(20 points) You are designing an experiment to test a scale model of a private jet in a
wind tunnel. At cruise conditions, this jet flies at a speed of 200ms. The density at the
cruise altitude is 0.4kgm3 and the temperature is 220 K . The temperature of the air in
your wind tunnel set up is fixed at 260 K , but you are working with a variable density
wind tunnel, so you can adjust the air density in the wind tunnel. You can set your
density to any value between 1kgm3 and 10kgm3. If cm is the chord length of the wing
on the model and cp is the chord length of the wing on the real jet, determine the
minimum model scale (minimum cmcp) you can use in this wind tunnel to achieve flow
similarity.
Assume that air viscosity and speed of sound both are proportional to T12.
