Evaluate required scale factor if ratio of weight of the rubber engine and the actual selected engine is 0.8.(a) 0.8164(b) 0.012(c) 6.2(d) 1This question was addressed to me in an interview.Question is taken from Propulsion topic in section Propulsion and Fuel System Integration of Aircraft Design |
Answer» RIGHT OPTION is (a) 0.8164 Best EXPLANATION: Given, ratio of rubber ENGINE weight (w) and actual engine weight (W) = 0.8 Now, weight of the rubber engine is given by, w = W * SF^1.1 Hence, SF^1.1 = w/W = 0.8 1.1*LN (SF) = ln0.8 = -0.223 Hence, ln (SF) = -0.223/1.1 = -0.2028 Hence, SF = e^-0.2028 = 0.8164. |
