Question:

A design contest features a submarine that will travel at a steady speed of Vsub = 1 m/s in 15°C water. Th e sub is powered by a water jet. Th is jet is created by drawing water from an inlet of diameter 25 mm, passing this water through a pump and then accelerating the water through a nozzle of diameter 5 mm to a speed of Vjet. Th e hydrodynamic drag force (FD) can be calculated using

where the coefficient of drag is CD = 0.3 and the projected area is Ap = 0.28 m2. Specify an acceptable value of Vjet. See §6.5 for useful knowledge about moving CV’s.
