The relationship of the power required by a propeller (show as the power number, on the ordinate) and the Reynolds number (abscissa) is shown in the following graph. For a propeller, the Reynolds number (Re) is written slightly differently as
where D is the blade diameter [meters] and n is the shaft speed [hertz]. The power number (Nρ) is given by the following, where P is the power required [watts].
Use the following chart to answer questions (a) through (d).
- a. If the Reynolds number is 500, what is the power number for a system described by curve A?
- b. If the power number (Nρ) is 30, what is the Reynolds number for a system described by curve A?
- c. If the Reynolds number is 4000, what is the power (P) required in units of watts at a shaft speed (n) of 0.03 hertz? Assume the system contains acetone, with a kinematic viscosity of 0.419 stokes. The density of acetone is 0.785 grams per cubic centimeters. Use curve B in the graph to determine your answer. (Hint: Use the Reynolds number of the system to first calculate the diameter, then find the power number, and then calculate the power.)
- d. If the power number (Nρ) is 5, what is the diameter (D) of the blade in units of centimeters at a shaft speed (n) of 0.02 hertz? Assume the system contains brine, with a kinematic viscosity of 0.0102 stokes. Use curve A in the graph to determine your answer. (Hint: Find the Reynolds number of the system first, and then calculate the diameter.)

During a steady flow process, the pressure of the working substance drops from 1,380 kpa to 138 kpa, the speed increases from 61 m/s to 305 m/s, the internal energy of the open system decreases 58.1 KJ/kg, and the specific volume increases from 0.0625 m3/kg to 0.5 m3/kg. No heat is transferred, determine the work in KW if the mass flow at the rate of 272.15 kg/hr.arrow_forwardFor the Following question Graph all 4 : [I just need all 4 graphs and please explain and make clean solution] Position vs time Velocity vs time Acceleration vs time Force vs time [For your convenience, I have solved the numerical solutions for the problem] (Please Look at the picture since it is much cleaner) Question : A 550 kilogram mass initially at rest acted upon by a force of F(t) = 50et Newtons.

Each block is identified with a number and a gold (Au) grade in g/t. As shown, most blocks contain non- valuable or zero ore-grade (G=0). However, the ore-grade of highlighted block #17 is G2= 1.4 g/t, and similarly the ore grades of blocks #28, #39, #50 and #61 are in turn: G3 = 1.2, G4 = 2.3, G5 = 2.8, and G6 = 2.9 g/t. Evaluate the mining methods (o/c or u/g) which should be selected based on economic considerations only.arrow_forward

Thank you!arrow_forwardSuppose you're converting a bill of materials for machining feedstock from the British gravitational (U.S. system) of units to International System (SI) units. Your goal is to have all of the material quantities in kilograms. Your bill of materials lists values for required weights of brass rod in pounds. To convert to these values to kilograms you first you divide by gravitational acceleration in feet per second squared to get a mass in slugs, then convert slugs to kilograms using standard conversion factors.
