(b) An experimental balloon filled with helium is equipped with meteorological instruments is released to the atmosphere from sea level. Measurement data was analysed to derive the linear temperature lapse rate up to high altitudes above sea level. The lapse rate was found to be equal to 0.0065 K/m. Estimate the altitude of the balloon above sea level when the atmospheric pressure is equal to 60 kPa. Atmospheric temperature and pressure at sea level may be assumed to be equal to 15°C and 101 kPa. Characteristic gas constant is 287J/kgK.

Air is flowing in a duct with velocity of 7.62 m/s and static pressure of 2.16 cm water gage. The duct diameter is 1.22 m, the barometric pressure 99.4 kPa and the gage flt*d temperature and air temperature are 30 C. What is the total pressure against which the fan will operate in cm of water?
An intrepid treasure-salvage group has discovered a steelbox, containing gold doubloons and other valuables, restingin 80 ft of seawater. They estimate the weight of thebox and treasure (in air) at 7000 lbf. Their plan is to attachthe box to a sturdy balloon, infl ated with air to 3 atm pressure.The empty balloon weighs 250 lbf. The box is 2 ftwide, 5 ft long, and 18 in high. What is the proper diameterof the balloon to ensure an upward lift force on the box thatis 20 percent more than required?
A diver 50 m deep in 8°C fresh water exhales a 1.2 cm diameter bubble which rises to the surface of the water and has a diameter of 2.2 cm when it reaches the surface of the water. Assume the air bubble rises slow enough that it is always in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding water. Include units in all your numerical responses 1. Determine the pressure of the air inside the bubbles
A tremendous force is generated when waterfreezes into ice and expands in volume by 9.0%. Suppose a 1.000-m3cube of liquid water freezes into ice that is 1.000 m on a side by1.090 m tall. How many 68-kg students would the ice be able tolift? Determine this by calculating the amount of force on the top1.000-m2face that would be required to squeeze 1.090 m3of iceback to 1.000 m3, assuming all of the volume change occurs alongthe vertical direction
Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase of 1.2 °C.Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean warming is not uniform with depth. Properties of water: 3 = 210 x 10 /C. c= 4186 J/kg - °C, L; = 334 kJ/kg, Le = 2256 kJ/kg Enter you answer below (to the nearest mm): Ah (in mm) = Type your answer.
As measured by NASA’s Viking landers, the atmosphereof Mars, where g ≈ 3.71 m/s 2 , is almost entirely carbondioxide, and the surface pressure averages 700 Pa. The temperatureis cold and drops off exponentially: T ≈ T o e - Cz ,where C = 1.3E-5 m - 1 and T o = 250 K. For example,at 20,000 m altitude, T ≈ 193 K. ( a ) Find an analyticformula for the variation of pressure with altitude.( b ) Find the altitude where pressure on Mars has droppedto 1 pascal.
1. Suppose you are flying a 7,784 kilograms aircraft at 14,630 meters where the air density is 0.2062 kilograms/cubic meter. Your current cruising speed is 290 kilometers/hour (108 m/s) and the wing area of the aircraft is 186 square meters. You need to make some altitude changes and will need to know the "Lift Coefficient" of the aircraft in order to do so. What is theCl for your aircraft?

For most gases at standard or near standard conditions, the relationshipamong pressure, density, and temperature is given by the perfect gasequation of state: p = ρRT, where R is the specific gas constant. For airat near standard conditions, R = 287 J/(kg · K) in the International System of Units and R = 1716 ft · lb/(slug · ◦R) in the English Engineering System of Units. Using the above information, consider the following two cases: a. At a given point on the wing of a Boeing 727, the pressure andtemperature of the air are 1.9 × 104 N/m2 and 203 K, respectively.Calculate the density at this point.b. At a point in the test section of a supersonic wind tunnel, the pressureand density of the air are 1058 lb/ft2 and 1.23 × 10−3 slug/ft3,respectively. Calculate the temperature at this point.
A fighter aircraft is to operate at 200 m/s in air at standard conditions ( = 1.2 kg/m3). Amodel is constructed to 1/20 scale (length ratio) and tested in a wind tunnel at the sameair temperature (same air viscosity) to determine the drag force. The drag force FD is afunction of the air density  and viscosity , the velocity V and the cross section length ofthe airplane D.
