Measurements of drag force are made on a model automobile in a towing tank filled with fresh water. The model length scale is 1/5 that of the prototype. State the conditions required to ensure dynamic similarity between the model and the prototype. Determine the fraction of the prototype speed in air at which the model test should be made in water to ensure dynamically similar conditions. Measurements made at various speeds show that the dimensionless force ratio becomes constant at model test speeds above 4 m/s. The drag force measured during a test at this speed is 182 N. Calculate the drag force expected on the prototype vehicle operating at 90 km/hr in air.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
