Ejemplos Mec Fluidoss

This document provides solutions to three examples calculating drag force (FD) and drag coefficient (CD) for different objects in fluid flow. In the first two examples, FD and CD are calculated for a sphere and cylinder respectively. In the third example, calculations are shown for a vertical and horizontal fireplace cylinder. FD and CD are 1180.78 N and 0.33 respectively for the vertical cylinder, and 89.74 N and 1.12 for the horizontal cylinder. Reynolds numbers, projected areas, drag coefficients and drag forces are determined using fluid properties and equations of fluid mechanics.
