Textbook Question

Chapter 7, Problem 52P

A model hydrofoil is to be tested at 1:20 scale. The test speed is chosen to duplicate the Froude number corresponding to the 60-knot prototype speed. To model cavitation correctly, the cavitation number also must be duplicated. At what ambient pressure must the test be run? Water in the model test basin can be heated to 130°F, compared to 45°F for the prototype.

A light parachute for military purposes is being designed. Its diameter is 7.3 m, test load, parachute and rig weight is 1023 N. For this weight, the limit descent speed Vt = 6.1 m / s, which is taken as a basis in the design of the parachute. The 1/12 scale model will be tested in the wind tunnel and the temperature and pressure of the tunnel are the same as that of the prototype. (15.5 ºC and standard atmospheric pressure) a) Calculate the resistance coefficient of the prototype. (Hint: At the limit descent speed, the weight is balanced by the aerodynamic resistance.) b) At what speed should the wind tunnel be run to achieve dynamic similarity? c) Calculate the aerodynamic resistance of the model parachute in the wind tunnel. Density of air at 15.5 ºC and standard atmospheric pressure ρ = 1.22 kg / m3 viscosity, µ = 8.16x10-6 kg / m.s will be taken.

A student team is to design a submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m. The prototype submarine is expected to moves through freshwater in the lake at 0.440 m/s. The student team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university's wind tunnel. Calculate the wind tunnel air speed in order to achieve similarity with the prototype submarine. For water at T= 15 °C and atmospheric pressure, the density is p = 999.1 kg/m³ and the dynamic viscosity is µ = 1.138 x 10³ kg/m-s. For air in the wind tunnel at T= 25 °C and atmospheric pressure, the density is p= 1.184 kg/m³ and the dynamic viscosity is µ = 1.849 x 10-$ kg/m's.

CH, CQ and n are functions of CP. Draw the dimensionless performance curves of the turbine on a single graph by makingthe necessary scalings. (Fit the curve by using the excel program for drawing. Also give the values you used for plotting inthe table) ÖN=5
