At rated thrust, a liquid-fueled rocket motor consumes \(80 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s}\) of nitric acid as oxidizer and \(32 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s}\) of aniline as fuel. Flow leaves axially at \(180 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) relative to the nozzle and at \(110 \mathrm{kPa}\). The nozzle exit diameter is \(D=0.6 \mathrm{m}\). Calculate the thrust produced by the motor on a test stand at standard sealevel pressure.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The thrust produced by the rocket motor on a test stand at standard sealevel pressure is 22596 N.

Step by step solution

01

Gather the given data

From the exercise, the following data is given:\[ \text{Mass flow rate of oxidizer } (m_1) = 80 \, \text{kg/s} \] \[ \text{Mass flow rate of fuel } (m_2) = 32 \, \text{kg/s} \] \[ \text{Ejection velocity } (V_e) = 180 \, \text{m/s} \] \[ \text{Nozzle exit pressure } (P_e) = 110 \, \text{kPa} \] \[ \text{Nozzle exit diameter } (D) = 0.6 \, \text{m} \] \[ \text{Standard sealevel pressure } (P_a) = 101.3 \, \text{kPa} \]
02

Calculate total mass flow rate

The total mass flow rate is given by the sum of the mass flow rates of the fuel and oxidizer. It is calculated as follows: \[ m = m_1 + m_2 = 80 \, \text{kg/s} + 32 \, \text{kg/s} = 112 \, \text{kg/s} \]
03

Convert pressures into same units

Before carrying out the thrust calculations, ensure that the pressures (nozzle exit pressure and standard sealevel pressure) are in the same units. Given that the sealevel pressure is in kPa, convert 110 kPa to Pa. \[ P_e = 110 \times 10^3 \, \text{Pa} = 110000 \, \text{Pa} \] \[ P_a = 101.3 \times 10^3 \, \text{Pa} = 101300 \, \text{Pa} \]
04

Calculate the area of rocket nozzle

The area of the rocket nozzle is calculated using the equation for the area of a circle. The resulting value is necessary for the thrust calculation. \[ A = \frac{Ï€D^2}{4} = \frac{Ï€ \times (0.6)^2}{4} = 0.28 \, \text{m}^2 \]
05

Calculate the thrust

Using the rocket thrust equation: Thrust \( T = mV_e +(P_e - P_a)A \), where \( m \) is total mass flow rate, \( V_e \) is ejection velocity, \(P_e\) is nozzle exit pressure, \(P_a\) is atmospheric pressure and \( A \) is the nozzle area. Therefore, \[ T = (112 \, \text{kg/s} \times 180 \, \text{m/s}) + [(110000 \, \text{Pa} - 101300 \, \text{Pa}) \times 0.28 \, \text{m}^2] = 20160 \, \text{N} + 2436 \, \text{N} = 22596 \, \text{N} \]

A centrifugal water pump with a 0.1-m-diameter inlet and a 0.1 -m-diameter discharge pipe has a flow rate of \(0.02 \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}\). The inlet pressure is \(0.2 \mathrm{m}\) Hg vacuum and the exit pressure is \(240 \mathrm{kPa}\). The inlet and outlet sections are located at the same elevation. The measured power input is \(6.75 \mathrm{kW}\). Determine the pump efficiency.

Considering that in the fully developed region of a pipe, the integral of the axial momentum is the same at all cross sections, explain the reason for the pressure drop along the pipe.

\(\mathrm{A}\) -home-made" solid propellant rocket has an initial mass of \(20 \mathrm{lbm} ; 15 \mathrm{lbm}\) of this is fuel. The rocket is directed vertically upward from rest, burns fuel at a constant rate of \(0.5 \mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{s},\) and ejects exhaust gas at a speed of \(6500 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) relative to the rocket. Assume that the pressure at the exit is atmospheric and that air resistance may be neglected. Calculate the rocket speed after 20 s and the distance traveled by the rocket in 20 s. Plot the rocket speed and the distance traveled as functions of time.

You are making beer. The first step is filling the glass carboy with the liquid wort. The internal diameter of the carboy is 15 in., and you wish to fill it up to a depth of 2 ft. If your wort is drawn from the kettle using a siphon process that flows at 3 gpm, how long will it take to fill?

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.
