What happens to the coefficient of pressure in a supersonic flow for an increase in Mach number?
A)
Increases
B)
Decreases
C)
Remains unaffected
D)
First increases then decreases

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   Decreases

Explanation : For linearized supersonic flow, the coefficient of pressure is inversely proportional to 

Thus, when the Mach number increases, the coefficient of pressure decreases. This in contrast to the trend followed by the subsonic flow where an increasing Mach number results in decreasing coefficient of pressure.

What is the source of wave drag exerted on the supersonic airfoil?
A)
Skin friction
B)
Trailing vortex
C)
Shock waves
D)
Viscous boundary layer

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   Shock waves

Explanation : Wave drag is a result of pressure distribution which is exerted over the airfoil. This is a consequence of formation of shock waves and expansion wave pattern due to the presence of supersonic flow.

What is the lift coefficient over a flat plate at an angle of attack of 3 degrees in a supersonic flow at Mach 4?
A)
0.0512
B)
0.0541
C)
0.0628
D)
0.0714

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   0.0541
