Answer correctly. Here is the Translation. "A luxury sports car has an area of 2 m² and there is a drag coefficient of 0.29 at a speed of 90 km/h. Calculate the drag force exerted on the car at this speed"
A NACA 2412 airfoil with a chord of 0.64m is flying in an airstream of standard sea level conditions. The freestream velocity is 70 m/s. Given the lift per unit span is 1,254 N/m. By using the experimental data for NACA 2412 data plot in Figure Q1c, investigatethe angle of attack of the airfoil and the analyze the value of drag per unit spanof the airfoil. Given that at standard sea level, ?=1.789×10-5 kg/m.s.
Solve Parts A-C and label Them QUESTION: Suppose you buy a 3 x 7-ft sheet of plywood and put it on your roof rack. You drive home at 45 mi/h. Part A - If the board is perfectly aligned with the airflow, how thick is the boundary layer at the end of the board? Part B - Estimate the drag on the sheet of plywood if the boundary layer remains laminar? Part C - Estimate the drag on the sheet of plywood if the boundary layer is turbulent (assume the wood is smooth) and compare the result to that of the laminar boundary layer case. HINT - 3 X 7-ft sheet of plywood and put it on your roof rack. You drive home at 45 mi/h.
QUESTION 4 Determine the force due to drag on an automobile traveling at 70 miles per hour. Assume the automobile has a frontal area of 5 m² and a drag coefficient of 0.4. O 256 N O 1266 N 846 N O2131 N
Answer is: V = 14.17 ft/s
Bill gets a job delivering pizzas. The pizza company makes him mount a sign on the roof of his car. The frontal area of the sign is A = 0.612 ft2, and he estimates the drag coefficient to be CD = 0.94 at nearly all air speeds. Estimate how much additional money it costs Bill per year in fuel to drive with the sign on his roof compared to without the sign. Use the following additional information: He drives about 10,000 miles per year at an average speed of 45 mph. The overall car efficiency is 0.332, ? fuel = 50.2 lbm/ft3, and the heating value of the fuel is 1.53 × 107 ft . lbf/lbm. The fuel costs $3.50 per gallon. Use standard air properties. Be careful with unit conversions.
