namely Mach number distribution, formation of shocks and pressure distribution. Analysis of a normal intake design provides lower than optimal pressure to the combustion chamber. A geometric dimension modification on the intake, i.e. lengthening of the nosecone significantly improves the resultant pressure in the combustion chamber. Flow speed or the Mach number in the combustion chamber is also reduced. Over lengthening the nosecone could require infeasible initial flow speed; very high Mach number

claimed that the realization of a supersonic aircraft would have been doable using the right technology and tools. The fear of breaking the "sound barrier" was finally removed in 1947, when the Captain Yaeger flew the Bell X-1 at a speed slightly above Mach 1 for few seconds, producing the famous and long-awaited sonic boom (caused by an impulsive pressure change created by the sonic waves detaching from the aircraft), music for the scientists attending that historical moment, but current nightmare for
• Extra care has to be taken so that highly skewed and negative volume elements are not generated Unstructured Grid: Unstructured grid can consist of any type of elements ranging from triangle, quadrilateral to tetrahedral, prism, pyramids and hexahedral. Advantages: • The grid density can be controlled in any region without worrying much about the density getting increased in another region • Easy to use with complex geometries. Can be computed within an hour • Don’t have to worry much about skewness
supersonic, and hypersonic. The wind tunnels are classified by the amount of speed they can produce. The subsonic has a speed lower then the speed of sound. The transonic has a speed which is about equal to the speed of sound (Mach 1 760 miles per hour at sea level). . The supersonic (Mach 2.75 to 4.96) has a speed of about five times the speed of sound And the fasts of them all the hypersonic (Mach39.5) which has a speed of more then 30,000 miles per hour. Wind Tunnel Test There are basically two types
The SCRAMJET, simply abbreviated from Supersonic Combustion Ramjet, is the latest evolution of the jet engine family. NASA made the news with each test of the X-43A scramjet craft, so I set about to discover why this type of jet engine should garner so much scientific attention. Turbojet The most basic jet engine is the turbojet. As soon as the air enters the front of the engine, the blades of the compressor, compresses the air before funneling it into the combustion chamber. During the
Ernst Mach Hannah Kobel Ernst Mach, an Austrian physicist, was born on February 18, 1838 in Moravia in the Austrian Empire. He was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church, but interestingly, later in his life, became an atheist. Until the age of 14, Ernst was educated by his parents at home. He then went to a gymnasium, or a high school, in Kromeriz. He was educated there for three years until he went to the University of Vienna in 1855 at the age of 17. At the University, he studied both physics

Finding the Hidden Faces of a Cube In order to find the number of hidden faces when eight cubes are placed on a table, in a row, I counted the total amount of faces (6%8), which added up to 48. I then counted the amount of visible faces (26) and subtracted it off the total amount of faces (48-26). This added up to 22 hidden sides. I then had to investigate the number of hidden faces for other rows of cubes. I started by drawing out the outcomes for the first nine rows of cubes (below):
rehearse, sharpen and develop the children’s skills. Various ways can be used to sharpen these skills including counting in steps of different sizes, practising mental calculations and the rapid recall of number facts; this can be done through playing interactive number games ‘a number one less than a multiple of 5’ etc. Mental calculations are introduced to children in the autumn term of year 1 at a basic level of addition and subtraction. In key stage 2 these mental calculations have
addressing. Note that this only describes IPv4 subnets. Reading binary values Normally, you read binary numbers bytewise (8 bit wise). Start at the last bit, bit 0. If it is 1, add 2^0 to your number, else add 0. Then the next bit, bit 1, If it is 1, add 2^1 (2) to your number, If bit 3 is 1 add 2^2 (4) to your number, if bit 4 is 1 add 2^3 (8) to your number ... if bit 8 is 1 add 2^7 (128) to your number. You see, the base is always 2 because it can be either 0 or 1. Example 1: 10100100 = 2^7+0+2^5+0+0+0+2^2+0+0
quantities, magnitudes, and properties and of logical operations by which unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may be deduced. In the past, mathematics was regarded as the science of quantity, whether of magnitudes, as in geometry, or of numbers, as in arithmetic, or of the generalization of these two fields, as in algebra. Toward the middle of the 19th century, however, mathematics came to be regarded increasingly as the science of relations, or as the science that draws necessary conclusions
record of the counting was kept and, therefore, some representation of numbers occurred can mathematics be said to have started. In Babylonia mathematics developed from 2000 BC. Earlier a place value notation number system had evolved over a lengthy period with a number base of 60. It allowed arbitrarily large numbers and fractions to be represented and so proved to be the foundation of more high powered mathematical development. Number problems such as that of the Pythagorean triples (a,b,c) with a2+b2
substantially high rate. In today’s society we have a high crime rate. Day by day more crimes are committed, and taken year by year the numbers rise hugely. This only shows that the police department’s system is not working the way expected. This system has not been modified to any extent, and therefore the numbers will not change. By the time the 21st Century comes along the numbers will have risen to a point where society will be terrified to leave their homes for fear of being attacked. The on patrol system
last count word indicates the amount of the set” (p. 127). Those who understand this concept—that the last number counted has value—“are said to have the cardinality principle” (Van de Walle, et. al, 2010, p. 127). The concept of cardinality initially perplexed me—I took for granted that counting had meaning. However, putting a name to the concept helped to solidify my understanding of numbers and provided me with a vital piece of vocabulary when discussing mathematics. The same was true for subitizing
The Time has Come for Women's Wrestling Should women be able to compete in the NCAA sport of wrestling? There are countless numbers of men who are against co-ed wrestling stating that women do not posses the athletic ability, strength, or aggression to wrestle with men. The truth is that the only limiting factor keeping women out of the sport are those stated in Title IX and NCAA. Women have struggled for many years to create their own identity in the male dominant sport of wrestling. Wrestling
fearing inner feelings that they hide from the rest of the world, or is it simply the case that society has warped their fragile minds into believing that gays are a threat? Homosexuals are the target of harassment and violent attacks, and the numbers of these attacks is declining, but at a minimal rate. To say that the American people are accepting to gays is, to say at least, an understatement. Americans use terms like "coming out" to separate gays, and make them seem like outsiders. "About

In Wood's article, he states that he lives in Chicago, and AOL has several different access numbers to try if one is busy. He writes that often when he has tried to log on using all of the available numbers, and has still been unsuccessful. This is a problem for him because he is dependent on AOL to "do the daily grind of (his) job as a reporter and PM managing editor." If I was not satisfied with
slower than the rest of the class. Why does the smart kid who has to put forth no effort, and everything just comes natural, get the good grade. I think that teachers are more inclined to give the student who tries so hard a passing grade, when the numbers are the things that should determine the grade. I think that you absolutely have an ethical responsibility to be a role model for others in your daily activities. If you are in a management position for example, how can you expect people to behave
