Question: 1 ) During a wind tunnel experiment on the flow over an engine nacelle, the following measurements were taken: - F _ D = 1

1)During a wind tunnel experiment on the flow over an engine nacelle, the following measurements were taken:-F_D =1N- V =48.5 m/s-\rho =1.2 kg/m ^3- T = $19\celsius$- Diameter =50 mmDetermine the Reynolds number and the drag coefficient (This was completed in class).2) If the model in the wind tunnel was a 1/12th scale model, determine the equivalent conditions for a full scale model.3) If a 1/4th scale model is to be tested in a water tunnel at 80 F, determine the velocity of the water if the actual car is to be traveling at 100 ft/s in air at the same temperature.Find an equation which relates your experimental drag measurement to the actual car. Make any necessary assumptions to complete the analysis.
