- Water at 20°C flows past a 1-m-diameter circular cylinder.The upstream centerline pressure is 128,500 Pa. If the lowestpressure on the cylinder surface is exactly the vaporpressure, estimate, by potential theory, the stream velocity.arrow_forwardThe Rankine body of revolution in Fig. is 60 cm longand 30 cm in diameter. When it is immersed in the low-pressurewater tunnel as shown, cavitation may appear atpoint A. Compute the stream velocity U, neglecting surfacewave formation, for which cavitation occurs.arrow_forwardAir 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.

- A 1-m-diameter sphere is being towed at speed V in freshwater at 20°C as shown in Fig. Assuming inviscidtheory with an undistorted free surface, estimate the speedV in m/s at which cavitation will first appear on the spheresurface. Where will cavitation appear? For this condition,what will be the pressure at point A on the sphere, which is45° up from the direction of travel?arrow_forwardConsider steady flow of water through an axisymmetric garden hose nozzle. Along the centerline of the nozzle, the water speed increases from uentrance to uexit as sketched. Measurements reveal that the centerline water speed increases parabolically through the nozzle, calculate the fluid acceleration along the nozzle centerline as a function of x and the given parameters.arrow_forwardA tornado is simulated by a line sink m = -1000 m2/s plus aline vortex K = 1600 m2/s. Find the angle between anystreamline and a radial line, and show that it is independent ofboth r and θ. If this tornado forms in sea-level standard air, atwhat radius will the local pressure be equivalent to 29 inHg?arrow_forward
- A solid cone of angle 2θ, mass (m), base radius (r0), and density (ρc), is rotating with angular velocity (w0) on its conical seat. The clearance (h) is filled with oil of viscosity (μ). Neglecting air resistance, determine: a) an expression for the moment (M) as a function of r0, w0,μ,θ, and h. b) an expression for the angular velocity (w) for t≥0 as a function of w0,μ,θ,h, r0,m and t if an external torque is not applied. If the radius of gyration of the cone is 16 cm, determine: c ) the value of the angular momentum and velocity if w0=60RPM,h=0.05mm,θ=30°,μ=0.98cPoise , m=20kg, t=2.0sarrow_forwardLiquid is pushed through the narrow gap formed between two glass plates. Thedistance between the plates is h and the width of the plate is b . Assuming that theflow is laminar, two-dimensional and fully developed, derive a formula for thelongitudinal pressure gradient in terms of the volumetric flow rate, Q, the fluid viscosityand the distances b and h .In an example the above conditions apply with b = 0.10 m and h = 0.00076 m. Theliquid is glycerine that has an absolute viscosity of 0.96 N s/m². A pressure differenceof 192 kN/m² is applied over a distance of 0.24 m. Calculate the maximum velocity thatoccurs in the centre plane of the gap and the mean velocity.Answer 0.06 m/sarrow_forwardA 10-in diameter plunger slides in a 10.006-in diameter cylinder, the annular space being filled with oil having a kinematic viscosity of 0.004 ft²/s and specific gravity of 0.85. If the plunger moves at 0.6 ft/s, find the frictional resistance when 9ft is engaged in the cylinder.arrow_forward
- t=0 with condition (X,Y)=(1,1) solve the particle trajectory eqn. How does this compare to streamlines of this paritcular flow?arrow_forwardWater falls down a vertical pipe by gravity alone. The flow between vertical locations z1 and z2 is fully developed, and velocity profiles at these two locations are sketched. Since there is no forced pressure gradient, pressure P is constant everywhere in the flow (P = Patm). Calculate the modified pressure at locations z1 and z2. Sketch profiles of modified pressure at locations z1 and z2. Discuss.arrow_forwardAssume 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.arrow_forward
