Chapter 17, Problem 17RQ
In a turbine, a device used for mixing, the power required depends on the size and shape of the impeller. In the lab, we have collected the following data:
- a. Create a proper plot of the power (P, ordinate) versus the diameter (D) assuming the data are experimental.
- b. Use polyfit to determine a power relationship for the data set and graph the resulting trendline along with the experimental data.
- c. In a different experiment with different data, you determine the relationship to be P = 0.25 D5. Create a proper plot of this expression on the same graph, assuming the units for both the diameter and power are the same as shown in the table.

- As we explained in earlier chapters, the air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. The drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm. Vary the air speed in the range of 15 m/sarrow_forwardYou are the mechanical engineer supervising the layout of a piping system. In a certain portion of the pipe, the specifications are as follows: length of pipe is 10m, inside diameter of 30cm, outside diameter of 30.5cm, maximum allowable speed of 15m/s and a coefficient of 0.003456. If the uncertainties are 0.02mm for length, 0.8mm for the diameters and 0.1mm/s for the velocity, what loss of head will be imminent in this pipe? In the piping system above, what is the uncertainty in computed head loss contributed by the velocity of the pipe?arrow_forwardConstruct a plot showing the sequence of events on an oil viscosity vs. pressure for the given reservoir below. A reservoir was discovered in an undersaturated condition (call this state, point A). Gas was injected to maintain pressure (point B), and eventually formed a secondary gas cap (point C). Water injection was employed to increase the reservoir pressure (above discovery pressure) until an undersaturated condition existed again (point D). Finally, all injection ceased and the reservoir was blown down to abandonment pressure (point E).arrow_forwarda) Vortex shedding is a common fluid flow problem across bluff bodies. The design of buildings and bridges take into account the analysis of vortex shedding phenomena to avoid the occurrence of resonance, where the natural frequency of the body matches the vortex shedding frequency. In this analysis, the following parameters are found to be important: velocity of flow (V), density of fluid (p), hydraulic diameter of the duct (D₁), dynamic viscosity of fluid (u), width of body (B) and the vortex shedding frequency (n). Using the method of repeating variables, find the non-dimensional relationship governing the phenomena.arrow_forwardQUESTION 2 The data in the accompanying table were obtained from EPA 1993 Gas Mileage Guide for new automobiles.
