A horizontal 75-mm-diameter galvanized iron pipe, having a roughness of e = 0.2 mm, is used to
transport water at a temperature of 60°C and with a velocity of 3 m/s. Determine the pressure drop
over its 12-m length.

The old 15-in.-diameter concrete drain pipe runs full of water with a flow of 15 ft3/s. Determine the
pressure drop from A to B. The pipe is sloping downward at 4 ft/100 ft. Take f = 0.07.

Air at 60°F is transported by the fan at the rate of 2 ft3/s through the 12-in.-diameter galvanized iron

DRAG O- A SPHERE What is the drag of a 12 mm sphere that drops at a rate of 8 cm/s in oil (µ = 10-1 N ·
s/m2 , S = 0.85)?

Air with a speed of 30 m/s and a density of 1.25 kg/m3 ßows normal to a rectangular sign of dimension
5.5 m by 7.5 m. Find the force of the air on the sign.

During the preliminary design of a submarine, a designer assumes that the drag force will be equal to
the drag on a streamlined body that has a diameter of 1.5 m and a length of 8 m. The design speed is 10
m/s, the submarine will operate in 10 !C water (kinematic viscosity is , = 1#31 × 10!6 m2's), and the sub
will be powered by an electric motor with an efficiency of 90%. Determine the power that will be
consumed by the motor.

The boundary layer for wind blowing over rough terrain can be approximated by the equation u/U = 3y/
1y + 0.0224, where y is in meters. If the free-stream velocity of the wind is 10 m/s, determine the
velocity at y = 0.2 m and at y = 0.4 m from the ground.

If the disturbance thickness of a laminar boundary layer of oil at a distance of 0.75 m from a plate’s front
edge is 10 mm, determine the free-stream velocity of the oil. Take no = 40110-6 2 m2/s
The truck has a drag coefficient of CD = 1.12 when it is traveling with a constant velocity of 80 km/h.
Determine the power needed to drive the truck at this speed if the average front projected area of the
truck is 10.5 m2 . The air is at a temperature of 10°C.

A 5-m-diameter balloon is at an altitude of 2 km. If it is moving with a terminal velocity of 12 km/h,

determine the drag on the balloon.
