H =5 ft and length L =4 m. An aerofoil with 21% thickness to chord ratio
and a chord length of 0.52 m is mounted vertically in the test section and
spans the entire height. If the measured lift and drag coefficients are C; =
0.325 and Ca =0.0071, what is the lift coefficient after correcting for solid
blockage, wake blockage and streamline curvature?
Give your answer to 3 decimal places.
3) An advertising sign mounted on the roof of a car is 33 inches tall, 15 inches wide and 54 inches long
(airflow direction). The underside of the sign is flush with the top surface of the roof. Take air properties to
be: p = 0.075 lbm/ft' and u= 1.22x10 lbm/ft.sec. Used a pressure drag coefficient of 1.2 for the
advertisement sign. Calculate the total drag on the sign and the power required to overcome its effect if the
car is travelling at a constant speed of a) 12 mph and b) 45 mph.
Note: Provide a schematic diagram (sketch) of the problem configuration (if applicable). Every numerical
calculation must be preceded by the appropriate equation. Do not forget units & dimensions during
your calculations.
