DRAG COEFFICIENT TEST

THEORETICAL INFORMATION
In the seeds of the grape plants with delicate sap of different varieties in the
nature, the seedless and unboned plants were placed on an experimental
apparatus, the drag forces were calculated, and the wind movements were
investigated. In this study, spawning of durum wheat (Triticum durum durum),
bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and triticale
(Triticosecale L.) plants was used.

Drift force is used, instead of the wing profile in the apparatus.Drift coefficients
were calculated by placing different types of spikes on the wire. Three samples
were used for each type of plant. The air velocities were measured from the
bottom of the base with the speedometer in Figure 4.6; Experiments were carried
out at different air velocities at 13.5 m / s, 12 m / s, 11 m / s, 10 m / s, 8 m / s and
6 m / s.

The following formula is used to calculate the drift coefficient of the wheat plant
head.The drag force FD is measured and the drift coefficient for the known values
of , A and V is obtained.

F= CD AV2
The following equation is used to calculate the drag force of the system.

FDID = FGIG

Drift force is neglected because the wire is too thin for the drag force of the head.

FG is the weight of the additional mass m placed on the back of the ruler to
balance the body on the scale arm.

FG=mg

It is necessary to compensate with different m masses according to the weights

of the spikes. G is the gravitational acceleration and is taken as 9.81 m / s2.

Muradiye Campus

Calculating; Pressure was measured with a barometer, the pressure of the

material was found to be 762 mmHg = 101592 Pa = 1.0026 atm. Ambient
temperature is measured as 23.4 oC = 296.4 K.

R = 287 J / kg.

Discussion
The pressure of the faculty was found to be 762 mmHg = 101592 Pa = 1.0026
atm. The part is incorrectly measured. The pressure is inversely proportional to
the elevation. As the average increases every 10.5 meters, the pressure
decreases by 1mm.

Muradiye campus area is a small rugged area with an upgrade of 150-300m. I

took it as an average of 210m

Pressure = 210 / 10,5 = 20 If the average drops by 1 mmHg, I got P = 762-20 =

742 mmHg = 98925 Pa.
