Assignments in Amt 3103 Fundamentals of Aerodynamics

The document contains 5 problems about calculating velocities and pressures in venturi flow systems using concepts of incompressible, inviscid flow at standard sea level conditions. The problems involve venturis mounted on aircraft, in wind tunnels, and with reservoirs. Students are instructed to submit solutions to the problems on yellow paper to Google Classroom by January 20, 2020, clearly labeling each page of their submission.

ASSIGNMENTS IN AMT 3103 FUNDAMENTALS OF AERODYNAMICS

PROBLEMS

Note: All the following problems assume an inviscid, incompressible flow. Also, standard sea level
density and pressure are 1.23 kg/m3 (0.002377 slug/ft3) and 1.01 × 105 N/m2 (2116 lb/ft2),
respectively.

1. Consider a venturi with a throat-to-inlet area ratio of 0.8 mounted in a flow at standard sea level
conditions. If the pressure difference between the inlet and the throat is 7 lb/ft2, calculate the
velocity of the flow at the inlet.

2. The flow velocity in the test section of a low-speed subsonic wind tunnel is 100 mph. The test
section is vented to the atmosphere, where atmospheric pressure is 1.01 × 105 N/m2. The air
density in the flow is the standard sea-level value of 1.23 kg/m3. The contraction ratio of the
nozzle is 10-to-1. Calculate the reservoir pressure in atmospheres.

3. Consider a venturi with a throat-to-inlet area ratio of 0.8, mounted on the side of an airplane
fuselage. The airplane is in flight at standard sea level. If the static pressure at the throat is 2100
lb/ft2, calculate the velocity of the airplane.

4. Consider a venturi with a small hole drilled in the side of the throat. This hole is connected via a
tube to a closed reservoir. The purpose of the venturi is to create a vacuum in the reservoir
when the venturi is placed in an airstream. (The vacuum is defined as the pressure difference
below the outside ambient pressure.) The venturi has a throat-to-inlet area ratio of 0.85.
Calculate the maximum vacuum obtainable in the reservoir when the venturi is placed in an
airstream of 90 m/s at standard sea level conditions.

5. Consider a low-speed open-circuit subsonic wind tunnel with an inlet-to-throat area ratio of 12.
The tunnel is turned on, and the pressure difference between the inlet (the settling chamber)
and the test section is read as a height difference of 10 cm on a U-tube mercury manometer.
(The density of liquid mercury is 1.36 × 104 kg/m3.) Calculate the velocity of the air in the test
section.
