  1. Subsonic Airplanes Airfoil & Wing Design Jiajie Wen

  2. Abstract • This PowerPoint Presentation looks on Mach number, the definition of subsonic airplanes and the propulsion choices for them. • I will also talk about Prandtl–GlauertTransformation, Thin Airfoil Theory and how to calculate the lift generated by an subsonic airfoil. • Scientists: Gustav Magnus & Rudolf Clausius.

  3. Mach Number Mach number is dimensionless. It varies by the composition of the surrounding medium and also by temperature and pressure. M Vis the velocity of the source relative to the medium is the speed of sound in the medium.

  4. Subsonic Airplanes A subsonic aircraft is an aircraft with a maximum speed less than the speed of sound (Mach1). Popular Propulsion Choices: • Propeller. At low speeds, propellers provide a very fuel efficient propulsion system. Lighter and cheaper. • Turbine. Turbine engine is a type of internal combustion engine. It’s usually heavier and much more expensive. Wing Geometry (Planform) Choices: • Straight wing. A wing planform favored for low subsonic planes. • Swept wing. A wing planform favored for high subsonic planes.

  6. Propulsion

  7. Turbofan • High-bypass turbofan engine • Min. bypass ratio: 2

  8. Turbofan •  Low-bypass turbofan engine • Max. bypass ratio: 2

  9. Turbojet • Zero-bypass

  10. Propeller Aircraft • Compared to a turbojet (which can fly at high altitude for enhanced speed and fuel consumption), a propeller aircraft has a much lower ceiling. • A propeller's performance suffers as the blade speed nears the transonic.

  12. Airfoil & Wing Design

  13. Prandtl–Glauert Transformation • The Prandtl–Glauert transformation allows the comparison of aerodynamical processes occurring at different Mach numbers. • Fortwo-dimensional flow : • is the compressible lift coefficient. • is the incompressible lift coefficient. • is the Mach number.

  14. Thin Airfoil Theory • Thin airfoil theory is a simple theory that relates angle of attack to lift for incompressible, inviscidflows.  • It can be imagined as addressing an airfoil of zero thickness and infinite wingspan. • For symmetrical airfoil,  is the angle of attack in radians, measured relative to the chord line. • For cambered airfoil,  is the angle of attack measured relative to the zero-lift line.

  15. Prandtl–GlauertTransformation+ Thin Airfoil Theory • For three-dimensional flows, it is necessary to compute the and subsequently the pressure. No simple results are possible, except in special cases: • For a flat elliptical wing, the lift coefficient is:

  17. Airfoil Nomenclature Leading edge is the point at the front of the airfoil that has maximum curvature. Camber line is the locus of points midway between the upper and lower surfaces. Chord line is a straight line connecting the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil.

  21. Scientists

  22. Gustav Magnus • Magnus was a notable experimental scientist. • His training was mostly in chemistry but his later research was mostly in physics. • Magnus's laboratory was one of the best equipped in the world during the years when he was professor in Berlin. May 2 1802 – April 4 1870

  23. Magnus effect • The Magnus effect:a spinning object flying in a fluid experiences a force perpendicular to the line of motion. • The effect was described by Magnus. However, Isaac Newton correctly inferred the cause. • The Magnus effect is responsible for the curved motion of a spinning ball.

  24. Applications Rotor Ship in the 1920s

  25. Applications

  26. Rudolf Clausius • He’s a German physicist and mathematician and is considered one of the founders of the science of thermodynamics. • On the mechanical theory of heat, published in 1850, he stated the basic ideas of the second law of thermodynamics. • In 1865 he introduced the concept of entropy. Jan 2 1822 – Aug 24 1888

  27. Entropy • Entropy provides a measure of the amount of the energy that cannot be used to do work. • The entropy of an isolated system always increases or remains constant. Steam Water Ice Decrease in entropy
