Fundamentals of Aerodynamics
- A perfect gas has a constant pressure specific heat, cp, of 0.846 kJ/(kg K) and a constant volume specific heat, cv, of 0.657 kJ/(kg K). Determine the relative molar mass (molecular weight) of the gas. [RMM=44]arrow_forwardThe gravitational constant g is 9.807 m/s² at sea level, but it decreases as you go up in elevation. A useful equation for this decrease In g is g= a - bz, where z is the elevation above sea level, a = 9.807 m/s², and b=3.32 x 10-61/s². An astronaut "weighs" 80.0 kg at sea level. [Technically this means that his/her mass is 80.0 kg.] Calculate this person's weight in N while floating around in the International Space Station (z=325 km). If the Space Station were to suddenly stop in its orbit, what gravitational acceleration would the astronaut feel Immediately after the satellite stopped moving? The person's weight in N while floating around in the International Space Station Is The astronaut feels a gravitational acceleration of m/s² N.arrow_forwardQuestion 2.8: Compressed air is commonly used to power a large variety of power tools. Lowe's sells an air compressor that can fill an 8-gallon tank to 160 psi. At a temperature of 70°F, determine the mass of the air inside a full 8-gallon tank. Let Patm = 14.7 psi. a) Use the ideal gas law (you will need to do a lot of unit conversions for this). [0.429 kg] b) Find the compressibility factor. How far off is your analysis above?

- The correct statement in relation to first law of thermodynamics i.e. Q=W+AU is, .. [A] Q is negative if heat is absorbed by the system and Q is positive if heat is released by the system [B] AU is negative if internal energy of the system increases and AU is positive if internal energy of the system decreases [C] W is positive if work is done on the system and W is negative if work is done by the system [D] Q is a path function, W is a path function and A U is a state functionarrow_forwardThe gravitational constant g is 9.807 m/s2 at sea level, but it decreases as you go up in elevation. A useful equation for this decrease in g is g = a – bz, where z is the elevation above sea level, a = 9.807 m/s2, and b = 3.32 × 10–6 1/s2. An astronaut “weighs” 80.0 kg at sea level. [Technically this means that his/her mass is 80.0 kg.] Calculate this person’s weight in N while floating around in the International Space Station (z = 354 km). If the Space Station were to suddenly stop in its orbit, what gravitational acceleration would the astronaut feel immediately after the satellite stopped moving? In light of your answer, explain why astronauts on the Space Station feel “weightless.”arrow_forward1. What is a fluid? kg [6 marks] 2.

The equation below is a simplified form of the continuity equation. dm dt CV Σmin -Σmout The derivative term with respect to time is which of the following: a. The rate of change of the mass within a given control volume b. Always zero by definition c. Zero for transient time dependant flow conditions d. Zero when the mass flow rate coming into the control volume is smaller than the mass flow rate exiting the control volume e. Zero when the mass flow rate entering the control volume is greater than the mass flow rate leaving the…arrow_forward
- A commonly used unit in everyday language to state weight is the pound (lb). There are actually several formal definitions of pound. One classification system defines a pound-mass (analogous to kg in SI units) and a pound-force (lbf) (analogous to a Newton); this is formally called English Engineering units but also commonly used in US Customary System units. The “pound” in the “pounds per square inch” of psi refers to pound-force. Hence, psi has units of force per area. Note that 1 lbf is defined as the gravitational force generated by 1 lb (mass) by multiplying it by the standard gravitational acceleration at the earth’s surface. Starting with just the two everyday conversion approximations every Canadian should know (1.00 kg ≈ 2.20 lb (mass) and 1.00 inch ≈ 2.54 cm), derive an approximation of 1.00 psi in Pa through unit conversions only (show each step).arrow_forwardplease show solution step by step with units.
