Problem 1.

Assume that, at a point on the wing of the Concorde supersonic transport, the air temperature is
−10°C and the pressure is 1.7 × 104 N/m2. Calculate the density at this point.

Problem 2.

Calculate the weight of air (in pounds) contained within a room 20 ft long, 15 ft
wide, and 8 ft high. Assume standard atmospheric pressure and temperature of
2116 lb/ft2 and 59°F, respectively.

Problem 3.

Consider a velocity of 60 mph. What is this velocity in ft/sec and m/sec?

Problem 4.

In the four-stroke, reciprocating, internal combustion engine that powers most automobiles as well
as most small general aviation aircraft, combustion of the fuel–air mixture takes place in the
volume between the top of the piston and the top of the cylinder. The gas mixture is ignited when
the piston is essentially at the end of the compression stroke (called top dead center), when the
gas is compressed to a relatively high pressure and is squeezed into the smallest volume that
exists between the top of the piston and the top of the cylinder. Combustion takes place rapidly
before the piston has much time to start down on the power stroke. Hence, the volume of the gas
during combustion stays constant; that is, the combustion process is at constant volume. Consider
the case where the gas density and temperature at the instant combustion begins are 11.3 kg/m3
and 625 K, respectively. At the end of the constant-volume combustion process, the gas
temperature is 4000 K. Calculate the gas pressure at the end of the constant-volume combustion.
Assume that the specific gas constant for the fuel–air mixture is the same as that for pure air.

Problem 5.

At 12 km in the standard atmosphere, the pressure, density, and temperature are 1.93399 × 10 4
N/m2, 3.1194 × 10−1 kg/m3, and 216.66 K, respectively. Using these values, calculate the
standard atmospheric values of pressure, density, and temperature at an altitude of 18 km, and
check with the standard altitude tables.

Problem 6.

Consider an airplane flying at some real altitude. The outside pressure and temperature are
2.65 × 104 N/m2 and 220 K, respectively. What are the pressure and density altitudes?
Problem 7.

During a flight test of a new airplane, the pilot radios to the ground that she is in level flight at a
standard altitude of 35,000 ft. What is the ambient air pressure far ahead of the airplane?
Problem 8.

a. The entries for the standard altitude in Appendix. A and B (Anderson’s) are given at distinct,
regularly spaced values of h. To obtain the values of pressure, temperature, and density at an
altitude between two adjacent entries in the table, linear interpolation can be used as an
approximation. Using the tables, obtain the pressure, density, and temperature at a standard
altitude of 3.035 km.
b. For a standard altitude of 3.035 km, calculate the exact values for pressure, density, and
temperature using the exact equations. Compare these exact values with the approximate
values obtained in question a.

Problem 9.

An F-15 supersonic fighter aircraft is in a rapid climb. At the instant it passes through a standard
altitude of 25,000 ft, its time rate of change of altitude is 500 ft/s, which by definition is the rate-of-
climb. Corresponding to this rate-of-climb at 25,000 ft is a time rate of change of ambient pressure.
Calculate this rate of change of pressure in units of pounds per square foot per second.

Problem 10.

Assume that you are ascending in an elevator at sea level. Your eardrums are very sensitive to
minute changes in pressure. In this case, you are feeling a 1 percent decrease in pressure per
minute. Calculate the upward speed of the elevator in meters per minute.
