A1 Lab Chordwise Pressure Distribution on an Aerofoil with a Flap Student Name: REUBEN LEW WAI CHOON Tutor: COLLIN GREATWOOD Date of Lab: 7TH NOVEMBER 2014 Summary A 23015 NACA aerofoil was tested in a wind tunnel with a Re number of 4.28 x 105 and Mach number of 0.07. The pressure distribution over the aerofoil was recorded and used to derive the coefficient of lift, pressure drag and pitching moment. Variations of these parameters with incidence and flap deflection were investigated. Thin…

My first interaction with fluid mechanics came when I was in 1st year. My curiosity about fluid mechanics rose up while performing experiments in the lab with my own hands. In addition, course on hydrodynamics and hydrodynamics lab allowed me to visualize different flow patterns and flow properties and showed me how the flow pattern can be expressed in mathematical equations. I found the opportunity to take the course of Computational Fluid Mechanics & Theory of Hydrofoils because…

Statement of Purpose My grandfather and father were physicians and as a consequence, there was always an influence on me to be the next generation physician. We had a family garage, where my father and I used to repair our old-modelled motorcycle together with various other broken domiciliary machines and passed hours there. I was fascinated and excited by all these equipment and the idea of being an engineer in the future had peeped through my mind several times. But those could never surpass…

The Negative Impact of the Internet on Intelligence During the First World War, the Chicago tribune wrote an article about the world famous industrialist Henry Ford. In the article, Ford was referred to as ignorant amongst other scathing remarks attacking his intelligence. Ford, obviously, didn’t take kindly to this and filed a lawsuit against the paper for libel. The lawyers for the Tribune were so confident, that they put Mr. Ford on the witness stand, and asked him a long series of questions…
