The conditions of the actual car are V = 45 km/h and T = 0°C and the air temperature in the wind tunnel is 20°C. In order to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype, the wind tunnel is run at 180 km/h. The properties of air at 1 atm and 0°C: ? = 1.292 kg/m3, ? = 1.338 × 10−5 m2/s. The properties of air at 1 atm and 20°C: ? = 1.204 kg/m3, ? = 1.516 × 10−5 m2/s. If the average drag force on the model is measured to be 70 N, the drag force on the prototype is (a) 66.5 N (b) 70 N (c) 75.1 N (d ) 80.6 N (e) 90 Narrow_forward

You may assume the flow is frictionless. The pipe diameter is larger in section A than section B. The diameters of sections A and C are the same. If gravitation and frictional effects are negligible, which of the following relationships is true about the static pressure in sections A and B?

- Wind tunnel test section km/h Model FD Moving belt Drag balance The aerodynamic drag of a new Volvo FH truck is to be predicted at a speed of 85 km/h at an air temperature of 25°C (p=1.184 kg/m³, u=1.849x10-5kg/m-s). Volvo engineers build a 1/2 scale model of the FH to test in a wind tunnel. The temperature of the wind tunnel is also 25°C. The drag force is measured with a drag balance, and the moving belt is used to simulate the moving ground. Determine how fast the engineers should run the wind tunnel to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype.arrow_forwardA student attempts at home to reproduce the experiment by Joule performed in the mid-nineteenth century. In the student's experiment, a weight takes 20 minutes to fall a distance, z, under gravity whilst pulling on a wire that turns a paddle emersed in a fluid inside an uninsulated copper container (see illustration). The temperature of the fluid is monitored by an accurate thermometer emersed in the fluid. A first temperature reading is taken just before the mass begins to fall and a second temperature reading is taken just after the mass has fallen a distance, z and come to rest. Falling mass rotates paddle.
