The aerodynamic drag of a new sports car is to be predicted at a speed of 60.0 mi/h at an air temperature of 25°C. Automotive engineers build a one-third scale model of the car to test in a wind tunnel. The temperature of the wind tunnel air is also 25°C. The drag force is measured with a drag balance, and the moving belt is used to simulate the moving ground (from the car’s frame of reference). Determine how fast the engineers should run the wind tunnel to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype.
In this lab we will drop a steel ball (Psteel = 8000 kg/m³, rball = 2.18 x10³ m) through the air (Nair = 1.8 x105 Pa.s, Pair = 1.29 kg/m³), and through a viscous soap solution (Nsoap = 9.0 Pa.s [you will measure this number in the lab, but use this number for the prelab], Psoap = 1000 kg/m³). %3D 1 Pa = 1 N/m?. Calculate the terminal speed of the ball falling through the air, assuming that inertial drag is the dominant contributor. (For a sphere CD = and A is the area of the circle of radius r of the ball). Neglecting drag, estimate the time in seconds it takes for the steel ball to reach the terminal speed found in part 2 (i). Neglecting drag, estimate how far the ball would have travelled before reaching its terminal speed and comment on whether it is reasonable to neglect drag when studying the motion of this ball as it falls through the air from rest from the top of a 30 cm tall beaker or even from the ceiling of the room. Neglecting drag it would take 36 m to reach the terminal…

An airplane builder wants to build a scaled-down model of a real airplane in a 12:1 ratio in order to be able to perform tests in a wind tunnel. The real plane flies at 126 km/h, while the air speed in the tunnel where the model is located is given by V. The performances of the two will be equivalent for a value of V, in m/s, equal to Data: air viscosity η = 1.8 × 10-5 kg/(m.s) air density ρ = 1.3 kg/m3
A dimensional analysis is performed on the drag on a boat. When the effects of viscosity can be neglected, the Euler number based on the drag D experienced by the boat is a function of a Froude number. The effects of the dimensions of the boat can be represented by its length I. The drag on a model of the model is measured as 0.35N. If the ratio of / for a full-scale model to the value of/ for the model is 46, calculate the expected drag on the full-scale boat. Your answer should be to the nearest kN. The properties of the water in the model test matches those for the full-scale boat.

2. A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m, and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.440 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at T = 15 °C. The design team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university's wind tunnel, as shown in the Fig. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25 °C and at one standard atmosphere pressure. At what air speed do they need to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity? Take for water at T = 15 °C and atmospheric pressure, p = 999.1 kg/m³ and µ = 1.138 × 10-³ Pa.s. Take for air at T = 25 °C and atmospheric pressure, p = 1.184 kg/m³ and µ = 1.849 × 105 Pa.s.
