Ex. The force required to tow a 1:30scale model of a motor boat in a lake at a speed of 2m/s is 0.5 N, Assuming that the viscosity resistance due to water and air is negligible in comparison with the wave resistance, calculate the corresponding speed of the prototype for dynamically similar conditions. What would be the force required to propel the prptype at that velocity in the same lake? Ans.: 10.95m/s, 13500N
4. A pump is required to pump fresh water at a flow rate of 5000 m³/hour against a head of 8 mat a speed of 1500 rev/min. It is planned to test a scale model with a head of 2 m at a flowrate of 100 m³/hour under dynamically similar conditions (but neglecting changes in ReynoldsNumber). Determine: a) The speed at which the model must be run.b) The scale that must be used for the model.c) The mechanical power required to drive the model pump is found to be 680W at theoperating point. Calculate the power required to drive the full scale pump.d) After the full scale pump is fitted into the system it is found that the pump head risereally needs to be increased by 30%. At what speed should the full scale pump now berun at to achieve this head rise and what will be the new ideal flow rate and powerconsumption in order to match this operating condition?e) Briefly comment on the main advantages and limitations of testing a scale model toprove the performance of a larger prototype.

2. A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m, and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.440 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at T = 15 °C. The design team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university's wind tunnel, as shown in the Fig. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25 °C and at one standard atmosphere pressure. At what air speed do they need to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity? Take for water at T = 15 °C and atmospheric pressure, p = 999.1 kg/m³ and µ = 1.138 × 10-³ Pa.s. Take for air at T = 25 °C and atmospheric pressure, p = 1.184 kg/m³ and µ = 1.849 × 105 Pa.s.
