= 30 m/s
A missile is being tested in a cylindrical wind tunnel. The diameter of the wind
tunnel is 1 m. The measured upstream and downstream pressures are 2 kPa
gage and 0.5 kPa gage respectively. Assume velocity distribution as above. Air
is assumed incompressible with density of 1.15 kg/m3. Assume uniform
pressure and negligible viscous forces at the wall. Determine maximum
velocity at station C and the drag force experience by the missile ?
