A single cell of enclosed area \( 0.45 \) m\( ^2 \) is replaced by one of \( 0.90 \) m\( ^2 \) at the same torque. The shear flow becomes

  • A.Unchanged
  • B.Half its former value
  • C.Twice its former value
  • D.One quarter of its former value

Answer: B

Shear flow varies inversely with the enclosed area, so doubling the area halves the flow. Enlarging the cell is therefore a far more effective way of reducing shear stress than thickening the walls, though it is usually constrained by the aerofoil shape.
