A football, meant to be thrown at 60 mi/h in sea-level air( ρ = 1.22 kg/m 3 , μ = 1.78 E-5 N ? s/m 2 ), is to be testedusing a one-quarter scale model in a water tunnel ( ρ =998 kg/m 3 , μ =0.0010 N . s/m 2 ). For dynamic similarity,what is the proper model water velocity?( a ) 7.5 mi/h, ( b ) 15.0 mi/h, ( c ) 15.6 mi/h,( d ) 16.5 mi/h, ( e ) 30 mi/h
The thrust F of a Free propeller, either aircraft of marine, depends upon density ρ, the rotation rate n in r/s, the diameter D, and the forward velocity V. Viscous effects are slight and neglected here. Tests of a 25-cm-diameter model aircraft propeller, in a sea-level wind tunnel, yield the following thrust data at a velocity of 20 m/s :
Rotation Rate, r/min____4800____6000____8000
Measured thrust, N____6.1____19____47
Use the dimensionless data to predict the thrust, in Newtons, of a similar 1.6-m-diameter prototype propeller when rotating at 3800 r/min and flying at 225 mi/h at 4000-m standard altitude.
