As shown in Figure 5, you are asked to set up the two-dimensional simulation of a flow in a channel, which is part of a duct system. Flow enters on the left at A, a splitter blade D separates the flow into an open upper channel with wall B and a lower channel with wall G and heat-exchanger tubes F. The flow exits at C and E.Your simulation is supposed to enable the designer to position the splitter blade D vertically such that the target flowrate through the lower channel is achieved for a given flow-rate entering at A. a) Choose boundary conditions (b.c.) for the boundaries A-G from the types of b.c. typically implemented with an incompressible CFD solver. State what quantities those b.c. impose, and which they leave undefined. Justify your choice of boundary condition.[12 marks] b) Discuss the most important errors your choice of b.c. may introduce and how those could be remedied [4 marks] c) While walking past your desk, your team-leader reminds you that the quantity of interest is…
You 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?

The pumping power of the human heart is approximately 2W (assuming a normal cardiac output of 5 liters/min). Like any pump, however, the heart is not 100% efficient, and, therefore, the power that is supplied to the heart muscle will actually exceed 2W. In this question we will estimate the heart’s pumping efficiency η by calculating how much energy is supplied to the heart muscle from the blood.(Note that the heart muscle has its own vasculature, called the coronarycirculation.) (a) When we calculated the pumping power of the heart, we only considered the head gain across the heart from the pressure increase. In general, there could also be changes in elevation (very small) and in kineticenergy. Estimate the ratio of kinetic energy head to pressure head at peaksystole, when pressure is 120 mmHg and blood velocity is 100 cm/s.Can we safely neglect kinetic energy gains in calculating pumpingpower?(b) At rest, the coronary blood flow is 225 ml/min, and 65% of the O2 isremoved from the…
Complex piping system—D. Consider the piping system shown in Fig.P3.28. The pressures p1 and p5 are both essentially atmospheric (0 psig); there isan increase in elevation between points 4 and 5, but pipes C and D are horizontal.The head-discharge curves for the centrifugal pumps can be represented by:Δp = a − bQ2,in which Δp is the pressure increase in psig across the pump, Q is the flow rate ingpm, and a and b are constants depending on the particular pump.Use a spreadsheet that will accept values for aA, bA, aB, bB, z5 − z4, DC, LC,DD, LD, DE, LE, and the Fanning friction factor (assumed constant throughout).Then solve for the unknowns QC, QD, QE, p2, p3, and p4. Take z5 − z4 = 70 ft,fF= 0.00698, with other parameters given in Tables P3.28.1 and P3.28.2.Assume that the above pipe lengths have already included the equivalent lengthsof all fittings and valves.(SHOW THE CODE OR EXCEL FROMULAS USED)
Figure Q2a shows a Venturi meter with minimum diameter of 19 mm and maximum diameter 31 mm. This Venturi meter was used to measure flowrate of fluid M. During the measurement, it was found that the pressure detected at location (1) is 735 kPa, while the the pressure detected at location (2) is 550 kPa. Determine the volumetric flow rate and mass flow rate of fluid M through the Venturi meter. Given density of fluid M is 928 kg/m3.
