For example, the inclined flat plate shown in Figure 1 will produce lift. The figure shows the streamline pattern over the flat plate.

A balloon has 2 kg of air at room temperatur@/and pressure conditions inside of it. How much enthalpy is inside the balloon? Why would anyone care about enthalpy? Les Question 3 (10 Points): ‘Your textbook suggests that if the freestream Mach number is less than 0.3 the effects of compressibility can be neglected. This is a subjective statement. Develop a similar Mach number criterion for which the effects of compressibility are limited to less than 2%. In other words, calculate the freestream Mach number for which the compressibility of air is less than 2%, How would this criteria change for argon as compared with air?

The flow is supplied by a large, adiabatic reservoir where the pressure is 8 atm and the reservoir temperature is 800 K. The reservoir is large enough that you can assume that these two quantities do not change. If the Mach number at the nozzle exit is 2.0, calculate the following at the exit of the nozzle: . density ._ static temperature . static pressure }. total pressure ..
