Question

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. (a) Use dimensional analysis to find important dimensionless groups use 5,V,L as Core b) Use similarity analysis to find velocity and drag on the small object (prototype). 4.
