PROBLEM 9.

74
Situation: A ship moving through water is described in the problem statement.
Find: Skin friction drag on ship.
Properties: From Table A.5 ν = 1.41 × 10−5 ft2 /s and ρ = 1.94 slugs/ft3 .

ANALYSIS
Reynolds number

ReL = U0 L/ν
= (30)(600)/(1.41 × 10−5 )
= 1.28 × 109

From Fig. 9-14 Cf = 0.00158.

Surface resistance equation.

Fs = Cf As ρU02 /2
= (0.00158)(50, 000)(1.94)(30)2 /2
Fs = 68, 967 lbf

PROBLEM 9.75
Situation: A barge in a river is described in the problem statement.
Find: Shear (drag) force.
Properties: ν = 1.2 × 10−5 ft2 /s and ρ = 1.94 slugs/ft3 .

ANALYSIS
Reynolds number

ReL = V L/ν
= 10 × 208/(1.2 × 10−5 )
= 1.73 × 108

From Fig. 9-14 Cf = 0.00199.

Surface resistance (drag force)

Fs = Cf BLρV02 /2
= (0.00199)(44)(208)(1.94/2)(102 )
Fs = 1, 767 lbf

PROBLEM 9.76
Situation: A supertanker in open seas is described in the problem statement.
Find: (a) Skin friction drag.
(b) Power required.
(c) Boundary layer thickness 300 m from bow.
Properties: From Table A.4 ν = 1.4 × 10−6 m2 /s and ρ = 1026 kg/m3 .

APPROACH
Find Reynolds number, and then calculate the average shear stress coefficient (Cf ).
Next, find the drag force and calculate power as the product of drag force and speed
(P = Fs × V ) . To find boundary layer thickness, apply the correlation for a turbulent
boundary layer.
