Air at 20°C and 1 atm flow at 20 m/s past the flat platein Fig. . A pitot stagnation tube, placed 2 mm fromthe wall, develops a manometer head h = 16 mm of Meriamred oil, SG = 0.827. Use this information to estimatethe downstream position x of the pitot tube. Assumelaminar flow.
A bicycle tire is fi lled with air at an absolute pressure of169.12 kPa, and the temperature inside is 30.0 °C. Supposethe valve breaks, and the air starts to exhaust out of the tireinto the atmosphere (pa = 100 kPa absolute and Ta =20.0 °C). The valve exit is 2.00 mm in diameter and is thesmallest cross-sectional area of the entire system. Frictionallosses can be ignored here; one-dimensional isentropicflow is a reasonable assumption. (a) Find the Machnumber, velocity, and temperature at the exit plane of thevalve (initially). (b) Find the initial mass flow rate out ofthe tire. (c) Estimate the velocity at the exit plane using theincompressible Bernoulli equation. How well does thisestimate agree with the “exact” answer of part (a)? Explain.
A jet of alcohol strikes the vertical plate in Fig. P3.112. Aforce F ≈ 425 N is required to hold the plate stationary.Assuming there are no losses in the nozzle, estimate ( a ) the massfl ow rate of alcohol and ( b ) the absolute pressure at section 1.
Air flows through a converging–diverging nozzle betweentwo large reservoirs, as shown in Fig. A mercurymanometer between the throat and the downstream reservoirreads h = 15 cm. Estimate the downstream reservoirpressure. Is there a normal shock in the flow? If so, does itstand in the exit plane or farther upstream?

Consider the incompressible viscous flow of air between two infinitelylong parallel plates separated by a distance h. The bottom plate isstationary, and the top plate is moving at the constant velocity ue in thedirection of the plate. Assume that no pressure gradient exists in the flowdirection.a. Obtain an expression for the variation of velocity between the plates.b. If T = constant = 320 K, ue = 30 m/s, and h = 0.01 m, calculate theshear stress on the top and bottom plates.
Assume an inviscid, incompressible flow. Also, standard sea level density and pressure are 1.23 kg/m3 (0.002377 slug/ft3) and 1.01 × 105 N/m2 (2116 lb/ft2), respectively. Consider a venturi with a small hole drilled in the side of the throat. Thishole is connected via a tube to a closed reservoir. The purpose of theventuri is to create a vacuum in the reservoir when the venturi is placed inan airstream. (The vacuum is defined as the pressure difference below theoutside ambient pressure.) The venturi has a throat-to-inlet area ratio of0.85. Calculate the maximum vacuum obtainable in the reservoir when theventuri is placed in an airstream of 90 m/s at standard sea level conditions.
Air flows through a duct as in Fig, where A1 =24 cm2, A2 = 18 cm2, and A3 = 32 cm2. A normalshock stands at section 2. Compute (a) the mass flow,(b) the Mach number, and (c) the stagnation pressure atsection 3.
A blower supplies standard air to a plenum that feeds twohorizontal square sheet-metal ducts with sharp-edged entrances.One duct is 100 ft long, with a cross-section 6 in by6 in. The second duct is 200 ft long. Each duct exhausts tothe atmosphere. When the plenum pressure is 5.0 lbf/ft2(gage) the volume flow in the longer duct is three times theflow in the shorter duct. Estimate both volume flows andthe cross-section size of the longer duct.

An engineer who took college fluid mechanics on apass-fail basis has placed the static pressure hole farupstream of the stagnation probe, as in Fig, thuscontaminating the pitot measurement ridiculously withpipe friction losses. If the pipe flow is air at 20°C and1 atm and the manometer fluid is Meriam red oil (SG =0.827), estimate the air centerline velocity for the givenmanometer reading of 16 cm.
