Chapter 9, Problem 9.16P

Consider a circular cylinder (oriented with its axis perpendicular to the flow) and a symmetric diamond-wedge airfoil with a half-angle of 5 ° at zero angle of attack; both bodies are in the same Mach 5 freestrearn. The thickness of the airfoil and the diameter of the cylinder are the same. The drag coefficient (based on projected frontal area) of the cylinder is 4/3. Calculate the ratio of the cylinder drag to the diamond airfoil drag. What does this say about the aerodynamic performance of a blunt body compared to a sharp-nosed slender body in supersonic flow?

A shaft is loaded in bending and torsion such that Ma = 70 N·m, T₁ = 45 N · m, M = 55 N. m, and T = 35 N m. For the shaft, S₁ = 700 MPa and S = 560 MPa, and a fully corrected endurance limit of S₂ = 210 MPa is assumed. Let K = 2.2 and K = 1.8. With a Se design factor of 2.0 determine the minimum acceptable diameter of the shaft using the a) DE- Goodman b) DE-Morrow c) DE-Gerber d) DE-SWT
