Question: [ 5 ] A train is 1 0 0 m long, 2 . 8 m wide and 2 . 7 5 m high. The train

[5] A train is 100 m long, 2.8 m wide and 2.75 m high. The train travels at 180kmhr through air of density 1.2kgm3 and kinematic viscosity 1.510-5m2s. You may assume that the frictional drag of the train is equivalent to the drag of a turbulent boundary layer on one side of a flat plate of length l=100m and breadth b=8.3m. Taking x=0.37(Rx)-15, calculate
(a) the boundary layer thickness at the rear of the train
(b) the frictional drag acting on the train,
(c) the power required to overcome the frictional drag.
