Problem 3. A tractor-trailer rig has a frontal area of A = 102 ft² and drag coefficient CD = 0.9. The ratio ofrolling resistance to vehicle weight is CR = FR/W = (6 lbf)/(1000 lbf). The specific fuel consumption(defined as mass of fuel consumed divided by power, or thrust, produced times the time period) for the dieselengine is SFC= mƒ/(P▲t) = 0.34 lbm/(hp hr) and the drivetrain efficiency is na = 92%. The densityof diesel fuel is pf = 6.9 lbm/gal. (a) Estimate the fuel economy, FE, for a rig traveling at a speed ofU = 55 mph with a weight of W = 72,000 lbs. (b) For a fairing system that reduces the aerodynamic drag by15%, estimate the improved fuel economy, FE faired. (c) Calculate the annual fuel savings, FS, for a rig thattravels 120,000 miles per year. (d) Plot FE and FEƒfaired versus speed, U, assuming SFC and nd areconstant.

3.) Automotive engineers work very hard to improve the value of the drag coefficient for cars. Suppose you have a car with a mass of 3000. kg and an effective surface area of 4.00 m^2. The engine can generate a maximum force of 28,000. N. Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be 0.200, and the coefficient of static friction be 0.400. Air has a density of 1.21 kg/m^3. (back on earth) (3a) Draw a free-body diagram for your car, including both drag and friction, when the car is moving at its maximum velocity. (3b) If the maximum value of your car's velocity is 150.0 m/s, then what is the drag coefficient for the car? (3c) Suppose your engineers change the drag coefficient to 0.300 - what would be your maximum velocity then with the same force from your engine.
