The velocity field given in Problem 2.4 is called vortex flow, which will be discussed in Chapter 3. For vortex flow, calculate:
a. The time rate of change of the volume of a fluid element per unit volume.
b. The vorticity.
Hint: Again, for conveniences use polar coordinates.

- 55. Derive the relation for angular velocity in terms of the velocity components for fluid rotation in a two-dimensional flow field. [Hint: Use the schematic for ro- tation in Figure IIa.3.5 and find the angular velocity for line oa as @a = doddt. Substitute for da= dl,/dx and for dl, from dl, = (JV,/dx)dxdt. Do the same for line ob to find @p. The z-component of rotation vector is the average of @a and @p. Do the same for x- and y- components].arrow_forward(a) A model low speed centrifugal compressor (a “blower") runs at 430 rpm and delivers 10 m/s of air against a pressure head of 60 mm of water. If the pump efficiency is estimated to be 80%, how much power is required to drive the compressor? (b) A geometrically similar compressor is made with a diameter 1.8 times the size of the model and is required to work against a pressure head of 80 mm of water. Determine the operating speed and the power needed to drive the compressor assuming dynamically similar condi- tions apply.arrow_forward4. Consider steady flow of water through an axisymmetric garden hose nozzle (see Fig). Along the center line 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. Write an equation for centerline speed u(x), based on the parameters given here, from x=0 to x=L.

Evaluate the circulation around the unit square with corners at (x.y)= (1,1), (1,2), (2,2) and (2,1) for the value of A =0 3s-!.arrow_forwardIn your own words,a. Describe what is viscosity and explain why viscosity of fluid is related to Navier-Stokes equation.b. Describe what is vorticity and explain its relationship with circulation.c. Explain why the stream function ψ is restricted to 2-D flows and you have to use the velocity potential ζ to define 3-D flows.arrow_forwardA jet engine on a test stand directs a stream of hot exhaust gasses against a vemcal wall. All of the exhaust gas leaving the wall after impact is in the y-z plane (ie no "x" direction velocity). The mass rate is 200 kg/s and the velocity is 400 m/s.
