- A very thin region of flow near a solid wall where viscous forces and rotationality cannot be ignored is called (a) Inviscid region of flow (b) Irrotational flow (c) Boundary layer (d ) Outer flow region (e) Creeping flowarrow_forwardSpaces h1=15 mm and h2=20 mm wide between upper and lower stationary plates and a very thin moving plate is filled with crude oil (oil =7.18x10-3 Pas) and water (water =1.00x10-3 Pas), respectively. What force is required to drag the plate of 0.5 m2 area between the surfaces at a speed of v=0.15 m/s. Assume linear velocity profilearrow_forwardA 100-ft3/s water jet is moving in the positive x-direction at 18 ft/s. The stream hits a stationary splitter, such that half of the flow is diverted upward at 45° and the other half is directed downward, and both streams have a final average speed of 18 ft/s. Disregarding gravitational effects, determine the x- and z-components of the force required to hold the splitter in place against the water force.arrow_forward
- A 95-ft3/s water jet is moving in the positive x-direction at 17 ft/s. The stream hits a stationary splitter, such that half of the flow is diverted upward at 45° and the other half is directed downward, and both streams have a final average speed of 17 ft/s. Disregarding gravitational effects, determine the x- and z- components of the force required to hold the splitter in place against the water force.arrow_forwardA horizontal fan (such as that shown in example 5.24) pulls in stagnant air (ie. basically stationary air) atatmospheric pressure; the air approaches the fan outlet with speed 44 ft/sec (ie. 30 mph) and with static pressure 0.3 psi. The air flowing through the fan can be assumed to have a constant density of 2.4*10-3 slug/ft3. The air losses due to friction are 0.1 psi (or 6000 ft-lb/slug of air passing from the fan inlet to the outlet). a) Determine the shaft work in ft-lb/slug b) If the fan outlet area is 2 ft2, determine the rate of work on the air.arrow_forwardA liquid (? = 850 kg/?3; ? = 1.7 × 10−1 Pa ∙ s) flows tangentially past a flat plate. If the free stream velocity is 2 m/s Question 1: what is the velocity 5 m downstream from the leading edge of the plateand 15 mm away from the plate. Question 2: if that plate is 10 m long and 3 m wide. Determine the drag force on the plate when liquid flows over both sides of the plate. (just only answer Question 2)!!!arrow_forward
- At what maximum speed does a compressed air torpedo move, which expells 18 kg of air every second at a speed of 118 m/s? The force of water resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity and is equal to 480 N at a speed of 21 m/s. (The solutiom is 44 m/s)arrow_forwardExpress the angular momentum equation in scalar form about a specified axis of rotation for a fixed control volume for steady and uniform flow.arrow_forward1 atm = 2116 lb/ft2 = 1.01 × 105 N/m2. Consider the isentropic flow over an airfoil. The freestream conditions areT∞ = 245 K and p∞ = 4.35 × 104 N/m2. At a point on the airfoil, thepressure is 3.6 × 104 N/m2. Calculate the density at this point.arrow_forward
- 1.)A semi-cylindrical concrete structure having a radius of 5 m and length of 3 m is rested on ground. Wind (air having a density ρ=1,2 kg/m3 ) at a free-sream speed of 3 m/s with an atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa far upstream the structure blows over the structure. The air entrance to the structure is at ground level corresponding to the forward stagnation point . Since the magnitude of minimum pressure is acting on the top of the structure determine the magnitude of lift force due to the pressure difference in vertical direction .Assume flow potential ANSWER: 648 Narrow_forwardA 16-cm diameter horizontal water jet with a speed of Vj = 20 m/s relative to the ground is deflected by a 40° cone moving to the left at Vc = 10 m/s. Determine the external force, F, needed to maintain the motion of the cone. Disregard the gravity and surface shear effects and assume the crosssectional area of water jet normal to the direction of motion remains constant throughout the flow.arrow_forwardHow big is the viscous force acting on the 1 μm-radius droplet when it is moving with terminal velocity? On the 10 μm droplet?arrow_forward
