human-powered torpedo is being designed for purpose of this competitions. The next year engineering students modeling is to determine the skin friction drag of the torpedo which is acting on L-4 carea (perimeter times the length). The overall length of the prototype torpedo 4.5 m and the diameter D m. Prototype Specification requires the torpedo to travel fully in freshwater water (a lake) at T 20 C with velocity V-2.50m/s. The one-fourth el is used for testing in their universitys...
(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...
Density p [kg/m2], viscosity - u [kg/ms], surface tension - o (N/m=kg/s2] compressibility K [Pa-kg/ms2] 1. For particles settling in a stationary fluid it is thought that the drag force FD of a small sphere is a function of the settling velocity of the sphere - V, the diameter of the sphere - d, and the density p, and viscosity of the fluid - . Determine the dimensionless relationship(s) between these variables (FD/HVd, pdV/H) 2. (a) The efficiency of a...
