Explanation Given information: The relative speed of the expelled fuel is u . The speed of the plane is v . Calculation: Consider the thrust force is denoted by F and mass flow rate is denoted by d m d t . Calculate the absolute velocity of the exhaust ( v e ) using the relation: v e = u − v Show the expression for the thrust force as follows: F = ( Mass flow rate × Absolute velocity of the exhaust ) = d m d t × ( u − v ) Calculate the power ( P 1 ) of the thrust force as using the relation: P 1 = F v Substitute d m d t × ( u − v ) for F . P 1 = d m d t × ( u − v ) v The power P 1 is called the useful power. Calculate the power ( P 2 ) associated with the exhaust as follows: P 2 = ( Kinetic Energy of Exhaust Time Taken ) = ( 1 2 ( Δ m ) v e 2 Δ t ) ≈ 1 2 d m d t v e 2 Substitute ( u − v ) for v e . P 2 = ( Kinetic Energy of Exhaust Time Taken ) = ( 1 2 ( Δ m ) v e 2 Δ t ) ≈ 1 2 d m d t ( u − v ) 2 Calculate the total amount ( P ) of power supplied by the engine using the relation: P = P 1 + P 2 (1) Substitute d m d t × ( u − v ) v for P 1 and 1 2 d m d t ( u − v ) 2 for P 2 in Equation (1)

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

A helicopter flying with a velocity of 160km/h at elevation 500m above sea level dropped supplies to hit the barracks situated at elevation 200m above sea level. Determine the distance, in meters, from the barracks the supplies should be dropped so that they will fall within the barracks site.

An airplane has a mass of 25 Mg and its engines develop a total thrust of 40 kN during take-off. If the drag D exerted on the plane has a magnitude D= 2.25 v2, where is expressed in meters per second and D in newtons, and if the plane becomes airborne at a speed of 240 km/h, determine the length of runway required for the plane to take off.

Determine the linear momentum of a person whose mass is 80 kg and who is running at a rate of 3 m/s. Compare it to the momentum of a car that has a mass of 2000 kg and is moving at a rate of 30 m/s in the same direction as the person.
