Freestream Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Freestream Velocity = Dynamic Viscosity/(Emissivity^2*Freestream Density*Radius of Nose)
V_∞ = μ_viscosity/(ε^2*ρ_∞*r_nose)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Freestream Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Freestream Velocity is the velocity of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body, that is before the body has a chance to deflect, slow down or compress the air.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
Emissivity - Emissivity is the ability of an object to emit infrared energy. Emissivity can have a value from 0 (shiny mirror) to 1.0 (blackbody). Most organic or oxidized surfaces have emissivity close to 0.95.
Freestream Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Freestream Density is the mass per unit volume of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body at a given altitude.
Radius of Nose - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Nose is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter, and in more modern usage, it is also their length.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dynamic Viscosity: 390 Poise --> 39 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Emissivity: 0.95 --> No Conversion Required
Freestream Density: 1.17 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.17 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Nose: 0.49 Meter --> 0.49 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_∞ = μ_viscosity/(ε^2*ρ_∞*r_nose) --> 39/(0.95^2*1.17*0.49)

Evaluating ... ...
