    PROBLEM 9.

    66
    Situation: Flow over a flat plate —additional details are provided in the problem
    statement.
    Find: Total drag force on plate.

    ANALYSIS
    The drag force (due to shear stress) is
    1
    Fs = Cf ρUo2 BL
    2
    The density and kinematic viscosity of air at 20o C and atmospheric pressure is 1.2
    kg/m3 and 1.5×10−5 N·s/m2 , respectively. The Reynolds number based on the plate
    length is
    15 × 1
    ReL = = 106
    1.5 × 10−5
    The average shear stress coefficient on the “tripped” side of the plate is
    0.074
    Cf = = 0.0047
    (106 )1/5
    The average shear stress coefficient on the “untripped” side is
    0.523 1520
    Cf = 2 − = 0.0028
    6
    ln (0.06 × 10 ) 106

    The total force is

    1
    Fs = × 1.2 × 152 × 1 × 0.5 × (0.0047 + 0.0028)
    2
    Fs = 0.506 N

    PROBLEM 9.67
    Situation: Flow Through two flat plates is described in the problem statement.
    Find: (a) Length where boundary layers merge.
    (b) Shearing force per unit depth.
    Properties: The density and kinematic viscosity of water at these conditions are 1000
    kg/m3 and 10−6 m2 /s.

    APPROACH
    Apply the correlation for boundary layer thickness for a tripped leading edge.

    ANALYSIS
    Boundary layer thickness

    0.37x
    δ = (boundary layer tripped at leading edge)
    Re1/5
    x
    0.37x4/5
    = ¡ ¢1/5
    Uo
    ν

    Setting δ = 0.002 m and x = L gives


    µ ¶1/5
    4/5 0.002 10
    L = = 0.136
    0.37 10−6
    or

    L = 0.0826 m
    Check the Reynolds number

    0.0826 × 10
    Rex =
    10−6
    = 8.26 × 105

    so the equations for the tripped boundary layer (Re x < 107 ) are valid.

    Average shear stress coefficient

    0.074
    Cf = ¡ ¢
    0.0826×10 1/5
    10−6
    = 0.00485

    Surface resistance (drag force).

    804
    Fs 1
    = 2 × ρUo2 Cf L
    B 2
    = 998 × 102 × 0.00485 × 0.0826
    Fs
    B
    = 40.0 N/m
