20 ME303 Worksheet #6, March 7, 2014 Name 1. The water (density ρ=1000 kg/m 3 ) in this jet has a speed V 1 =60 m/s to the right and is deflected by a cone that is moving to the left with a speed of 5 m/s. The diameter of the jet is 10 cm. Determine the external horizontal force F needed to move the cone. Assume negligible friction between the water and the cone (or vane). Neglect gravity. Step 1. Start by drawing the cone and fluid. Show the control volume surrounding the cone and fluid. In your drawing, show all known parameters (i.e. fluid jet velocities, cone speed, flow direction, dimensions etc). Step 2. We now need to choose a reference frame. Let us choose a reference frame that is fixed to the moving cone. So draw X-Y axis on the cone or vane (in step 1). This reference frame makes the analysis simpler. Find the inlet jet velocity V in entering the control volume with respect to our reference frame. Remember our reference is moving, so find the velocity of the jet with respect to the moving cone or reference frame. V in = Tip 1. Assume that v 1 =v 2 =v 3. This assumption can be justified with the Bernoulli equation. In particular, assume inviscid flow and neglect elevation changes, and the Bernoulli equation can be used to prove that the velocity of the fluid jet is constant. 1

21 Step 3. Using Tip 1. Find outlet jet velocity V out exiting the control volume with respect to our reference frame. V out = Step 4. Calculate the inlet mass flow rate Step 5. In the force diagram (below figure), draw the control volume and label all the external forces acting on the control volume. Remember, you to include the external horizontal force F in the force diagram. = Force diagram Momentum diagram Step 6. For the momentum diagram (above figure), you need to know the magnitudes of momentum flow in and momentum flow out of the control volume. In our problem, we just need to calculate X- direction momentum flow in and momentum flow out. X-direction momentum flow in = = X-direction momentum flow out= = 2

22 Step 7. Now in the momentum diagram (previous page), show the momentum flow in and momentum flow out of control volume. Remember, momentum flow is a vector --- it has directionality. Step 8. Let s apply linear momentum equation by using the force diagram and momentum diagram (see figures on page 2). Usually we need to write momentum equation for X, Y, and Z directions. However, in this problem X-direction momentum equation will suffice to find the unknown external force F. X-direction momentum equation, Assume steady flow and write the x-direction momentum equation. The external horizontal force F is 3

Start by drawing the pipe bend and show the control volume surrounding the pipe bend. Show all known parameters (i.e. fluid jet velocities, dimensions, flow direction, section #, etc.). Step 2. We now need to choose a reference frame. Let us choose a reference frame that is fixed to the ground. So draw X-Y axis (in step 1). Step 3. Calculate the inlet mass flow rate. Step 4. Calculate the pressure force at sections 1 and 2, F 1 or F 2 = Pressure*Cross-sectional area F 1 = F 2 = 4

24 Step 5. In the force diagram (next page), draw the control volume and label all the external forces acting on the control volume. Remember, you should include the external horizontal force F, Pressure forces F 1, F 2 in the force diagram. = Force diagram Momentum diagram Step 6. For the momentum diagram (above figure), you need to know the magnitudes of momentum flow in and momentum flow out of the control volume. So, let us calculate the momentum flow in and momentum flow out. X-direction momentum flow in = = X-direction momentum flow out= = Step 7. Now in the momentum diagram (above figure), show the momentum flow in and momentum flow out of control volume. Remember, momentum flow is a vector --- it has directionality. Step 8. Let s apply linear momentum equation by using the force diagram and momentum diagram (see above figures). Usually we need to write momentum equation for X, Y, and Z directions. However, in this problem X-direction momentum equation will suffice to find the unknown external force F.

26 ME303 Worksheet #7, March 28, 2014 Name USE TABLE 8.3 (on the last page of this worksheet) to look at definitions of Re,We, M etc 1. Oil with a kinematic viscosity of m 2 /s flows through a smooth pipe 12 cm in diameter at 2.3 m/s. What velocity should water have at 20 C in a smooth pipe 5 cm in diameter to be dynamically similar? Step 1. Start by looking at π-groups (Re, M, Fr, We, C F, C f, C p, S t ) and pick the one that is appropriate. Begin by eliminating each π-group that has no relevance with the problem. For example, ask yourselves, do we have free surface effects? If yes, then use We #; or else try other π-groups. Please note: For most fluid problems consider using Re # first. So what other π-groups do you think will be relevant for flow through a pipe? HINT: We have, no compressibility effects, no free-surface effects, no gravitation effects, no oscillation flows in the pipe. Appropriate π-group is: Step 2. Now equate the π-group for model and prototype that satisfies dynamic similitude. Substitute the given values and find the model velocity. π model = π prototype Model velocity is 1

27 2. A spherical balloon that is to be used in air at 60 F and atmospheric pressure is tested by towing a 1/10 scale model in a lake. The model is 2 ft in diameter, and a drag of 10 lbf is measured when the model is being towed in deep water at 5 ft/s. What drag (in pounds force) can be expected for the prototype in air under dynamically similar conditions? Assume that the water temperature is 60 F. Step 1. Start by looking at π-groups (Re, M, Fr, We, C F, C f, C p, S t ) and pick the one that is appropriate. Begin by eliminating each π-group that has no relevance with the problem. For example, ask yourselves, do we have free surface effects? If yes, then use We #; or else try other π-groups. Please note: For most fluid problems consider using Re # first. So what other π-groups do you think will be relevant for the spherical balloon testing? HINT: We have, no compressibility effects, no free-surface effects, no gravitation effects, no oscillation flows in the pipe. Appropriate π-groups are: Step 2. Now equate the Re# for model and prototype that satisfies dynamic similitude, from where you find velocity ratio V p /V m. Re model = Re prototype The velocity ratio V p /V m = 2

28 Step 3. Now to find the drag force on the prototype, look for a π-group that has force term in it. The appropriate π-group is: Step 4. Now equate the π-group (step 3) for model and prototype that satisfies dynamic similitude, from where you find force on prototype F p. π model = π prototype The value of force on prototype F p is 3. A 60 cm valve is designed for control of flow in a petroleum pipeline. A 1/3 scale model of the full size valve is to be tested with water in the laboratory. If the prototype flow rate is to be 0.5 m 3 /s, what flow rate should be established in the laboratory test for dynamic similitude to be established? Also the pressure coefficient C p in the model is found to be 1.07, what will be the corresponding C p in the full-scale valve? The relevant fluid properties for the petroleum are S=0.82 and μ= N-s/m 2. The viscosity of water is N-s/m 2. Step 1. Start by looking at π-groups (Re, M, Fr, We, C F, C f, C p, S t ) and pick the one that is appropriate. Begin by eliminating each π-group that has no relevance with the problem. For example, ask yourselves, do we have free surface effects? If yes, then use We #; or else try other π-groups. Please note: For most fluid problems consider using Re # first. So what other π-groups do you think will be relevant for the petroleum pipe? HINT: We have, no compressibility effects, no free-surface effects, no gravitation effects, no oscillation flows in the petroleum pipe. Appropriate π-group is: 3

29 Step 2. Now equate the π-group for model and full-scale that satisfies dynamic similitude, from where you find velocity ratio V m /V p. π model = π full-scale The velocity ratio V p /V m = Step 3. Now that you know the velocity ratio V p /V m,, you can find the volume flow rate ratio Q p /Q m. Use volume flow rate Q=Velocity Cross-sectional area The volume flow rate ratio Q p /Q m = Step 4. 4

30 Using the statement in the box above, what will be the C p for full-scale? C p for full-scale is 5

31 ME303 Worksheet #8, April 18, 2014 Name 1. As shown, a round tube (microchannel) of diameter 0.5 mm and length 750 mm is connected to plenum. A fan produces a negative gage pressure of -1.5 inch H 2 O in the plenum and draws air (20 C) into the microchannel. What is the mean velocity of air in the microchannel? Assume that the only head loss is in the tube. Step 1. Start by drawing a control volume (below figure) enclosing two points where you know the information (Point 1) and where you want to find the information (Point 2). HINT: Point 1 could be near the mouth of the tube (entrance) where the air is at atmospheric pressure with negligible velocity. Point 2 could be at the exit of the tube where the pressure is known to be -1.5 inch H 2 0 while the velocity is unknown. Step 2. Now, plan on applying the energy balance equation to the control volume. For this, choose a reference line (or datum). 1 (Energy balance equation)

32 Information at Point 1 Gage Pressure, P 1 = Conversion 1 inch water = Pa In SI units, Gage Pressure, P 2 = Velocity, V 1 = Elevation, z 1 = Ask yourself is there any pump between points 1 and 2? Pump head, h p = Information at Point 2 Gage Pressure, P 2 = In SI units, Gage Pressure, P 2 = Velocity, V 2 = Elevation, z 2 = Ask yourself is there any turbine between points 1 and 2? Turbine head, h t = The problem states that the head loss h L is only due to the tube. So the head loss h L =h f Step 3. Let us assume the flow in the tube is laminar, so take α = 2. Now substitute the known values and simplify the energy equation. NOTE: Upon simplifying the energy equation, it will end being up a quadratic equation in V 2! Solve the quadratic equation to find the mean velocity of air in the microchannel, V 2. 2

33 Mean velocity of air in the microchannel V 2 = Step 4. Since we have assumed the flow is laminar in step 2, this assumption has to be verified. So, calculate the Reynolds number in the microchannel. 3

34 Re = So therefore the assumption that the flow is laminar is VALID / INVALID (circle the correct option) If Re <2000, the flow is laminar. If Re >3000, the flow is turbulent. Step 5. If the flow is VALID, then we are finished with the problem. If NOT, we have to go back the Step 2 and solve without making assumptions. 2. The sketch shows a test of an electrostatic air filter. The pressure drop for the filter is 3 inches of water when the airspeed is 10 m/s. What is the minor loss coefficient (K) for the filter? Assume air properties at 20 C. Step 1. Start by drawing a control volume (figure on next page) enclosing two points where you know the information (Point 1) and where you want to find the information (Point 2). HINT: Point 1 could be near the upstream of air flow where information is known while Point 2 could be where the information is unknown. For instance, Point 1 could be at A and Point 2 could be at B. Ensure the control volume you draw will surround the electrostatic filter. 4

35 Step 2. Now, plan on applying the energy balance equation to the control volume. For this, choose a reference line (or datum). (Energy balance equation) Note: You may not know the absolute/ gage pressures at A and B but all we need is the difference of pressure at these two points which is given in the problem. Information at Point 1 Velocity, V 1 = Elevation, z 1 = Ask yourself is there any pump between points 1 and 2? Pump head, h p = Information at Point 2 By applying continuity equation between Points 1 and 2 determine the Velocity V 2. A 1 V 1 =A 2 V 2 (where, A is cross-sectional area) Velocity, V 2 = 5

36 Elevation, z 2 = Ask yourself is there any turbine between Points 1 and 2? Turbine head, h t = Now, calculate the pressure difference between Points 1 and 2, ΔP = P 1 - P 2 = In SI units, Pressure, ΔP = Step 3. Now substitute the known values and simplify the energy equation. Take α 1 = α 2. NOTE: Use SI units. Upon simplifying the value of h L = Step 4. Now to determine the value of the minor loss coefficient (K), use the definition of head loss. We know the value of h L from Step 3. So substitute the values of V, g, and h L to obtain the value of K. 6

37 The minor loss coefficient (K) is 7

38 ME303 Worksheet #9, April 25, 2014 Name 1. How much power is required to move a spherical-shaped submarine of diameter 1.5 m through seawater at a speed of 10 knots? Assume the submarine is fully submerged. Assume all power is being used to overcome drag. Step 1. Start by calculating the Reynolds number. Re=VD/ν Unit Conversion: 1 knot= m/s Step 2. Now, use a correlation to estimate the drag coefficient C D of the submarine. As the submarine is spherical-shaped, use correlation for a sphere. One relevant correlation is given by Clift and Gauvin as shown below. Drag coefficient, C D = Step 3. Now, to estimate drag force we need to first find the reference area (A). In this situation, we take the projected area as reference area (A). What is the projected area for a sphere? Projected area, A = 1

39 Step 4. Using the drag force expression find the force needed to overcome the drag. Drag force, F D =, where V o is the free-stream velocity. Drag force, F D = Step 5. Using the power equation, Power= Force Velocity, estimate the power needed to overcome drag. Ensure your final answer is in kw. Power = 2. Determine the lift of a baseball when pitched at a speed of 38 m/s and with a spin rate of 35 rps. Also determine how much the ball deflects from its original path in time t=0.5 s. Take the circumference and mass of ball to be 0.23 m and 0.15 kg respectively. Assume the axis of rotation is vertical. NOTE: This plot valid for rotating sphere. Step 1. Start by determining the rotational parameter defined by rω/v o. Ensure the values of r, ω (radian/s), and V o are in SI units. Angular velocity, ω (in radian/s) = 2

40 Rotational parameter= rω/v o = Step 2. For the calculated rotational parameter, determine the value of lift coefficient C L using the chart (previous page). Studies have shown that the C L for baseball is three times of C L obtained from the chart! Coefficient of lift for the baseball, C L = Step 3. Now calculate the lift force F L given by, where V o is the free-stream velocity, and A is the projected area of the ball. Lift force, F L = Step 4. Now find the acceleration of the ball due to lift force. [HINT: Use Newton s second law of motion.] Acceleration, a = Step 5. To estimate deflection, use kinematic equation for an accelerated body, X= ut +0.5at 2 [NOTE: Here we have zero initial velocity in the direction of lift, hence u=0] Deflection, X= 3
