Problem 29P
Suzy likes to drive with a silly sun ball on her car antenna. The frontal area of the ball isA = 2.08 X 10–3 m2. As gas prices rise, her husband is concerned that she is wasting fuel because of the additional drag on the ball. He runs a quick test in the wind tunnel at his university and measures the drag coefficient to beCD = 0.87 at nearly a11 air speeds. Estimate how many liters of fuel she wastes per year by having this ball on her antenna. Use the following additional information: She drives about 19,000 km per year at an average speed of 16.4 m/s. The overall car efficiency is 0.312, ρfuel = 0.802 kg/L, and the heating value of the fuel is 44,020 kJ/kg. Use standard air properties. Is the amount of wasted fuel significant?
