Example: Solar Car • Solar cars need to be as efficient as possible. They also need a large surface area for the (smooth) solar array. Estimate the power required to counteract the viscous drag on the solar panel at 40 mph • Dimensions: L: 5.9 m W: 2 m H: 1 m • Max. speed: 40 mph on solar power alone • Solar Array: 1200 W peak Vair = 14.6 x10-6 m²/s Pair = 1.22 kg/m³ DREXEL 76 POLIT
