A bullet is to be tested in the laboratory to determine the drag force on it. Dependent parameter the drag force D (Newton) depends on the velocity of the bullet V(m/s), the length of the bullet L(m), sound velocity c(m/s), density of fluid ρ (kg/m3) and dynamic viscosity µ(kg/ms). Solve the problem by making the necessary assumptions and drawing the schematic figure.
I-Determine the nondimensional p parameters using repeating variables
ii-a bullet with a speed of 96,2 m/s in air may be modelled in a water tunnel with a test section velocity of 262 cm/s. Determine the length of the model, if the length of the bullet is 56,2 mm. The air and water temperature is 20 oC degree at 1 atm.
iii- if the drag force on the model is measured to be 2,62 N, then determine the expected drag force on the bullet. Comment on dynamic similarity equivalence?

- Thermal conductivity k is a measure of the ability of a material to conduct heat. For conduction heat transfer in the x-direction through a surface normal to the x-direction, Fourier’s law of heat conduction is expressed as: Q=-kA.dT/dx where ?̇ is the rate of heat transfer and A is the area normal to the direction of heat transfer. Determine the primary dimensions of thermal conductivity (k). Look up a value of k and verify that its SI units are consistent with your result. Write a set of primary SI units for k.arrow_forward**Problem 1.15 Suppose you wanted to describe an unstable particle, that spon- taneously disintegrates with a "lifetime" t. In that case the total probability of finding the particle somewhere should not be constant, but should decrease at (say) an exponential rate: too P(t) = | V(x,1)1²dx = e=1/*. -0- A crude way of achieving this result is as follows. In Equation 1.24 we tacitly assumed that V (the potential energy) is real. That is certainly reasonable, but it leads to the "conservation of probability" enshrined in Equation 1.27. What if we assign to V an imaginary part: V = Vo – ir, where Vo is the true potential energy and r is a positive real constant? (a) Show that (in place of Equation 1.27) we now get dP 21 = --P. dt (b) Solve for P(1), and find the lifetime of the particle in terms of r.arrow_forwardA dimensional analysis is performed on the drag on a boat. When the effects of viscosity can be neglected, the Euler number based on the drag D experienced by the boat is a function of a Froude number. The effects of the dimensions of the boat can be represented by its length I. The drag on a model of the model is measured as 0.35N. If the ratio of / for a full-scale model to the value of/ for the model is 46, calculate the expected drag on the full-scale boat. Your answer should be to the nearest kN. The properties of the water in the model test matches those for the full-scale boat.arrow_forward

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.
