The aerodynamic characteristics of a new car are to be predicted through a wind tunnel testing....
The aerodynamic drag of a new sports car is to be predicted at a speed of 75 km/h at an air temperature of 25°C. Automotive engineers build a one-fifth scale model of the car to test in a wind tunnel. It is winter and the wind tunnel is located in an unheated building. The temperature of the wind tunnel air is only 5°C. a) Determine how fast the engineers should run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity between...
Problem 7-C: The aerodynamic drag of a new sports car is to be predicted at a speed of 70.0 mi/h at an air temperature of 25°C. Automotive engineers build a one-fourth scale model of the car to test in a wind tunnel. The temperature of the wind tunnel air is also 25°C. The drag force is measured with a drag balance, and the moving belt is used to simulate the moving ground (from the car's frame of reference) Determine how...
A one-third scale model of a car is to be tested in a wind tunnel. The conditions of the actual car are v = 75 km/h and I = 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 velocity should be The properties of air at 1 atm and 0°C: mass density (p) = 1.292 kg/m3, kinematic viscosity (V) = 1.338x10-5 m2/5 The properties...
b. A very thin wing section is being tested in a low speed wind-tunnel. Assuming that the flow on the surface of the wing produce a laminar boundary layer and the velocity profile is given as follows; Determine the theoretical value of; 8" where Rex is the Reynold number at a distance x from the leading edge of the wing, Rei is the Reynolds number at the trailing edge of the wing and Cr (or Cp) is the average skin...
A bridge is supported by two types of rectangular cross-section piles located in a river as shown in Figure 1. The width of the piles is w - 0.5 m and their lengths are either l 2 m or 12 2.5 m. The river of depth of about 20 m runs at 2 m/s. Water density is p 1000 kg/m and its absolute viscosity 1.00 x 10-3 N.s/m2 You are asked to perform dimensional analysis to find the drag force...
