What effect does the altitude of the atmosphere have on its density?
Simply put, the higher the altitude, the lower the density of the air molecules.
What effect if any does high humidity have on aircraft performance?
It decreases performance.
How is it that the altitude decrease and the density of the air does what?
Altitude decreases, pressure increase, temperature decreases (some, but less effect than pressure), density goes up.
Describe the effects of altitude on the aircraft?
The higher an aircraft goes the less dense the air is. What this means is there is less air particles surrounding the plane. This has a positive and negative effect on the aircraft. The positive effect is there is less friction on the aircraft allowing for better fuel economy and speeds. The negative effect is that air flow is needed to create lift. If not enough air flows over the wing then not enough lift is produced to keep the aircraft at that height. They counteract this for high altitude aircraft by increasing the speed of the aircraft. It also has an effect on the engines performance. If you get high enough the air becomes so thin that there isn't enough air to support the operations of the engines. this is why there is a mixture lever on many aircraft to allow you to change the fuel/air ration depending on height/
What is the effect of the packing Density on the performance of the cooling tower?
Packing density affects performance by lowering the heat transfer capacity.
What effect does high density altitude as compared to low density altitude have on propeller efficiency and why?
Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes. Less efficient slow plane
What is the effect of a temperature decrease and a pressure altitude increase on the density altitude from 90 F and 1250 feet pressure altitude to 55 F and 1750 feet pressure altitude?
1,700-foot decrease.
Effect of filter media density on it performance?
The denser the media the less airflow through it.
How design effect paper airplanes?
Design can effect paper airplanes just as it does real aircraft. Paper airplanes can be a huge variety of designs and be specialized, just as real aircraft. This can be for style orfor performance.
Why are Vortex Generators fitted on Tornado Aircraft?
Vortex Generators are fitted on both sides of the base of the Fin, on Tornado Aircraft, to generate a turbulence, so that the Rudder has an effect at altitude, otherwise the Rudder is flying in a vacuum, and has no effect on the stability of the aircraft, causing judder, with possible buckling of the spine to occur.
Can an odometer be used to determine the altitude of mountains?
An odometer is for distance travelled, not height. You need something sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure, a barometer, for measuring altitude. Altimeters as fitted to aircraft are in effect barometers.
What is the effect of low level wind shear on aircraft performance?
tailwind which shifts to a headwind causes an initial increase in airspeed.
