Consider a refrigeration truck traveling at 70 mi/h at a location where the air is at 1 atm and 80°F. The refrigerated compartment of the truck can be considered to be a 9-ft-wide, 8-ft-high, and 20-ft-long rectangular box. Assuming the airflow over the entire outer surface to be turbulent and attached (no flow separation), determine the drag force acting on the top and side surfaces and the power required to overcome this drag.
The passenger compartment of a minivan traveling at 50 mi/h in ambient air at 1 atm and 80°F is modeled as a 4.5-ft-high, 6-ft-wide, and 11-ft-long rectangular box. The airflow over the exterior surfaces is assumed to be turbulent because of the intense vibrations involved. Determine the drag force acting on the top and the two side surfaces of the van and the power required to overcome it.
Air at 250C and 1.0 bar is flowing over a flat plate with a velocity of 8 m/s.
Determine:
(i) The distance from the leading edge where the flow becomes
turbulent
(ii) The thickness of the boundary layer at that location.
