- #01: Explain the following terms in your own words. a) Aerodynamics. b) Mach Number. c) Sub-Sonic. d) Angle of Attack. e) Thrust. f) Chord Line. g) Drag Coefficient. h) Pitch Moment. i) Wind Tunnel. j) Skin Drag.arrow_forwardConsider the following equation. All three of the terms in parentheses are dimensionless groups. Because kC is difficult to determine directly, the other variables are measured and kC is calculated from the given equation. What is the estimated value of kC? What are the units of kC? Show your work. The following values were measured: D = 8.0 mm, DAB = 0.475 cm2/s, μ = 1.12 x 10–3 N-s/m2, ρ = 1.00 x 10–3 g/cm3, v = 15.0 m/s. Note: Given Equation attached belowarrow_forwardIn the United States, electricity is sold using the SI units of kilowatt (kW) or megawatt (MW), and fuel for power generation stations is generally purchased using English units, e.g., British thermal unit (Btu), gallon (gal), and ton. An industrial power plant has an average annual load of 100 MW (electrical). If the overall thermal efficiency is 33% (based on HHV), what is the annual cost of fuel if the plant is fired with (a) natural gas, (b) No. 2 fuel oil, and (c) bituminous coal? Use the data from Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. Assume the cost of natural gas is $5/million Btu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, and the cost of bituminous coal is $60/ton (1 ton = 2000 lbm)arrow_forward
- The amount of time it takes for a pendulum to swing “to-and-fro” through one complete cycle is called the “period” and is calculated using the following equation: where T = period in seconds, I = mass moment of inertia, m = mass of pendulum in kilograms g = gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s2, h = effective length of pendulum in meters What is the appropriate unit for I if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units? Please show all of your work.arrow_forwardThe Ideal gas law shows the relationship between some common properties of ideal gases and is written as PV = nRT. P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles of ideal Gas, R = General gas constant = 8.314 kJ/(kmol.K) and T = absolute temperature. 5 mol ideal gas at 22°C is placed in a cube with edge lengths of 0.750 meters. Calculate the pressure of the Ideal gas as [Pa].arrow_forward1. Energy consumption in a country from 2001 to 2011 increased from 1041.3 million to 1526.1 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent). If the high calorific value (HHV) of the oil is 141,000 kJ/gallon what is the increase in energy consumption over 10 years in Joule units. What is the rate of energy consumption per year? 2. Based on data on the rate of energy consumption per year from question no. 1, if the growth rate energy 2.5% per year, calculate the doubling time (td) and what is the approximate rate of energy growth in 2021.arrow_forward
- Process Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers , please help in this Question , thanks.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. Group of answer choices True Falsearrow_forwardIn the quadratic equation which is homogeneous,a⋅x2+b⋅x+c=0a⋅x2+b⋅x+c=0xx represents a time, cc represents a linear velocity.
