IIIa.3.13-1 (see attached image)]. Problem 6 Air at atmospheric pressure and room temperature (27 C) flows over a flat plate at a speed of 2 m/s. The length of the plate is 0.5 m. Find the thickness of the boundary layer at the middle of the plate (x = 25 cm) and at the trailing edge (x = L).arrow_forward
- Current Attempt in Progress In the 1930s, the U.S. Navy operated dirigibles. The largest was the U.S.S. Akron with a length of 785 ft and a maximum diameter of 132 ft. Its maximum speed was 84 mph (123.2 ft/sec). Moving at top speed at 10,000 ft standard atmosphere, estimate the power required in horsepower to overcome the friction drag. Disregard effects of fins and other protrusions. Assume the surface of the dirigible is smooth and the friction drag is that over a flat plate. (Hint: "unwrap" the outer surface of the ship.)
