A volcano has erupted, spewing stones, steam, and ash several thousand meters into the atmosphere. After some time, the particles begin to settle to the ground. Consider a nearly spherical ash particle of diameter 50 µm, falling in air whose temperature is −50°C and whose pressure is 55 kPa. The density of the particle is 1240 kg/m3. Estimate the terminal velocity of this particle at this altitude.

2) a car is placed in a large wind tunnel for a full scale test. The upstream velocity is determined to be 20 m/s. The frontal area of the car is 15 m2. If the force acting on the car in the flow direction is measured to be 1000 N, what is the drag coefficient of this car? Assume the air density = 1.14 kg/m3.

Compare the two values of drag.arrow_forwardThe wing of the Fairchild Republic A-10A twin-jet close-support airplane is approximately rectangular with a wingspan (the length perpendicular to the flow direction) of 17.5 m and a chord (the length parallel to the flow direction) of 3 m. The airplane is flying at standard sea level with a velocity of 200 m/s. Assume the wing is approximated by a flat plate and incompressible flow.

The sheet is subjected to airflow at a velocity of 4 m/s on both top and bottom surfaces normal to the direction of motion of the sheet. The width of the air cooling section is such that a fixed point on the plastic sheet passes through that section in 2 s. Using properties of air at 1 atm and 60°C, determine the drag force the air exerts on the plastic sheet in the direction of airflow.arrow_forwardThere are numerous occasions in which a fairly uniform free-stream flow encounters a long circular cylinder aligned normal to the flow. Examples include air flowing around a car antenna, wind blowing against a flag pole or telephone pole, wind hitting electrical wires, and ocean currents impinging on the submerged round beams that support oil platforms. In all these cases, the flow at the rear of the cylinder is separated and unsteady, and usually turbulent. However, the flow in the front half of the cylinder is much more steady and predictable. In fact, except for a very thin boundary layer near the cylinder surface, the flow field may be approximated by the following steady, two-dimensional velocity components in the xy- or r?-plane:arrow_forward
