Assignment -1
Submission date: 03 Feb 2020

Short Answer Questions:-

1. Define streamline and airfoil.

2. Categorize the fluid types based on newton’s theory.
3. Define and classify the manometers.
4. Define compressible and incompressible fluid.
5. Why dimensional analysis is required.
6. For Navier’s stokes equation which forces are taken into consideration?
7. Define the similarities required in experimental for model.
8. What is the importance of Aerodynamics?
9. Define Reynolds and Mach number.
10. State Buckingham Pi theorem.

Long Answer Questions:-

1. Draw neat sketch of airfoil and explain its nomenclature.

2. Discuss how do you measure the pressure by using manometers and mechanical gauges?
3. Derive the continuity equation in partial differential form.
4. Derive the momentum equation in partial differential form.
5. Consider a Boeing 747 airliner cruising at a velocity of 550 mi/h at a standard altitude of
38,000ft, where the free stream pressure and temperature are 432.6lb/ft2 and 390OR,
respectively. A one fifth sale model of the 747 is tested in a wind tunnel where the
temperature is 430oR. Calculate the required velocity and pressure of the test airstream in
the wind tunnel such that the lift and drag coefficients measured for the wind tunnel model
are the same as for free flight. Assume both μ and a are proportional to T1/2.
