In the 1930s, the US. Navy operated dirigibles. The largest was the US.S. Akron with a length of 785 ft and a maximum diameter of 132 ft. Its maximum speed was 84 mph (123.2 ft/sec). Moving at top speed at 10,000 ft standard atmosphere, estimate the power required in horsepower to overcome the friction drag. Disregard effects of fins and other protrusions. Assume the surface of the dirigible is smooth and the friction drag is that over a flat plate. (Hint: "unwrap" the outer surface of the ship.) W = hp %3D

Q1.2
Consider a steel sphere (SG = 7.85) of diameter 2 cm,dropped from rest in the water at 208C. Assume a constant dragcoefficient CD = 0.47. Accounting for the sphere’s hydrodynamicmass, estimate (a) its terminal velocity and (b) thetime to reach 99 percent of terminal velocity. Comparethese to the results when hydrodynamic mass is neglected,Vterminal ≈ 1.95 m/s and t99% ≈ 0.605 s, and discuss.
8. A flat plate ( 1.5 m ) long and ( 1.5 m) wide is towed in water ( p = 1000 kg/m and v=1.31 * 10 “ m / s) in the direction of its length at a speed of ( 20 cm /s). Determine; a) The skin frictional drag force on both sides of the plate. b) The boundary layer thickness at the end of the plate.
A propeller-driven aircraft has an in-flight weight of 4,105 lb (equivalent to a mass of 1,862 kg) and is cruising at a true airspeed of 120 kts. The lift-to-drag ratio of the aircraft is 8.2. If the propeller efficiency, ηp, is 0.8, then how much brake power is required for flight? Work through this problem in both USC and SI units.
A portion of ship’s hull can be idealized as a flat plate, 100ft long. If the ship’s velocity is 10 ft/s and the properties of the water it is moving through are ρ=62.4lbm/ft³ and µ=3.0lbm/hr.ft, calculate the maximum boundary layer thickness.

You are designing an airfoil for a new hobby RC plane. Because of your limited knowledge, you have mistakenly approximated your airfoil as an ellipse with a = 75mm and b = 12mm. Here, “a” is the depth of your wing and “b” is the thickness. Your plane travels through the air at approximately 20mph (8.9m/s). As it does so, skin friction produces a drag-induced heat of 800W on your wind, of length 1m. Properties of Air: k = 0.025 W/mK, Pr = 0.72, v = 1.847 x 10−5, u = 16.84 x 10−6, p = 1.2 kg/m3, B = 1/Tf (ideal gas), TInfinity = 25oC a) What is the Reynold’s number? Hint: “D” is taken to be the thickness for an elliptical crosssection. b) What is the Nusselt number? c) What is the convection coefficient? d) What is the average temperature of your wing? Assume an ellipse perimeter of approximately 200mm.
