A-10A twin-jet close-support airplane is approximately rectangular with a wingspan (the length perpendicular to the flow directi

on) of 17.5 m and a chord (the length parallel to the flow direction) of 3 m. The airplane is flying at standard sea level with a velocity of 200 m/s. If the flow is considered to be completely laminar, calculate the boundary layer thickness at the trailing edge and the total skin friction drag. Assume that the wing is approximated by a flat plate. Assume incompressible flow.

Solution :

Given :

Rectangular wingspan

Length,L = 17.5 m

Chord, c = 3 m

Free stream velocity of flow, $V_{\infty}$ = 200 m/s

Given that the flow is laminar.

$Re_L=\frac{\rho V L}{\mu _{\infty}}$

      $=\frac{1.225 \times 200 \times 3}{1.789 \times 10^{-5}}$

    $= 4.10 \times 10^7$

So boundary layer thickness,

$\delta_{L} = \frac{5.2 L}{\sqrt{Re_L}}$

$\delta_{L} = \frac{5.2 \times 3}{\sqrt{4.1 \times 10^7}}$

    = 0.0024 m

The dynamic pressure, $q_{\infty} =\frac{1}{2} \rho V^2_{\infty}$

                                           $ =\frac{1}{2} \times 1.225  \times 200^2$

                                          $=2.45 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$

The skin friction drag co-efficient is given by

$C_f = \frac{1.328}{\sqrt{Re_L}}$

     $=\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{4.1 \times 10^7}}$

     = 0.00021

$D_{skinfriction} = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2_{\infty}S C_f$

                  $=\frac{1}{2} \times 1.225 \times 200^2 \times 17.5 \times 3 \times 0.00021$

                  = 270 N

Therefore the net drag = 270 x 2

                                      = 540 N

Why is this statement false?
koban [17]

The statement is false because as the temperature of water is decreased from 4C to 0C, <em>expansion</em> occurs.

You should understand that this is very weird behavior for any compound ... within a small temperature range, the stuff actually gets bigger as it gets colder.  That's why cubes float in your sody, and bergs float in the ocean.

Water is one of only two known substances that do this.  And if water didn't do it, then life on Earth would not be possible.  

Hmmm....

You do a demonstration of photosynthesis for your friends with the aquatic plant Elodea outside on a sunny day. You put the plan
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Hydrogen gas/bubbles

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which green plants and other organisms like blue-green algae etc. synthesize organic matter. In the presence of light energy, they convert CO2 and H2O into organic sugar with the release of O2 gas.

The plant was performing photosynthesis since there is the presence of CO2 (baking soda) and water and therefore the bubbles seen is hydrogen gas guven off from photosynthesis .

6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) --> C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g)
