A torpedo-like device is tested in a wind tunnel with an air density of 0.0026 slugs/ft 3
Question:
A torpedo-like device is tested in a wind tunnel with an air density of 0.0026 slugs/ft3. The tunnel is 3 ft in diameter, the upstream pressure is 0.24 psig, and the downstream pressure is 0.10 psig. If the mean air velocity is V = 120 ft /s, what are the mass rate of flow and the maximum velocity at the downstream section at C? If the pressure is assumed to be uniform across the sections at A and C, what is the drag of the device and support vanes? Assume viscous resistance at the walls is negligible.
Fantastic news! We've Found the answer you've been seeking!
Step by Step Answer:
To determine the mass rate of flow and the maximum velocity at the downstream section we need to first calculate the air density and the crosssectional area of the tunnel The air density can be calcul...View the full answer

I have been a tutor for the past 5 years. I have experience working with students in a variety of subject areas, including computer science, math, science, English, and history. I have also worked with students of all ages, from elementary school to college. In addition to my tutoring experience, I have a degree in education from a top university. This has given me a strong foundation in child development and learning theories, which I use to inform my tutoring practices.
I am patient and adaptable, and I work to create a positive and supportive learning environment for my students. I believe that all students have the ability to succeed, and it is my job to help them find and develop their strengths. I am confident in my ability to tutor students and help them achieve their academic goals.
