Question
Answer the following questions:
a. Air lows past an object and exits as a free jet as shown in the figure. Because of the obstruction,
the exit velocity is non-uniform with magnitude of 4 m/s from r = 0 to r=0.5 m and 12 m/s from
r = 0.5 m/s to r = 1.0 m. It is initially calculated that the average velocity is 10 m/s, using a
differential area, dA=2rrdr, what is the value of the momentum correction factor, B?
2-m-dia.
