Determine velocity of a fluid -- not enough info given?
Hi folks,
I'm currently in an internship at Cassidian, and my supervisor has asked me to calculate the velocity of a fluid.
I didn't spend too long on the subject, maybe an hour or two, but I wasn't particularly busy that day. I concluded that it's impossible because not enough parameters were supplied.
Parameters available are:
*Total, static and dynamic pressure
*Mach number
*Reynolds number
That's it. No temperature information, no density, kinematic viscosity, mass flow rate or area. To make it worse, this was a closed section test. So I can't even estimate ambient conditions. Also, I wasn't present at the test itself.
It's been a bit quiet, so I've had some time to ponder and research this problem, and I can't find a way to do it.
Is my initial conclusion that this is not possible to solve, correct? Confirmation or an explanation (if it is possible) would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Matthew
