Chapter 10, Problem 10.10P

A 20 ° half-angle wedge is mounted at 0 ° angle of attack in the test section of a supersonic wind tunnel. When the tunnel is operating, the wave angle from the wedge leading edge is measured to be 41 . 8 ° . What is the exit-to-throat area ratio of the tunnel nozzle?

In a low-speed subsonic wind tunnel with a closed test section, a static pressure tap on the wall of the tunnel test section measures 0.98 atm. The temperature of the air in the test section is 80 ˚F. A Pitot tube is inserted in the middle of the flow in the test section in order to measure the flow velocity. The pressure measured by the Pitot tube is 2,200 psf. Calculate the flow velocity (in KPH) in the test section.
‎Consider a low-speed subsonic wind tunnel designed with a reservoir cross-sectional area of 2 m2 and a test-section cross-sectional area of 0.5 m2. The pressure in the test section is 1 atm.
Consider a low-speed subsonic wind tunnel designed with a reservoir cross-sectional area of 2 m2 and a test-section cross-sectional area of 0.5 m2. The pressure in the test section is 1 atm. Assume constant density equal to standard sea level density, calculate the pressure (in Pa) required in the reservoir necessary to achieve a flow velocity of 40 m/s in the test section.
