1. An airplane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 7.5 km (where the temperature is
239K) and at a cruising speed of 2340 Km/hr, find the distance that the plane has
traveled from the head position of an observer at the ground when he hear the sound
of the plane Calculate also the time elapsed since the plane pass over the observer to
the instant of hearing the plane sound. Also determine the Mach cone angle if it
possible.
2. A supersonic aircraft is flying at an altitude of 3000m. An observer on the ground
hears the noise generated by the aircraft which was at a distance of 2000m away
horizontally, after 13s. Determine the Mach number, velocity of the aircraft, and air
temperature at this altitude. Also determine the Mach cone angle if it possible.
3. an airplane files at an altitude of I0000m where T=223 K and P=0.264 bar with a
velocity of 800 km/hr
The maximum possible temperature on the airplane skin.
The maximum possible pressure on the airplane body.
Critical and maximum. Velocities of air-relative to airplane
4. Prove that the speed of sound in a perfect gas is given by : C = (kRT)0.5 then
determine the speed of sound for the following cases : air at 20 °C b- Hydrogen at
20 °C, y= 1.41.
5. a ir at 15 c and 1.013 bar flowing at velocity of 100 m/s. Determine the stagnation
pressure: a-Neglecting the compressibility, b- Taking the compressibility into
consideration.
6. A stream of air flowing in a duct has P= 1.4 bar, m· =0.25 kg/s and M=0.6 at a
section where the flow area 1s 6.5 cm2 · Calculate the stagnation temperature of the
air.
7. at given point in the high-speed flow over an airplane wing, the local Mach number,
pressure , temperature arc 0.7, 0.9 atm, and 250 K, respectively. Calculate the values
of P0, T0
