Astudent team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. the overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m, and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.44 m/s. the water is at t = 15c. the design team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university wind tunnel. a shield surrounds the drag balance strut that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. the air is 25c and at one standard atmosphere pressure.

at what air speed do they need to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity?

Air (c-1.006 kj/kg. k, r-0.287 kj/kg. k) enters a nozzle steadily at 280 kpa and 77°c with a velocity of 50 m/s and exits at 85 kpa and 320 m/s. the heat losses from the nozzle to the surrounding medium at 20°c are estimated to be 3.2 kj/kg. determine (a) the exit temperature and (b) the total entropy change for this process. solve this problem using constant specific heats.
