- Important variables in a particular water machine are: Fluid density (ρ), impeller angular velocity (ω), impeller diameter (D), volume flow rate (), fluid viscosity (µ), head (gH). In fact, (gH) shows the energy that the fluid unit mass receives from or gives to the machine, independent of gravitational acceleration (g). Therefore, gH value is used instead of H. Important sizes in terms of the operation of the water machine are power (P), (gH) and efficiency ( h). Derive dimensionless numbers by typing these two parameters based on the above variables and applying Buckingham's p method (repeating variables method).arrow_forwardFluid mechanics theory The power input P to a centrifugal pump is a function of the volume flow Q, impeller diameter D, rotational rate ω, and the density ρ and viscosity μ of the fluid. Determine the three dimensionless numbers. Use M, L, T as your primary dimensions and ω, ρ and D as repeatingvariables.arrow_forward#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_forward

The lift force (F) is known to be a function of the wing span (w), the density of fluid (ρ), the speed of the aircraft (V), the viscosity of fluid (μ), and the speed of sound (c). a. Use dimensional analysis to develop a suitable set of dimensionless terms. data : see picturearrow_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_forward
- Atmospheric pressure can be reported in several ways. At sea level the average atmospheric pressure is 15 lbs/sq in, or 101.3 kPa, or 760 mm Hg, or 1 atmosphere. Since all of these are equal, you can easily convert from one to the other. For example, if your tire pressure is 32.0 lbs/square inch, you can determine the kilopascals in the following manner: 32.0 lb/sq in X 101.3 kPa / 15 lbs/sq in = 216 kPa. Now, find the pressure in mm Hg of a container that has a pressure of 9.92 atm. mm Hgarrow_forwardThe 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?
