Here is the question:
A flare boom is used to burn toxic gases on oil platforms. The maximum wind expected for the location of the platform during the life of the platform is 150 knots. If the cylindrical boom is 100 ft long and 1 ft in diameter, what will be the wind drag force on the boom during design wind conditions? Density of air is 0.075 lbm/ft^3 and viscosity is 0.1224E-4 lbm/sec ft. How do you do this problem?
