AERO40001 Tutorial Sheet 1

Use the data and formulae from the general handout sheet for any material properties and
constants required.

1. Mark the following true or false


Fi Drag on an aircraft is equal to the summation of the skin friction over its surface
T ii Internal stresses in a fluid depends on the rate of deformation, not on total
deformation
F iii The principle of conservation of energy does not apply to fluid flows
TF iv The principle of conservation of energy is not needed to describe constant
temperature flows in air.
F v Viscous stresses act only in a stationary fluid
F vi Pressure acts only in a stationary fluid
T vii Pressure is the same at point in all directions but viscous stresses are not
T viii “Inviscid” flow is flow with zero or neglible viscosity

2. The velocity components of a fluid flow are u=3ms-1; v=4ms-1; w=12ms-1. Show that
the resultant speed is 13ms-1. An observer now moves in the x-direction at a speed of
5ms-1 thereby changing the fame of reference of the flow. What is the resultant velocity
of the flow in the frame of reference of the observer? (Ans -2, 4, 12)

3. The speed of an aircraft is 450 Knots. Express this in (i) km/hr (ii) miles/hr (iii) m/s(iv)
ft/s (Ans 834, 518, 232, 760)

4. Show that the atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1.013 x 105 Nm-2, is equal to the
pressure difference between the top and bottom of a water column of height 10.33m.
Consider the density of water as 1000 kg/m3 and g = 9.81m/s2.

5. As shown in figure 1 a U-tube manometer has two straight sides each of length 75cm
and is filled with alcohol of density 800 kg/m3 to the half-way mark on the scale. If it is
to be used to measure the pressure rise produced by a centrifugal blower (claimed by
the manufacturer to create a pressure equal to 15.3cm of water) what is the smallest
angle to the horizontal at which the manometer may be inclined without spilling liquid
while in use? (Ans 14.77°)

6. The pressure at a specific point on the upper surface of an aerofoil is found in a wind
tunnel test to be equal to 25cm of water below the value of the atmospheric pressure of
1 bar. What is the pressure in: (i) Pa (N/m2) (ii) MPa (N/mm2) (iii) PSI (lb/sq in) (Ans
