Sample Calculation ( Reference: Group - 1 and Sl. No. 3)
Total pressure (P0) = 258 mm of water = 0.258 m of water = 0.258 × 9.81 × 1000 Pa = 2530.98 Pa
Static pressure (PS) = 250 mm of water = 0.250 m of water = 0.250 × 9.81 × 1000 Pa = 2452.50 Pa
Density of air (ρ) = 1.1644 Kg/m3
Dynamic viscosity of air (μ) = 1.86 × 10-5 Pa-s
Mass on the balance (M) = 5 gm = 0.005 Kg.
Area of the cylinder facing the fluid (A) = Diameter × Length = 0.0125 × 0.06 = 0.00075 m2.

From Bernoulli's equation,

U∞2 = 2 × (P0 - Ps)/ρ
U∞2 = 2 × (2530.98 - 2452.50)/ 1.1644 = 134.7990
Thus, U∞ = 11.6102 m/s
Reynolds Number (Re) = ρU∞D/μ
Re = (1.1644 × 11.6102 × 0.0125)/(1.86 × 10-5)
Thus, Re = 9085.2936
Drag Force (Fd) = weight (W) = M × g = 0.005 × 9.81 N
Fd = 0.04905 N.
Coefficient of Drag (Cd) = (Fd)/(0.5 × ρ × U∞2 × A) = (Fd)/{(P0 - Ps) × A} = (0.04905)/{(2530.98 - 2
Cd = 0.8333
