If the speed of flow past the lower surface of an airplane wing is 110 m/s, what is the speed of flow over the upper surface with give a pressure difference of 900 Pa between upper and lower surfaces? Density of air 1.21 kg/ m3

Solutions

Expert Solution

the speed of flow past the lower surface of an airplane wing is v = 110 m/s
the speed of flow over the upper surface v' = ?
pressure difference between upper and lower surfaces dP = 900 Pa
the density of air ? = 1.21*10-3 g/cm3.

                              = 1.21* 10-3 *10-3 kg / 10-6 m3

                              = 1.21 kg / m3

from Bernoulli's equation, dP = ( 1/ 2) ? [ v'2- v2]

900 = 0.605 [ v'2-1102]

                                      = 0.605 v'2 - 7320.5

v' = 116.57 m/s

the speed of flow over the upper surface is 116.57 m/s
