We want to predict the drag force on a remote-control airplane as it flies through air
having a density of 1.21 kg/m³ and a viscosity of 1.76x10- Pa-s. The airplane's
fuselage has a diameter of 200 mm and the airplane will fly through air at a speed
of 32 m/s. A model of the airplane's fuselage will be tested in a pressurized wind
tunnel. The diameter of the model is 75 mm and the density and viscosity of the air
in the wind tunnel are 3.00 kg/m³ and 1.82× 10-5 Pa-s, respectively.
a) The diameter of the airplane's fuselage will be used to define the Reynolds
number Re, for the flow around the fuselage. Compute the Reynolds number for
the flow around the airplane's fuselage (answer: Re, = 4.40x 10').
b) Find the speed of the air that should be used to test a model of the fuselage in
the wind tunnel to correctly model dynamic conditions (answer: 35.6 m/s).
c) The model is tested in the wind tunnel at four speeds that bracket the speed
computed above. The measured drag forces on the…
A 1:20 scaled-down model of a hydrofoil is tested in a water channel, at a velocity of 0.179 m/s. At this velocity, a drag force of 2.2 N is measured. Determine the drag force of the original hydrofoil, at a velocity of 0.8 m/s.
A student needs to measure the drag on a prototype of
characteristic length d, moving at velocity U, in air at sea-level
conditions. She constructs a model of characteristic length dm
such that the ratio d,/dm
drag under dynamically similar conditions in sea-level air. The
student claims that the drag force on the prototype will be
= a factor f. She then measures the model
identical to that of the model.
Is her claim correct? Explain, showing your work (no credit for
just guessing).

- A seA A, soA A solid cylinder of diameter d, length and density p, falls due to gravity inside a pipe of diameter D. The clearance between the solid cylinder and the pipe is filled with a Newtonian fluid of density p and u. For this clearance fluid, the terminal velocity of the cylinder is determined to be V, assuming a linear velocity profile. However, if the clearance fluid was changed to a Newtonian fluid of density 2p and viscosity 2u, then for an assumed linear velocity profile, the terminal velocity of the cylinder was determined to be V,. From the results of these experiments, one may write that (A) V = V (C) 2 V= V (B) V=2 V, (D) V= 4 Varrow_forwardQ 3.

- Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase of 1.2 °C.Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean warming is not uniform with depth. Properties of water: 3 = 210 x 10 /C. c= 4186 J/kg - °C, L; = 334 kJ/kg, Le = 2256 kJ/kg Enter you answer below (to the nearest mm): Ah (in mm) = Type your answer.arrow_forwardThe drag force on a submarine, which is moving on the surface, is to be determined by a test on a model which is scaled down to one-twentieth of the prototype.

The density and the kinematic viscosity of the seawater are 1010 kg/m³ and 1.3x10-6 m 2/s, respectively. The speed of the prototype is 2.6 m/s. Assume that F = f(V, L. g. p.), using pi-theorem and similarity principle to: a) Determine the speed at which the model should be moved in the towing tank. b) Determine the kinematic viscosity of the liquid that should be used in the towing tank.arrow_forwardPravinbhaiarrow_forward
