A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m, and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged thropah water at 0.440 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at a temperature, T= 15°C, p=999.1 kg/m³ and dynamic viscosity, µ = 1.138 x 10-3 kg/m's. The design team builds a one-fifth scale moder to test in their university's wind tunnel (Figure 10). A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and at one standard atmosphere pressure having p = 1.184 kg/m³ and u = 1.849 x 10-5 kg/m's. Determine the air speed required to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity. %3D %3D Wind tunnel test section Model FD V P P Strut Shield Drag balance Figure 10

Question
b) A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The
overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m, and its student designers hope that it
can travel fully submerged throoh water at 0.440 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at
a temperature, T=15°C, p=999.1 kg/m² and dynamic viscosity, µ = 1.138 x 103 kg/m's.
The design team builds a one-fifth scale moder to test in their university's wind tunnel
(Figure 10). A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the
strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and
at one standard atmosphere pressure having p = 1.184 kg/m³ and µ = 1.849 x 10-$ kg/m's.
Determine the air speed required to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity.
