Answer:
The drag coefficient is [tex]D_z = 1.30512[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The density of air is [tex]\rho_a = 1.21 \ kg/m^3[/tex]
The diameter of bottom part is [tex]d = 0.15 \ m[/tex]
The power trend-line equation is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_{\alpha } = 0.9226 * v^{0.5737}[/tex]
let assume that the velocity is 20 m/s
Then
[tex]F_{\alpha } = 0.9226 * 20^{0.5737}[/tex]
[tex]F_{\alpha } = 5.1453 \ N[/tex]
The drag coefficient is mathematically represented as
[tex]D_z = \frac{2 F_{\alpha } }{A \rho v^2 }[/tex]
Where
[tex]F_{\alpha }[/tex] is the drag force
[tex]\rho[/tex] is the density of the fluid
[tex]v[/tex] is the flow velocity
A is the area which mathematically evaluated as
[tex]A = \pi r^2 = \pi \frac{d^2}{4}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]A = 3.142 * \frac{(0.15)^2}{4}[/tex]
[tex]A = 0.0176 \ m^2[/tex]
Then
[tex]D_z = \frac{2 * 5.1453 }{0.0176 * 1.12 * 20^2 }[/tex]
[tex]D_z = 1.30512[/tex]
