The drag polar equation of a light aircraft in clean configuration is: Cp=0.020+0.044C₁2. The aircraft has a wing area of 162.7 ft² and a wing loading of 15.2 psf. It is flying at a velocity of 213 feet per second. Assuming steady level flight and SSLC (p=0.002377 slug/ft³), determine the drag force (in lb, nearest hundredths) being generated by the aircraft.

A bird moving in air or a fish moving in water experiences a force opposite to its direction of motion. Do you expect any change in the magnitude of this force? (a) If the fluid is heated and temperature is increased by to T0+10°K. (b) If the fluid is cooled down and its temperature is reduced to T0-10°K. Clearly mention your assumptions (if there is any) and justify your answer for each case.

A light truck weighs 3,300 lb and is rated at 30 miles per gallon for 52 mph highway driving on level ground. Under those conditions, the engine must overcome air resistance, rolling resistance, and other sources of friction. Give your answers in the units shown. (a) The coefficient of drag is 0.55 at 52 mph, and the truck's frontal area is 28 ft. What is the drag force on the truck? (Express your answer using three significant figures.) Fo Ib (b) How much power must the engine produce at 52 mph just to overcome air resistance? (Express your answer using three significant figures.) hp (c) In part (b) how much gasoline would be consumed each hour (neglecting other frictional effects)? (Express your answer using three significant figures.) V = gal

A portion of ship’s hull can be idealized as a flat plate, 100ft long. If the ship’s velocity is 10 ft/s and the properties of the water it is moving through are ρ=62.4lbm/ft³ and µ=3.0lbm/hr.ft, calculate the maximum boundary layer thickness.

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.
An aircraft has the drag polar, C_d=0.015+0.05C_l^2 For a lift coefficient of 0.5, find the value of the drag coefficient and lift drag ratio? I am asking It For Second Time. Please Read the Question Carefully.
How do we use the Buckingham pi theorem to prove that drag coefficient is dimensionless?
