Question Paper

Derive a relation connecting flow turning angle, shock angle and free stream Mach number for oblique shock waves.

An incident shock wave with wave angle 35° impinges on a straight wall. If the upstream flow properties are M1 P1 1 atm, T1 300 calculate the reflected shock wave angle with respect to the wall.

2. Explain the procedure to be followed for the design of a supersonic nozzle using method of characteristics.

3. State Biot-Savart law. Determine the expression for the vortex drag for elliptical loading and find the condition for the maximum vortex drag.

Write a short note on laminar flow airfoils.

Explain the swinging of a cricket ball with the help of a neat sketch.

With a neat sketch, explain the concept of Prandtl-Meyer expansion waves. How do flow properties like total pressure and Mach number change across the expansion waves?

Sketch the Shock polar for M 2·0 and explain the method of finding the Mach numbers and Shock angles for a turning angle of 5°.

Explain the terms Bound vortex, Starting vortex and Horse shoe vortex.

Show that for an elliptical wing loading, the induced drag is minimum.

A thin plate of length 2 m and width 1 m is moving in air along its length at a speed of 10 m/s. Calculate the total skin friction drag on the plate assuming sea-level conditions.

Write a short note on Boundary layer separation.

8. Consider a double wedge airfoil having chord C m and half angle 10° kept at an angle of attack of 5° in supersonic stream of Mach number 2.5 as shown in Figure 1. Evaluate lift and drag of this airfoil considering sea-level conditions.
