Problem 02.124 - Car moving through air flow An automobile moving through the air causes the air velocity (measured with respect to the car) to decrease and fill a larger flow channel. An automobile has an effective flow channel area of 3.5 m2. The car is traveling at 90 km/h on a day when the barometric pressure is 70 cm of mercury and the temperature is 20C. Behind the car, the air velocity (with respect to the car) is measured to be 82 km/h, and the temperature is 20C. Determine the power required to move this car through the air and the area of the effective flow channel behind the car. Flow channel The power required to move the car through the air is KW. The area of the effective flow channel behind the car is m2
