Volvo engineers build a 1/2 scale model of the FH to test in a wind tunnel. The temperature of the wind tunnel is also 25°C. The drag force is measured with a drag balance, and the moving belt is used to simulate the moving ground. Determine how fast the engineers should run the wind tunnel to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype.arrow_forward
- A graduate student wants to use van der Waals' equation to express the pressure-volume- temperature relations for a gas. Her project requires a reasonable degree of precision in the p-V-T calculations.

- A student attempts at home to reproduce the experiment by Joule performed in the mid-nineteenth century. In the student's experiment, a weight takes 20 minutes to fall a distance, z, under gravity whilst pulling on a wire that turns a paddle emersed in a fluid inside an uninsulated copper container (see illustration). The temperature of the fluid is monitored by an accurate thermometer emersed in the fluid. A first temperature reading is taken just before the mass begins to fall and a second temperature reading is taken just after the mass has fallen a distance, z and come to rest. Falling mass rotates paddle.
