Two-dimensional, steady, low-speed flow passes over a symmetric
airfoil. Velocity profiles are measured at the upstream (surface 1) and downstream
(surface 3) locations of the rectangular control volume. The velocity profile at
surface 3 is measured as follows:
=\infty (
\Delta )
1
7<=\Delta
=\infty >=\Delta
where, \Delta =0.04
a) Calculate the mass flow rate passing through surface 4 using the continuity
equation.
b) Calculate the drag force on the airfoil using the momentum and continuity
equations. (Note that surface 2(the lower boundary of the control volume) is
a line of symmetry)
