Let's say you want to predict the aerodynamic drag of a new car based on the use of a model that is one- fifth scale of the actual car/prototype car. We want to predict the drag of the car when it has wind velocity 75 miles/hour with an air temperature of 40°C. The model is placed in a wind tunnel at 10°C. Determine the wind tunnel velocity necessary to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype.

This exercise is part of a series of problems aimed at modeling a situation by progressively refining our model to take into account more and more parameters. This progressive approach is very close to what professional scientists do! context We want to lower a suspended load in a controlled way so that it hits the ground with a speed whose modulus is not too great. To slow down the descent, a spring has been added behind the mass (A), The suspended load (B) is connected by a rope passing through a pulley to this mass (A), which slides on a horizontal surface with friction. Information The masses of the charges A and B are known.The mass of the rope itself is negligible (very small compared to the loads).The pulley has negligible mass and can rotate without friction.The charge B is initially stationary and is at a known height h.The surface on which mass A sits is tilted upwards at a known angle theta from the horizontal.There is friction under mass A: the kinetic friction…

When tested in water at 20 ° C fl owing at 2 m/s, an 8 - cmdiametersphere has a measured drag of 5 N. What will bethe velocity and drag force on a 1.5-m-diameter weatherballoon moored in sea-level standard air under dynamicallysimilar conditions?
A prototype ship is 50 m long and designed for cruising speed of 10 m/s. The drag is to be simulated by a 1-m-long model that will be towed in a towing tank. Using Froude scaling, determine the tow speed and the ratio of the model to prototype drag and power.

Some engineers want a good estimate of drag and boundary-layerthickness at the trailing edge of a miniature wing. The chord and span ofthe wing are 6 mm and 30 mm, respectively and a typical flight speed is5 m/s in air (kinematic viscosity = 15 × 10−6 m2/s; density = 1.2kg/m3). An engineer may decide to make a superseding model withchord and span of 150 mm and 750 mm, respectively. Measurements onthe model in a water channel flowing at 0.5 m/s (kinematic viscosity = 1× 10−6 m2/s, density = 1000 kg/m3) give a drag of 0.19 N and aboundary-layer thickness of 3 mm. Estimate the corresponding values forthe prototype
In making a dimensional analysis, what rules do you followfor choosing your scaling variables?
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.
How do we use the Buckingham pi theorem to prove that drag coefficient is dimensionless?
Please please correct answer
Air flows across a thin airfoil at a velocity of 90 m/s. For the same Reynolds number based on the actual chord length, L = 1.40 m, what velocity of water is required for a 1/2 scale model test? Assume a temperature of 15°C for both fluids. air U = 90 m/s L = 1.40 m
