Consider two different flows over geometrically similar airfoil shapes,one airfoil being twice the size of the other. The flow over the smallerairfoil has freestream properties given by T∞ = 200 K, ρ∞ = 1.23 kg/m3,and V∞ = 100 m/s. The flow over the larger airfoil is described byT∞ = 800 K, ρ∞ = 1.739 kg/m3, and V∞ = 200 m/s. Assume thatboth μ and a are proportional to T 1/2. Are the two flows dynamicallysimilar?

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.
Suppose that there is a 4-cm water jet with a velocity of 15 m/s which hits a vertical plate with a mass on 800 kg. This plate is mounted on a track which is nearly frictionless and starts out not moving. when the jet strikes the plate, water leaves by splashing out in the plane of the plate. what is the acceleration of the plate when the jet first hits it? What is the velocity of the plate after 60 seconds? Assume that the momentum correction factor s 1.04.

A Francis radial-flow hydroturbine has the following dimensions, where location 2 is the inlet and location 1 is the outlet: r2 = 2.00 m, r1 = 1.30 m, b2 = 0.85 m, and b1 = 2.10 m. The runner blade angles are ?2 = 71.4° and ?1 = 15.3° at the turbine inlet and outlet, respectively. The runner rotates at n. = 160 rpm. The volume flow rate at design conditions is 80.0 m3/s. Irreversible losses are neglected in this preliminary analysis. Calculate the angle ?2 through which the wicket gates should turn the flow, where ?2 is measured from the radial direction at the runner inlet. Calculate the swirl angle ?1, where ?1 is measured from the radial direction at the runner outlet. Does this turbine have forward or reverse swirl? Predict the power output (MW) and required net head (m).
