ME 437 Summer 2012 Analytical solution of project parts (B) and (C)

(B) Design point from drag polar tangent : dCD / dCL = CD / CL CL = ( CD0 / K ) = ..

CD = CD0 + K CL = 2 CD0 = ..

( L / D ) max = ( CL / CD ) max = 1 / ( 4 CD0 K ) Get V* from : W = L = CL V S

2

= .

compare with V* in EXCEL table

(C) For ( TR ) min : Same CL and CD as for the design point above ( and same V* ) Calculate ( TR ) min = D = CD V S = .. compare with Tmin value in EXCEL table . ( TR ) min = W / ( L / D ) max =
2

Then check : For ( PR ) min :

CL = ( 3CD0 / K ) = ..

CD = CD0 + K CL = 4 CD0 = ..
2

Get V from : W = L = CL V S Then check : V = 0.76 V*

2

Find TR = D = CD V S = .. Then ( PR ) min = TR V = compare with Pmin value in EXCEL table .
