The drag force on a submarine, which is moving on the surface, is to be determined by a test on a model which is scaled down to one-twentieth of the prototype. The test is to be carried in a towing tank, where the model submarine is moved along a channel of liquid. The density and the kinematic viscosity of the seawater are 1010 kg/m³ and 1.3x10-6 m 2/s, respectively. The speed of the prototype is 2.6 m/s. Assume that F = f(V, L. g. p.), using pi-theorem and similarity principle to: a) Determine the speed at which the model should be moved in the towing tank. b) Determine the kinematic viscosity of the liquid that should be used in the towing tank.
Mott ." cometer, which we can analyze later in Chap. 7. A small ball of diameter D and density p, falls through a tube of test liquid (p. µ). The fall velocity V is calculated by the time to fall a measured distance. The formula for calculating the viscosity of the fluid is discusses a simple falling-ball vis- (Po – p)gD² 18 V This result is limited by the requirement that the Reynolds number (pVD/u) be less than 1.0.

In the field of air pollution control, one often needs to sample the quality of a moving airstream. In such measurements a sampling probe is aligned with the flow as sketched in Fig. A suction pump draws air through the probe at volume flow rate V· as sketched. For accurate sampling, the air speed through the probe should be the same as that of the airstream (isokinetic sampling). However, if the applied suction is too large, as sketched in Fig, the air speed through the probe is greater than that of the airstream (super iso kinetic sampling). For simplicity consider a two-dimensional case in which the sampling probe height is h = 4.58 mm and its width is W = 39.5 mm. The values of the stream function corresponding to the lower and upper dividing streamlines are ?l = 0.093 m2/s and ?u = 0.150 m2/s, respectively. Calculate the volume flow rate through the probe (in units of m3/s) and the average speed of the air sucked through the probe.
