The drag force (Fdrag) exerted by air on a moving car depends on a dimensionless drag coefficient (Carag), the specific volume of air (Vair), the velocity of the car (Var), and the frontal area of the car (Afront). (a) Based on unit considerations alone, obtain an equation for the drag force. Be sure to explicitly demonstrate that the final units are correct. (b) Explain, based on your equation, what happens to the drag force when each variable is changed in isolation. Indicate whether this predicted behaviour matches your intuition in each case.
A light parachute for military purposes is being designed. Its diameter is 7.3 m, test load, parachute and rig weight is 1023 N. For this weight, the limit descent speed Vt = 6.1 m / s, which is taken as a basis in the design of the parachute. The 1/12 scale model will be tested in the wind tunnel and the temperature and pressure of the tunnel are the same as that of the prototype. (15.5 ºC and standard atmospheric pressure) a) Calculate the resistance coefficient of the prototype. (Hint: At the limit descent speed, the weight is balanced by the aerodynamic resistance.) b) At what speed should the wind tunnel be run to achieve dynamic similarity? c) Calculate the aerodynamic resistance of the model parachute in the wind tunnel. Density of air at 15.5 ºC and standard atmospheric pressure ρ = 1.22 kg / m3 viscosity, µ = 8.16x10-6 kg / m.s will be taken.
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…

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.
