Viscous liquid from a circular tank, \(D=300 \mathrm{mm}\) in diameter, drains through a long circular tube of radius \(R=50 \mathrm{mm}\) The velocity profile at the tube discharge is \\[ u=u_{\max }\left[1-\left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^{2}\right] \\] Show that the average speed of flow in the drain tube is \(\bar{V}=\frac{1}{2} u_{\max } .\) Evaluate the rate of change of liquid level in the tank at the instant when \(u_{\max }=0.155 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The average speed of flow in the drain tube is \(\bar{V}=\frac{1}{2} u_{\max }\). The rate of change of the liquid level in the tank when \(u_{\max }=0.155 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) can be calculated using the derived formula from step 2.

Step by step solution

01

Derive Average Velocity

Begin by integrating the velocity profile \(u=u_{\max }\left[1-\left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^{2}\right]\) over the area of the tube in order to obtain the total flow rate, \(Q\). As we know, the flow rate \(Q\) is equal to \(Q = \int u \, dA = \int_0^R u_{\max }\left[1-\left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^{2}\right] 2 \pi r \, dr = \frac{1}{2} \pi R^2 u_{\max}\). Here, \(dA=2\pi r \, dr\) is an annulus at radius \(r\) and width \(dr\).\n\nThe average speed of the liquid is the total flow rate divided by the cross-sectional area of the tube, \(\bar{V} = \frac{Q}{A}\). Setting the cross-sectional area \(A=\pi R^2\), the average speed becomes \(\bar{V}=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1}{2} u_{\max}\).
02

Evaluate Rate of Change of Liquid Level

The rate of change of the liquid level in the tank is the total flow rate divided by the cross-sectional area of the tank. From step 1, we know that \(Q = \frac{1}{2} \pi R^2 u_{\max}\). The cross-sectional area of the tank is \(A = \frac{\pi}{4} D^2\). Therefore, we can determine the rate of change as follows: \(dh/dt = -Q/A = -\frac{1}{2} \frac{R^2}{D^2} u_{\max}\), setting \(u_{\max} = 0.155 \, m/s\), we can now evaluate \(dh/dt\). The negative sign indicates that the liquid level in the tank is decreasing.

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?

\( \mathrm{A}\) 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 rocket sled with initial mass of 3 metric tons, including 1 ton of fuel, rests on a level section of track. At \(t=\) \(0,\) the solid fuel of the rocket is ignited and the rocket burns fuel at the rate of \(75 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s}\). The exit speed of the exhaust gas relative to the rocket is \(2500 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\), and the pressure is atmospheric. Neglecting friction and air resistance, calculate the acceleration and speed of the sled at \(t=10\) s.

\(\mathrm{A}\) high school experiment consists of a block of mass \(2 \mathrm{kg}\) sliding across a surface (coefficient of friction \(\mu=0.6\) ). If it is given an initial velocity of \(5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\), how far will it slide, and how long will it take to come to rest? The surface is now roughened a little, so with the same initial speed it travels a distance of \(2 \mathrm{m}\). What is the new coefficient of friction, and how long does it now slide?

In a laboratory experiment, the water flow rate is to be measured catching the water as it vertically exits a pipe into an empty open tank that is on a zeroed balance. The tank is \(10 \mathrm{m}\) directly below the pipe exit, and the pipe diameter is \(50 \mathrm{mm} .\) One student obtains a flow rate by noting that after 60 s the volume of water (at \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) in the tank was \(2 \mathrm{m}^{3}\). Another student obtains a flow rate by reading the instantaneous weight accumulated of \(3150 \mathrm{kg}\) indicated at the \(60-\mathrm{s}\) point. Find the mass flow rate each student computes. Why do they disagree? Which one is more accurate? Show that the magnitude of the discrepancy can be explained by any concept you may have.
