(40 pts) The drag force exerted on an automobile running at a constant speed of 30 m/s is to be determined by running flow tests on a 1/6 scale model in a water tunnel. The drag force is known to be a function of the characteristic length, L, describing the vehicle frontal section, the vehicle speed relative to the fluid, V, and the fluid density and viscosity. Dimensional analysis has shown the following dimensionless relationship: Cp = º(Re), where FD...

Q3. Drag measurements were taken for a 5 cm diameter sphere in water at 20°C to predict the drag force of a 1 m diameter balloon rising in air with standard temperature and pressure. Given kinematic viscosity of water (v) = 10 X 106 m²/s and kinematic viscosity of air (v) = 1.46 X 10-5 m2/s. 1. Perform the Buckingham Pi theorem to generate a relationship for Fo as a function of the independent variables. Assume the drag Fo is...
The drag force Fp on a smooth sphere falling in water depends on the sphere speed V, the sphere density P. the density p and dynamic viscosity of water, the sphere diameter Dand the gravitational acceleration g. Using dimensional analysis with p. V and D as repeating variables, determine suitable dimensionless groups to obtain a reneral relationship between the drag force and the other variables. If the same sphere were to fall through air, determine the ratio of the drag...
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...
A model of a submarine is built to determine the drag force acting on its prototype. The length scale is 1/100, and the test is run in water at 20° C, with a speed of 8 m/s. Part A If the drag on the model is 25 N, determine the drag on the prototype if it runs in water at the same speed and temperature. This requires that the drag coefficient CD = 2FD/pV2L2 bethe same for both the model and the...
