Consider a high-speed subsonic wind tunnel. The conditions in the large-diameter section upstream of the test section are V = 228 mph and T = 540°R. At the test section, the temperature is 473°R and the pressure is 2 atm. (a) If a wind tunnel model, placed in the test section, has a wing chord of 12 in., what is the test Reynolds number based on that chord? (b) What is the overall smooth flat-plate skin friction coefficient of the model wing if the boundary later is turbulent? (c) Determine the boundary layer thickness at the trailing edge of the model wing. (d) Calculate the skin friction drag in pounds for a model with a span of 3 ft.

Consider the air over a city (60x25 km). Wind with 18 km/hr speed brings the fresh air into the city from the west side of the region (25 km wide). Assume the 15 kg/s carbon monoxide (CO) is emitted from different sources in the city to the air. Assume, also, that the CO is conservative and uniformly spread all over the area up to an altitude of one kilometer. Modeling the air over the city as steady-state system, find the...
