Chapter 4: Problem 99

\( \mathrm{A}\) 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.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The mass flow rate in the wind tunnel = \( \dot{m} \) (kg/s), The maximum velocity at section 2 = \( V_{2}^{max} \) (m/s), The drag of the object = \( D \) (N). As the calculations for exact values depend on the unit conversions and the values used, the numerical answer will vary slightly based on the precision.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the density of air

Using the pressure relation with water and air, we get the density of the air, \( \rho \), as follows: \( \rho = \frac{P_{1} - P_{2}}{g} \times \frac{1}{h} \times \rho_{water} \) where \( P_{1} = 30 mm H_{2}O \) (upstream pressure), \( P_{2} = 15 mm H_{2}O \) (downstream pressure), \( g = 9.8 m/s^{2} \) (acceleration due to gravity), \( h = 0.75 m \) (diameter of wind tunnel) and \( \rho_{water} = 1000 kg/m^{3} \) (density of water).
02

Calculate the mass flow rate

The mass flow rate \( \dot{m} \) is given by: \( \dot{m} = \rho \cdot A \cdot v \) where \( A = \pi \times (d/2)^{2} \) (cross-sectional area of the wind tunnel) and \( v = 12.5 m/s \) (mean air speed). Substituting the calculated values, we can get the mass flow rate.
03

Calculate the maximum velocity at section 2

The maximum velocity \( V_{2}^{max} \) at section 2 can be calculated by solving Bernoulli's equation which states that total pressure (the sum of static and dynamic pressure) is constant: \( \frac{V_{1}^{2}}{2} + P_{1} = \frac{V_{2}^{max^{2}}}{2} + P_{2} \) where \( V_{1} = 12.5 m/s \) (velocity at section 1), \( P_{1} \) and \( P_{2} \) are the upstream and downstream pressures. We rearrange and solve for \( V_{2}^{max}. \)
04

Calculate the drag of the object

We assume the object to be a circular cylinder placed in the wind tunnel. The drag \( D \) on the object and its supporting vane is given by: \( D = \rho \cdot V_{2}^{max}^{2} \cdot A \cdot C_{d} \) where \( C_{d} \) (drag coefficient) for a circular cylinder is 1.2, and the other values are obtained from previous steps. Substituting these, we get the drag.

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.)

A small steel ball of radius \(r=1 \mathrm{mm}\) is placed on top of a horizontal pipe of outside radius \(R=50 \mathrm{mm}\) and begins to roll under the influence of gravity, Rolling resistance and air resistance are negligible. As the speed of the ball increases, it eventually leaves the surface of the pipe and becomes a projectile. Determine the speed and location at which the ball loses contact with the pipe.

A pipe branches symmetrically into two legs of length \(L,\) and the whole system rotates with angular speed \(\omega\) around its axis of symmetry. Each branch is inclined at angle \(\alpha\) to the axis of rotation. Liquid enters the pipe steadily, with zero angular momentum, at volume flow rate \(Q\). The pipe diameter, \(D,\) is much smaller than \(L\) Obtain an expression for the external torque required to turn the pipe. What additional torque would be required to impart angular acceleration \(\dot{\omega} ?\)

Air enters a tank through an area of \(0.2 \mathrm{ft}^{2}\) with a velocity of 15 fl/s and a density of 0.03 slug \(f\) ft \(^{3}\). Air leaves with a velocity of \(5 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) and a density equal to that in the tank. The initial density of the air in the tank is 0.02 slug/ft' \(^{3}\). The total tank volume is \(20 \mathrm{ft}^{3}\) and the exit area is \(0.4 \mathrm{ft}^{2}\). Find the initial rate of change of density in the tank.

\(\mathrm{A}\) -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.
