91Ó°ÊÓ

Oil flows steadily in a thin layer down an inclined plane. The velocity profile is \\[ u=\frac{\rho g \sin \theta}{\mu}\left[h y-\frac{y^{2}}{2}\right] \\] Express the mass flow rate per unit width in terms of \(\rho, \mu, g\) \(\theta,\) and \(h\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The mass flow rate per unit width of the oil is given by \(\frac{\rho^2 g h^3 \sin \theta}{3\mu}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify Relevant Variables

Firstly, all the relevant variables are identified from the velocity profile. These are: fluid density (\(\rho\)), acceleration due to gravity (\(g\)), angle of inclination (\(\theta\)), dynamic viscosity (\(\mu\)), flow thickness (\(h\)), and vertical height (\(y\)).
02

Define Mass Flow Rate

The mass flow rate (\(m\)) per unit width is given by multiplying the velocity profile by the density of the fluid, and then integrating over the thickness (\(h\)) of the fluid layer. So, \(m = \int_0^h \rho u\, dy\).
03

Substitute the Velocity Profile

Substitute the given velocity profile into the formula: \(m = \int_0^h \rho \left[\frac{\rho g \sin \theta}{\mu}\left(h y - \frac{y^{2}}{2}\right)\right] dy\). Simplifying, \(m = \frac{\rho^2 g \sin \theta}{\mu} \int_0^h \left(h y - \frac{y^{2}}{2}\right) dy\).
04

Compute the Integral

Using the power rule for integration, evalute the integral (\(\int_0^h (h y - \frac{1}{2} y^2) dy\)). This results in: \(\Big[\frac{h}{2}y^2 - \frac{1}{6}y^3\Big]_0^h\). The result of the integral from 0 to \(h\) is: \(\frac{h^3}{2} - \frac{h^3}{6}\). And simplifying the fraction we got: \(\frac{h^3}{3}\).
05

Substitute Back

Substitute this value back into the flow rate formula to obtain the final solution: \(m = \frac{\rho^2 g \sin \theta}{\mu} . \frac{h^3}{3} = \frac{\rho^2 g h^3 \sin \theta}{3\mu}\).

A stream of incompressible liquid moving at low speed leaves a nozzle pointed directly downward. Assume the speed at any cross section is uniform and neglect viscous effects. The speed and area of the jet at the nozzle exit are \(V_{0}\) and \(A_{0},\) respectively. Apply conservation of mass and the momentum equation to a differential control volume of length \(d z\) in the flow direction. Derive expressions for the variations of jet speed and area as functions of z. Evaluate the distance at which the jet area is half its original value. (Take the origin of coordinates at the nozzle exit.)

In steady-state flow, downstream the density is \(1 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\) the velocity is \(1000 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{sec},\) and the area is \(0.1 \mathrm{m}^{2}\). Upstream, the velocity is \(1500 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{sec},\) and the area is \(0.25 \mathrm{m}^{2}\). What is the density upstream?

The velocity distribution for laminar flow in a long circular tube of radius \(R\) is given by the one-dimensional expression, \\[ \vec{V}=u \hat{i}=u_{\max }\left[1-\left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^{2}\right] \\] For this profile obtain expressions for the volume flow rate and the momentum flux through a section normal to the pipe axis.

\( \mathrm{A}\) small solid-fuel rocket motor is fired on a test stand. The combustion chamber is circular, with \(100 \mathrm{mm}\) diameter. Fuel, of density \(1660 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3},\) burns uniformly at the rate of \(12.7 \mathrm{mm} / \mathrm{s}\). Measurements show that the exhaust gases leave the rocket at ambient pressure, at a speed of \(2750 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). The absolute pressure and temperature in the combustion chamber are \(7.0 \mathrm{MPa}\) and \(3610 \mathrm{K},\) respectively. Treat the combustion products as an ideal gas with molecular mass of 25.8 . Evaluate the rate of change of mass and of linear momentum within the rocket motor. Express the rate of change of linear momentum within the motor as a percentage of the motor thrust.

A small rocket motor is used to power a "jet pack" device to lift a single astronaut above the Moon's surface. The rocket motor produces a uniform exhaust jet with constant specd, \(V_{e}=3000 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s},\) and the thrust is varied by changing the jet size. The total initial mass of the astronaut and the jet pack is \(M_{0}=200 \mathrm{kg}, 100 \mathrm{kg}\) of which is fuel and oxygen for the rocket motor. Find (a) the exhaust mass flow rate required to just lift off initially, (b) the mass flow rate just as the fuel and oxygen are used up, and (c) the maximum anticipated time of flight. Note that the Moon's gravity is about 17 percent of Earth's.
