Q1: The drag on a 2m-diameter satellite dish due to an 80 km/hr wind is to be determined
through a water tunnel test using a geometrically similar 0.25m-diameter model dish.
(a) At what water speed should the model test be run?
(b) With all similarity conditions satisfied, the measured drag on the model was determined to be
200 N. What is the predicted drag on the prototype dish?
(c) What is the Mach number, Ma = u/a where a is the speed of sound, for the prototype air flow
and the one in the water tunnel?
PS: The kinematic viscosity of air is 1.56 x10-5 m²/s.-The kinematic viscosity of water is 1.0 x10-
6 m²/s. The speed of sound is 340 m/s in air and 1500 m/s in water.
A one-tenth-scale model of a supersonic wing tested at 700 m/sin air at 20 ° C and 1 atm shows a pitching moment of 0.25kN ? m. If Reynolds number effects are negligible, what willthe pitching moment of the prototype wing be if it is flying atthe same Mach number at 8-km standard altitude?
(b) A wind-tunnel experiment is performed on a small 1:5 linear-scale model of a car, in order
to assess the drag force F on a new full-size car design. A dimensionless "drag coefficient"
Ca is defined by
C, =-
pu'A
where A is the maximum cross-sectional area of the car in the flow. With the model car, a
force of 3 N was recorded at a flow velocity u of 6 m s. Assuming that flow conditions
are comparable (i.e., at the same Reynolds number), calculate the expected drag force for
the full-sized car when the flow velocity past it is 31 m s (equivalent to 70 miles per
hour). [The density of air p= 1.2 kg m.]

- In the field of air pollution control, one often needs to sample the quality of a moving airstream. In such measurements a sampling probe is aligned with the flow as sketched in Fig. A suction pump draws air through the probe at volume flow rate V· as sketched. For accurate sampling, the air speed through the probe should be the same as that of the airstream (isokinetic sampling). However, if the applied suction is too large, as sketched in Fig, the air speed through the probe is greater than that of the airstream (super iso kinetic sampling). For simplicity consider a two-dimensional case in which the sampling probe height is h = 4.58 mm and its width is W = 39.5 mm. The values of the stream function corresponding to the lower and upper dividing streamlines are ?l = 0.093 m2/s and ?u = 0.150 m2/s, respectively. Calculate the volume flow rate through the probe (in units of m3/s) and the average speed of the air sucked through the probe.arrow_forwardA one-fiftieth-scale model of a military airplane is tested at1020 m/s in a wind tunnel at sea-level conditions.
