Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications
- A 12500 N car is driven at sea level on a level paved surface. The car has CD=0.78and 1.99 m^2 frontal area. At max speed, a power of 30000 Watts is being used to overcome both the aerodynamic and rolling resistance. Determine the car's max speed in kph. (1N-m/s = 1 watt)arrow_forwardAn engineer designing a light aircraft is trying to make an estimate of the radius of the propeller needed. The design speed of the aircraft is 69m/s into still air and at this speed experience allows the engineer to assume a propeller efficiency of 0.8. Other analysis shows that a thrust of 9296N must be supplied by the propeller to maintain the design speed. Assuming a constant air density of 1.21 kg/m³, determine the radius of the ideal propeller in m to 2 decimal places. Note: Use the propulsive efficiency equation to find the final downstream speed of the air and check that this makes physical sense before calculating the radius.arrow_forwardCommercially available large wind turbines have blade span diameters as large as 100 m and generate over 3 MW of electric power at peak design conditions. Consider a wind turbine with a 90 m blade span subjected to 25 km/h steady winds. If the combined turbine generator efficiency of the wind turbine is 32 percent, determine(a) The power generated by the turbine.(b) The horizontal force exerted by the wind on the supporting mast of the turbine.Take the density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3and disregard frictional effects.arrow_forward
- A horizontal cylinder of air with length 1 ft and cross-sectional area 2 ft2 is accelerated by a large fan blade in contact with one of the cylinder’s horizontal surfaces. Assume atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi. Determine the cylinder horizontal acceleration in feet/s2. The force of the blade on the cylinder is 4,234 pounds. For the air density, use the value 2.38 E - 3.arrow_forwardA CEO of a well-known television show wants to build a new rectangular shaped acting stage. The width, thickness and length of the stage are 3 m, 0.2 m and 5 m, respectively. Both ends of the stage must be fixed. The stage should carry a musical instrument, and air conditioner of a total mass of 1500 kg and 800 kg at 1 m, and 2 m from the left end support. Such equipment acts as a concentrated loads on the stage that has a distributed load of 500 kg/m. The Young’s modulus of the material is 200 GPa. 1.1. Use the engineering sketch to illustrate the structure of the stage and calculate the transverse vibration frequency of the stage. 1.2. Determine the amount of rection forces on the stage supports.arrow_forward6-28 Commercially available large wind turbines have blade span diameters larger than 100 m and generate over 3 MW of electric power at peak design conditions. Consider a wind turbine with a 75-m blade span subjected to 25-km/h steady winds. If Page 285 the combined turbine-generator efficiency of the wind turbine is 32 percent, determine (a) the power generated by the turbine and (b) the horizontal force exerted by the wind on the supporting mast of the turbine. Take the density of air to be 1.25 kg/m³, and disregard frictional effects on mast. 25 km/h 75 marrow_forward
- A flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.500m and a face area of 4.00m2 on top and bottom, and its density is 0.400 times that of fresh water. It is initially held fully submerged in fresh water, with its top face at the water surface.Then it is allowed to ascend gradually until it begins to float. How much work does the buoyant force do on the device during the ascent?arrow_forwardAsmall block with a mass of 0.0900 kg is attached to a cord passing through a hole In a frictionless, horizontal surface. The block Is originally revolving at a distance of 0.40 m from the hole witha speed of 0.70m/s. The cord Is then pulled from below, shortening the radlus of the circle in which the block revolves to 0.10 m. At this new distance, the speed of the block Is observed to be 2.80 m/s. What is the tension In the cord In the final situation when the block has speed v-2.80m/s?

- The distance between the centers of the two arms of a U-tube open to the atmosphere is 30 cm, and the U-tube contains 20 cm high alcohol in both arms. Now the U-tube is rotated about the left arm at 4.2 rad/s. Determine the elevation difference between the fluid surfaces in the tow arms.CHOICES a.0.81 m b.0.96 m c.0.33 m d.0.67 marrow_forwardUnder what conditions can a moving body of fluid be treated as a rigid body?arrow_forward6-22 A 90° elbaw is used to direct water flow at a rate of 25 kgis in a horizontal pipe upward. The diameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 35 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Determine (a) the gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow and (b) the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place.
