91Ó°ÊÓ

A horizontal axisymmetric jet of air with 0.5 in. diameter strikes a stationary vertical disk of 8 in. diameter. The jet speed is 225 ft/s at the nozzle exit. A manometer is connected to the center of the disk. Calculate (a) the deflection, \(h,\) if the manometer liquid has \(S G=1.75\) and (b) the force exerted by the jet on the disk.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The deflection h in the manometer and the force F exerted by the jet on the disk can be calculated using the established equations. Specific details and calculations might depend on constant values such as the density of air, the acceleration due to gravity and the density of water.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the pressure at the center of the disc

Firstly, assign the velocity (V) of 225 ft/s, diameter (D) of the jet as 0.5 in, and the specific gravity (SG) of the manometer liquid as 1.75. Using Bernoulli's equation, derive the pressure at the center of the disc by equating it to the pressure in the jet. Given that atmospheric pressure (p0) = 0, the equation becomes, \(P = \frac{1}{2} \times \rho \times V^2\) where \(\rho\) is the density of air.
02

Determine the deflection

The deflection (h) in the manometer, is given by the manometer equation, which states that \(P = \rho_{liq} \times g \times h\), where \(\rho_{liq} = SG \times \rho_{water}\). By rearranging this equation, the deflection can be solved as, \(h = \frac{P}{\rho_{liq} \times g}\)
03

Calculate the force exerted by the jet

The force (F) exerted by a fluid jet on a flat plate is given by \(F = \rho \times q \times V\), where q is the flow rate of the jet, which can be calculated using the area (A) and velocity of the jet, yielding \(q = A \times V\). Substituting this back into the force equation, \(F = \rho \times A \times V^2\).

A fully loaded Boeing \(777-200\) jet transport aircraft weighs 325,000 kg. The pilot brings the 2 engines to full takeoff thrust of \(450 \mathrm{kN}\) cach before releasing the brakes. Neglecting aerodynamic and rolling resistance, estimate the minimum runway length and time needed to reach a takeoff speed of 225 kph. Assume engine thrust remains constant during ground roll.

\( \mathrm{A}\) small round object is tested in a 0.75 -m diameter wind tunnel. The pressure is uniform across sections (D and (2). The upstream pressure is \(30 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) (gage), the downstream pressure is \(15 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) (gage), and the mean air speed is \(12.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). The velocity profile at section (2) is linear; it varies from zero at the tunnel centerline to a maximum at the tunnel wall. Calculate (a) the mass flow rate in the wind tunnel, (b) the maximum velocity at section \((2),\) and \((\mathrm{c})\) the drag of the object and its supporting vane. Neglect viscous resistance at the tunnel wall.

Water flows steadily through a fire hose and nozzle. The hose is \(75 \mathrm{mm}\) inside diameter, and the nozzle tip is \(25 \mathrm{mm}\) ID; water gage pressure in the hose is \(510 \mathrm{kPa}\), and the stream leaving the nozzle is uniform. The exit speed and pressure are \(32 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) and atmospheric, respectively. Find the force transmitted by the coupling between the nozzle and hose. Indicate whether the coupling is in tension or compression.

Airat standard conditions enters a compressor at \(75 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) and leaves at an absolute pressure and temperature of \(200 \mathrm{kPa}\) and \(345 \mathrm{K}\), respectively, and speed \(V=125 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). The flow rate is \(1 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s}\). The cooling water circulating around the compressor casing removes 18 kJ/kg of air. Determine the power required by the compressor.

When a plane liquid jet strikes an inclined flat plate, it splits into two streams of equal speed but unequal thickness. For frictionless flow there can be no tangential force on the plate surface. Use this assumption to develop an expression for \(h_{2} / h\) as a function of plate angle, \(\theta\). Plot your results and comment on the limiting cases, \(\theta=0\) and \(\theta=90\).
