Question
During a high Reynolds number
experiment, the total drag force acting on a
spherical body of diameter \{D=\) 7 cm
subjected to airflow at 1 atm and 5°C is
measured to be 5 N. The pressure drag
acting on the body is calculated by
integrating the pressure distribution
(measured by the use of pressure sensors
throughout the surface) to be 2.1 N.
Determine the friction drag coefficient of
the sphere.
For the same values as above, find the
velocity of air during the test. Given that
density and viscosity of air at 50C5oC are
1.269kg/m3 and 1.754×10-5kg/ms.
