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).

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.

- The lift force of an aircraft will be studied in a cryogenic wind tunnel, in which nitrogen at low temperature (183 K) and high pressure (5 atm) is employed as the working fluid. 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_forwardTires are one of the most frequently encountered applications of the gas laws that we never think about. We fill our tires with air, or with nitrogen, but it always works out the same way. Enough gas goes in, the tire inflates, and then the pressure starts going up. In this assignment, we’ll be investigating the ways that the gas laws impact how we treat our tires. Q1. I have good information that in Fast 29, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) will need to refill a tire quickly during a dramatic moment. For this reason, he has a 3.00 L tank of compressed air that is under 2.7892*103 mmHg and is kept cool in dry ice at -35.0 °C. When Dom hooks his compressed air up to his completely empty 10.50 L tire at 39.2 °C and lets it run, what will his final tire pressure be, in atm? Assume all the air is transferred into the tire. Is his tire pressure above the 2.31 atm that he needs to save the planet/his family/his crew? Q2.
