The local Mach number at a point on the airfoil reaches 1 for critical Mach number.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.I would like to ask this question from Critical Mach Number in division Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics |
Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (a) True Best explanation: For a freestream Mach number, the local Mach number at the AIRFOIL varies based on the pressure distribution. At the upper surface, there is a point with MINIMUM pressure where the local Mach number is maximum. Thus for CRITICAL Mach number, this local Mach number at the upper surface of the airfoil is unity. |
