HW 2 061

This document contains 4 problems related to aerodynamics. Problem 1 involves calculating gradient, divergence, and other vector operations. Problem 2 proves that divergence of velocity is the rate of change of volume of a fluid element. Problem 3 uses a control volume around an airfoil to show drag can be calculated using momentum equations. Problem 4 applies continuity and momentum equations to a turbojet engine control volume to calculate thrust generated.

(Assume the coordinate system to be right handed whenever this is essential).
Find:
a) grad g at (4,-1,3)
b) div v at (3,1,5)
c) grad (div w) v
d) div (curl (v + w)

2. Prove that the div V, where V is the velocity vector, is the time rate of change of
the volume of a moving fluid element of a fixed mass per unit volume of that
element.

3. Assume an airfoil is placed inside a wind tunnel as shown below. Draw a control
volume around the airfoil and use the integral form of the momentum equation to
show that the drag of the airfoil is given by

where h is the height of the control volume at station 2.




4. Air enters a turbojet engine at a rate of 50 kg/s and with a velocity of 200 m/s.
Inside the engine, the air is compressed using axial compressor and mixes with
fuel in the combustion chamber (burner). The product of combustion expands
through the turbine which generates the power required by the compressor. The
air then accelerates through the nozzle to generate thrust. If the fuel-to-air mass
ratio is 0.05 and the flow leaves the engine 600 m/s, find the thrust generated by
the engine. Clearly show your control-volume and application of continuity and
momentum equations. Assume fuel enters the engine with negligible kinetic
energy.
