Discuss the below in detail:
Q: Flow straighteners are arrays of narrow ducts placed in wind tunnels to remove swirl and other in-plane secondary velocities. They can be idealized as square boxes constructed by vertical and horizontal plates, as in Fig.the cross section is a by a, and the box length is L. Assuming laminar flat-plate flow and an array of N A? N boxes, derive a formula for
(a) The total drag on the bundle of boxes and
(b) The effective pressure drop across the bundle.
