P.B. College of Engineering Department of Aeronautical Engineering Model Examination Ae 8503 - Aerodynamics - Ii Iii Year / V Semester

1. The document contains a model examination for an Aerodynamics course. It includes multiple choice and long answer questions covering topics like speed of sound, compressible flow, shock waves, nozzle flow, airfoil theory, swept wings, and wind tunnel testing techniques. 2. Questions assess fundamental principles for speed of sound, flow characteristics of convergent-divergent nozzles, choking phenomenon in nozzles, and shock polar equations. Longer questions require deriving expressions for compressible flow and solving problems using shock expansion theory. 3. The exam also addresses aerodynamic concepts like transonic area rule, supercritical airfoils, drag divergence Mach number, aerodynamic heating, components of blowdown wind
