Fluid flows axially in the annular space between a cylinder and a concentric rod. The radius of the rod is r; and that of the cylinder is ro. Fluid motion in the annular space is driven by an axial pressure gradient dp/dz. The cylinder is maintained at uniform temperature To.

- Please help me with this fluid mechanics question! Thank you!! :) A 1967 Harley-Davidson Shovelhead motorcycle uses a ventruri-carburetor to mix air and fuel for combustion. The venturi reduces the pressure to draw fuel from a reservoir chamber and to mix with the airstream as shown in the figure. The energy loss of the metering line is given by hL= (K*V^2)/2where K = 6.0 and V is the fuel velocity in the metering line. Assume that the air is an ideal fluid (68°F). Calculate the mass flux of air and the mass flux of fuel. Hint: Assume the air intake velocity is negligible.arrow_forwardOil flows between two very long parallel plates, separated from H, with width b. The bottom plate moves with speed U and is isolated. The upper plate is at rest and receives heat from the environment at a rate equal to qs". Consider laminar flow, thermally developed. Due to the high viscosity of the fluid, viscous dissipation is relevant U isolada 1 - Estimate the velocity profile considering the null pressure gradient and determine the average speed. 2. Determine dissipation per volume unit. 3. Set mixing temperature and determine the mixing temperature variation over the plates.arrow_forwardA viscous and incompressible fluid with a density of p is flowing steadily between two parallel plates separated by a distance of 2h. At section 1, the velocity, U., is uniform, while the velocity distribution at section 2 is assumed to be linear. The flow is identical in all planes, which are parallel to the xy- plane. The pressures at sections 1 and 2 are p₁ and p₂, respectively. Determine a) the maximum velocity at section 2 and b) the drag force exerted on the plates.

- 5. A linear velocity profile is formed in a fluid between two plates as shown in the figure when one of the plates is moved parallel to the other and there is no externally imposed pressure gradient (i.e. there is no pump). If the top plate is travels at U = 0.3 m/s and the bottom plate is held fixed and the two plates are separated by a distance d = 0.3 m/s, derive an equation for the velocity profile u(y). Assume that the fluid in contact with either plate moves at the same speed as the plate (this is called the no-slip condition). U=0.3 m/s d=0.3 marrow_forwardAssume the temperature of the exhaust in an exhaust pipe can be approximated by T = To (1 + ae-bx) [1 + c cos(@t)], where To = 100 °C, a = 3, b = 0.03 m ¹, c = 0.066, and w = 100 rad/s. If the exhaust speed is a constant 3 m/s, determine the time rate of change of temperature of the fluid particles at (a) x = 0 and (b) x = 4 m when t = 0.

Velocity profile is the laminar and expressed as; U(x) = Umax (1-r/R?) Where R: radius of the tube, r: distance beginning from the center and Umax : maximum velocity (at the center). Drive the expression for the drag force per unit area applied to both plates by the flu id (F/A). If the drag force is 0.565 N, calculate the necessary velocity for the water at 20°C flow through the tube with the radius of 0.08 m and 15 m length (u:0.0010 kg/m. s). R -Umaxarrow_forward
- A constant-thickness film of viscous liquid (SG = 0.8, μ = 0.5 Pa-s) flows down an inclined plate an angle of 10⁰ as shown in the figure The velocity profile is given by the equation, u(y) = Cy(2h — y). If the value of his 5 cm, what is the value of the maximum velocity in m/s? NOTE: The pressure does not vary along the flow direction. u(y) Answer:arrow_forward3. Explain briefly what is meant by fully developed laminar flow. The velocity u at any radius r in fully developed laminar flow through a straight horizontal pipe of internal radius ro is given by u= (1/4µ)(ro2-r2)dp/dx dp/dx is the pressure gradient in the direction of flow and u is the dynamic viscosity. Show that the pressure drop over a length L is given by the following formula. Ap=32μLu/D² The wall skin friction coefficient is defined as C = 21/(pum²). Show that C= 16/Re where Re = pumD/μ and p is the density, um is the mean velocity and to is the wall shear stress.arrow_forward(a) A wing section with a chord of c and a span of b is mounted at zero angle of attack in a wind tunnel. A pitot probe is used to measure the velocity profile in the viscous region downstream of the wing section as shown in the figure. The measured velocity profile is u(z) = U∞ - (U/2) cos[TZ/(2w)] for -w ≤ z ≤w. Here, w = 0.02c. Assuming a constant pressure p = Poo along the streamlines (dashed lines in the figure) and across the wake where the velocity was measured, calculate the friction drag coefficient Cp, of the wing section.
