Force on a Cylinder in a Wind Tunnel. Air at 101.3 kPa absolute and 25°C is flowing at a velocity of 10 m/s in a wind tunnel. A long cylinder having a diameter of 90 mm is placed in the tunnel and the axis of the cylinder is held perpendicular to the air flow. What is the force on the cylinder per meter length? |
