In the field of air pollution control, one often needs to sample the quality of a moving airstream. In such measurements a sampling probe is aligned with the flow as sketched in Fig. 9-51. A suction pump draws air through the probe at volume flow rate V as sketched. For accurate sampling, the air speed through the probe should be the same as that of the airstream (isokinetic samp ling). However if the applied suction is too large, as sketched in Fig. 9-51, the air speed through the probe is greater than that of the airstream (superisokinetic sampling). For simplicity consider a two-dimensional case in which the sampling probe height is h = 4.58 mm and its width (into the page of Fig. 9-51)is W= 39.5 mm. The values of the stream function corresponding to the lower and upper dividing streamlines are

- Topic: Heat transfer Completely solve and box the final answer. A 20degC water flows to 50cmx60cm flat plate with velocity of 6m/s . The flat plate surface temperature is maintained at 40deg C. The water flows parallel to the 50cm side of the plate. If the kinematic viscosity of water is 78x10-8 m2/s, What is the local heat flux (Q/A) at the end of the plate (k=0.72 W/m deg C, Re=3840000, and Pr=0.7)?arrow_forwardHenri Darcy, a French engineer, proposed that the pressuredrop ∆ p for fl ow at velocity V through a tube of length Lcould be correlated in the form ∆p ___________ = α LV2 ρ If Darcy’s formulation is consistent, what are the dimensionsof the coefficient α ?arrow_forwardAn air-hockey puck has a mass of 50 g and is 9 cm in diameter.When placed on the air table, a 20 °C air film, of0.12-mm thickness, forms under the puck.

- If the hematocrit of John's blood wereto change from 42% to 55% and at the same time the diameter of one ofJohn's vessels were to decrease by 1%. Using Poisselle's equation, by how much(and in what direction) would John's blood pressure have to change inorder to maintain the same volume flow rate?arrow_forwardTo good approximation, the thermal conductivity k of a gasdepends only on the density ρ ,mean free path l , gas constant R , and absolute temperatureT . For air at 20 8 C and 1 atm, k ≈0.026 W/(m.K) and l ≈6.5 E-8 m. Use this information to determine k for hydrogenat 20 ° C and 1 atm if l ≈ 1.2 E-7 m.arrow_forwardIs the Lagrangian method of fluid flow analysis more similar to study of a system or a control volume?
