A fan must accelerate 2.5 m3 / s of air, from rest to 8 m / s. If the air density is 950 g / m3, a) Determine the minimum power that must be supplied to the fan and, b) Determine the diameter of the fan blades to provide the given volumetric flow with an average speed of 8 m / s.
A new design of Saturn 11 rocket with mass 1.89 x106 kg has a propulsion engine that can eject gases at a constant speed of 362.21 m/s (vGas) by burning fuel at a rate of 2.27 x105 kg/s (dmdT). In full tank, the rocket can carry a fuel of mass 43.25 x106 kg. If this design exceeds the velocity of 11,200 m/s it can successfully escape Earth's gravity. Determine if this is so. Find its maximum velocity (velyZ). (Pitch Angle = 0)
The jet has a speed of 1260 km/hkm/h when it is flying horizontally. Air enters the intake scoop S� at the rate of 52 m3/sm3/s. The engine burns fuel at the rate of 1.85 kg/skg/s, and the gas (air and fuel) is exhausted relative to the plane with a speed of 2330 km/hkm/h. The plane has a mass of 8 MgMg. Assume that the air has a constant density of ρa�� = 1.112 kg/m3kg/m3. (Figure 1) Determine the drag exerted on the plane by air resistance. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A 60-kg ice skater is standing on ice with ice skates (negligible friction). She is holding a flexible hose (essentially weightless) that directs a 2-cm-diameter stream of water horizontally parallel to her skates. The water velocity at the hose outlet is 10 m/s relative to the skater. If she is initially standing still, determine (a) the velocity of the skater and the distance she travels in 5 s and (b) how long it will take to move 5 m and the velocity at that moment.
A 100-ft3 /s wáter jet hits a horizontally lying stationary splitter, such that half of the mass flow is diverted one way and the other half is diverted the other way, and both streams have a uniform velocity of 18 ft/s. The deflection angle of the splitter is 45 degrees as shown. Obtain (a) the cross-sectional area of the jet and (b) the horizontal (x-y) components of the force required to hold the splitter in place.
While cruising in level flight at a speed of 570 mi/h, a jet airplane scoops in air at a rate of 240 lb/s and discharges it with a velocity of 2200 ft/s relative to the airplane. Determine (a) the power actually used to propel the airplane, (b) the total power developed by the engine, (c) the mechanical efficiency of the airplane.
A wind generator with a 30-ft-diameter blade span has a cut-in wind speed (minimum speed for power generation) of 7 mph, at which velocity the turbine generates 0.4 kW of electric power. Determine (a) the efficiency of the wind turbine–generator unit and (b) the horizontal force exerted by the wind on the supporting mast of the wind turbine. What is the effect of doubling the wind velocity to 14 mph on power generation and the force exerted? Assume the efficiency remains the same, and take the density of air to be 0.076 lbm/ft3.
In a rocket, the kinetic energy imparted to the consumed and ejected fuel is wasted as far as propelling the rocket is concerned. The useful power is equal to the product of the force available to propel the rocket and the speed of the rocket. If v is the speed of the rocket and u is the relative speed of the expelled fuel, show that the mechanical efficiency of the rocket is η=2uv/(u2 + v2). Explain why η = 1 when u=v.
Consider an airplane cruising at 1000 km/h to the right. If the velocity of exhaust gases is 700 km/h to the left relative to the ground, the velocity of the exhaust gases relative to the nozzle exit is (a) 1700 km/h (b) 1000 km/h (c) 700 km/h (d) 300 km/h (e) 150 km/h
Consider a ski jumper moving down a track to acquire sufficient speed to accomplish the ski jumping task. The length of the track is I = 30 m and the track makes an angle 0 = 40° with the horizontal. If the skier starts at the top of the track with zero initial speed, determine the takeoff speed, v2. of the skier at the bottom of the track using the conservation of energy principle. Assume that the effects of friction and air resistance are negligible.
