The drag coefficient of a vehicle increases when its windows are rolled down or its sunroof is opened. A sports car has a fronta
l area of 18 ft2 and a drag coefficient of 0.32 when the windows and sunroof are closed. The drag coefficient increases to 0.41 when the sunroof is open. Determine the additional power consumption of the car when the sunroof is opened at (a) 35 mi/h and (b) 70 mi/h. Take the density of air to be 0.075 lbm/ft3 .

Answer:
The answer is "+9.05 kw"
Explanation:
In the given question some information is missing which can be given in the following attachment.
The solution to this question can be defined as follows:
let assume that flow is from 1 to 2 then
Q= 1kw
m=0.1 kg/s
From the steady flow energy equation is:
If the sign of the work performed is positive, it means the work is done on the surrounding so, that the expected direction of the flow is right.
