Measurements of drag force are made on a model automobile in a towing tank filled with fresh water. The model length scale is 1/8 that of the prototype. Let FD = f(rho, V, L, μ).

a. State the conditions required to ensure dynamic similarity between the model and prototype.
b. Determine the fraction of the prototype speed in air at which the model test should be made in water to ensure dynamically similar conditions.
c. Measurements made at various speeds show that the dimensionless force ratio becomes constant at model test speeds above Vm = 6 m/s. The drag force measured during a test at this speed is FDm = 193 N. Calculate the drag force expected on the prototype vehicle operating at 97 km/hr in air.

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
