1. The Stokes-Oseen formula for drag force Fon a sphere of diameter D in a fluid stream of low velocity
V, density p, and viscosity u is:

16PD?
Is this formula dimensionally homogenous?
2. The efficiency n of a pump is defined as the (dimensionless) ratio of the power required to drive a
pump:
QAp
input power
Where Q is the volume rate of flow and Ap is the pressure rise produced by the pump. Suppose that a
certain pump develops a pressure of Ibf/in? (1ft = 12 in) when its flow rate is 40 L/s (1L =0.001 m). If
the input power is 16hp (1hp = 760 W), what is the efficiency?
1. (a)
The motion of a floating vessel through the surrounding fluid results in
a drag force D which is thought to depend upon the vessel's speed v,
its length I, the density p and dynamic viscosity μ of the fluid and the
acceleration due to gravity g.
Show that:-
D = pv²1² (1)

Compute the Reynolds number for the flow around the airplane's fuselage (answer: Re, = 4.40x 10'). b) Find the speed of the air that should be used to test a model of the fuselage in the wind tunnel to correctly model dynamic conditions (answer: 35.6 m/s). c) The model is tested in the wind tunnel at four speeds that bracket the speed computed above.

- A student needs to measure the drag on a prototype of characteristic length d, moving at velocity U, in air at sea-level conditions. She constructs a model of characteristic length dm such that the ratio d,/dm drag under dynamically similar conditions in sea-level air. The student claims that the drag force on the prototype will be = a factor f. She then measures the model identical to that of the model. Is her claim correct?
