The airflow in large wind tunnels is driven by large fans that exert a thrust force on their support structure. The thrust force, F, on a support structure can be expected to be a function of the density and viscosity of the air, the size of the fan, and the rate at which the fan rotates. Determine a nondimensional functional expression that relates the thrust generated by a fan to the influencing variables. F = f(D, Q, w, p, μ)

Q5/A 400 m² light-colored swimming pool is located in a normal suburban site, where the measured wind speed at 10 m height is 2 m/s. The water temperature is 25 °C, the ambient air temperature is 10 °C, and relative humidity is 60%. There are no swimmers in the pool, the temperature of the make-up water is 20 °C, and the solar irradiation on a horizontal surface for the day is 15 MJ/m2-d. Neglect heat losses due to evaporation and radiation. How much energy must the solar system supply (Qss) to the pool to keep its temperature to 25 °C? Take: a = Solar absorptance (a = 0.85 for light-colored pools; a = 0.90 for dark colored pools).

The thrust F of a Free propeller, either aircraft of marine, depends upon density ρ, the rotation rate n in r/s, the diameter D, and the forward velocity V. Viscous effects are slight and neglected here. Tests of a 25-cm-diameter model aircraft propeller, in a sea-level wind tunnel, yield the following thrust data at a velocity of 20 m/s : Rotation Rate, r/min____4800____6000____8000 Measured thrust, N____6.1____19____47 Use the dimensionless data to predict the thrust, in Newtons, of a similar 1.6-m-diameter prototype propeller when rotating at 3800 r/min and flying at 225 mi/h at 4000-m standard altitude.
