S6. A submarine of diameter H, velocity v, moves through water of density ρ and If Df is the drag force on the submarine, then it is known dynamic viscosity that a law of the following form applies μ. for some function G, and where DF/(pv2H2), WH/μ are dimensionless quantities You are not required to derive this formula. Engineers wish to determine the drag on a full size prototype when it is run at v-10 km hr1. To this end,...
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...
MCE 354 Name A small object (prototype) of dimension 1 mm moves slowly in water. A scale model 100 times larger is tested in glycerin at a velocity of 30 cm/s. The measured drag on the model is 1.3 Newton. Assume the force F on an immersed body in a fluid depends on body length, stream velocity, density and viscosity.

Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics 30. The purpose of a centrifugal pump is to increase the pressure of a liquid in order to move it through a piping system. The pump is driven by a motor, which must provide sufficient power to operate the pump at the desired conditions. You wish to find the pressure developed by a pump operating at a flow rate of 300 gpm with an oil having a specific gravity (SG) of 0.8 and a viscosity of...
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 ρ = 1000 kg/mand its absolute viscosity 1.00 x 10-3 N.s/m2 You are asked to perform dimensional analysis to find the drag force on...
(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...
