a smooth flat plate of length 5 m and width 2 m is moving with a velocity of 4 m/s in stationary air of density as 1.25 kg/m³ and kinematic viscosity 1.5 x 10-5 m²/s. determine thickness of the boundary layer at the trailing edge of the smooth plate. find the total drag on one side of the plate assuming that the boundary layer is turbulent from the very beginning.
A rotary mixer is constructed from two circular disks as shown. The mixer is rotated at 60 rpm in a large vessel containing a brine solution (SG = 1.1, μbrine=1.07×10-3 Pa-s). Determine the appropriate coefficient of drag using Low Reynolds Drag Coefficient. Neglect the drag on the rods and the motion induced in the liquid. Estimate the minimum torque and power required to drive the mixer.
