Liquid flowing at high speed in a wide, horizontal open channel under some conditions can undergo a hydraulic jump, as shown. For a suitably chosen control volume, the flows entering and leaving the jump may be considered uniform with hydrostatic pressure distributions (see Example 4.7). Consider a channel of width w, with water flow at D1 = 0:6 m and V1 = 5 m/s. Show that in general,

- Water flows past a flat plate that has a length L = 5 m and a width w = 2 m, as shown in Figure Q4. The shear stress at the wall is given by Tw= μ du dy. When the flow is laminar the shear stress at the wall is given by the equation: Tw = 0.0644 pU 2 8 x Where p = 1000 kg/m3 is the water density and U∞ = 5 m/s is the velocity of the water. The height of the boundary layer is 5, and can be approximated by 8(x) = 5√ ux pU* The viscosity of water is μ = 1 mPa.s. a) Estimate the drag force on the plate. You may use the expression FD = | TwdA b) When the flow becomes turbulent, we can approximate the velocity gradient at the wall as constant, au ay = A. If the total drag force is 300 N, find A. c) When the fluid is heated to 900C, the density drops slightly and the viscosity decreases a lot, and engineers observe that the equation, Tw = 0.0644pU 2 6 x, becomes less accurate. Explain why this might occur (1-2 sentences). d) In order to visually examine a turbulent boundary layer, engineers…arrow_forwardWater flows inside a solid cylindrical pipe, which narrows as it goes up to a height h (see diagram below). The lower horizontal section has circular cross-sectional diameter d, whereas the upper horizontal section has diameter d/2. Let us denote A to be a point at the lower horizontal section and B to be a point at the upper horizontal section. The flow speed at A and B is uд and u, respectively. The pressure at A and B is PA and PB, respectively. РА UA Oom Ja d d/21 1 UB h (a) Assuming water to be incompressible, show that the flow speed at B is four times the flow speed at A. (b) Use Bernoulli's equation to find the drop in the water pressure from A to B. Express the result in terms of h, uд, the density of water p, and the acceleration of gravity g. (c) Above certain critical height h, vapour bubbles start to appear at the top horizontal section, which hinders water flow through the pipe. Explain why this happens.arrow_forwardThe pressure distribution on a object cross section is shown (assume width=1m), where flow is from left to right. What is CL (coefficient lif) of this object?
