Example 1
A drag coefficient of a car at pressure of 0.1 MPa,
temperature of 80 °C, and speed of 50 km/h is to be
determined experimentally. If the frontal area of the car is
2 m?, and the force acting on the car by the ideal gas (air)
is equals to 200 N, determine the drag coefficient of the
car. (assume R=0.287 kPa.m³/kg.K)
