Recently a YouTube video surfaced showing a person using a leaf blower to propel themselves in a wheeled mop bucket. A typical leaf blower discharges air (0= 2.37 x 10 slugs/ft) from the nozzle with a velocity of 175 mph (1 mile = 5280 feet) and a flow rate of 385 ft/min. If the rolling friction (i.e. resistance) on the mop bucket (with rider) is taken to be approximately 10 pounds is the YouTube video possible? %3D NOZZLE AIR OUT AIR IN

Water is provided at a rate of 0.1 L/s at 200°C from a faucet to the hose with nozzle. The hose is approximately 25 centimeters in diameter. When she turned on the power washer's motor, a jet of water with a velocity of 50 m/s ejected at a height of up to 5 m. Around 10% of the power input is transferred as heat from the motor to the surroundings. In kW, what is the power input? Assume a change in enthalpy of 12.54 kJ/kg for the water.
A fluid enters a pipe at speed v1=0.1 m/s. the diameter of the tube is d=200mm and the fluid flowing through the pipe is mercury with a specific gravity of 13.6. the mass flow rate is
1. A given pipe first carries water and then carries air at 15°C and atmospheric pressure. What is the ratio of the mass discharge rates and the volume discharge rates, if the friction factors were the same for these two flows? 2. Two horizontal pipes of the same length and relative roughness carry air and water, respectively, at 60°F. The velocities are such that the Reynolds numbers and pressure drops for each pipe are the same. Find the ratio of the average air velocity to water velocity.
• Example: A pitot-static probe connected to a water manometer is used to measure the velocity of air. If the deflection (the vertical distance between the fluid levels in the two arms) is 7.3 cm. Determine the air velocity. Take the density of air to be 1.25 kg/m3 .
A thin disc with mass 0.018 kg is kept balanced by a jet of air. The diameter of the jet at the nozzle exit is 5 mm. Find the air jet velocity in m/s. Please note that the only forces involved are the weight of the disc and the force from the air jet (the two are balanced). Use the air density of 1.07 kg/m^3 , g = 9.81 m/s^2 and the correction factor beta of 1
In Figure 1, a reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 18 kg/s in a horizontal pipe upward 40o while accelerating. The elbow discharge water into the atmosphere. The cross sectional area of the elbow is 120 cm2 at the inlet and 10 cm2 at the outlet. The elevation difference between the centers of the outlet and the inlet is 50 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. If the density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and momentum-flux correction factor is 1.03, determine: - The velocity of water at the inlet and outlet and - The gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow
By using different angled blades in the construction of a torque converter it will have the effect of changing the direction of fluid flow, decreasing the speed of flow but increasing the force. Drag text boxes to label the main parts of a torque converter: Impeller (pump) Turbine Stator
A pump draws water from a reservoir and conveys it to another reservoir 30 m above. The suction pipe is 100 mm in diameter and 10 m long while the delivery pipe is 100 mm in diamter and 150 m long. if the the velocity in the pipe is 3 m/s, the friction factor of the pipe 0.008, and the pump and motor efficiencies are 85 % and 92 %, respectively. Assume height of pump/motor negliglible. Q1. Calculate the gauge pressure at the pump's inlet (at C) (kN/m2) Q2. Calculate the gauge pressure at the pump's outlet (at D) (kN/m2) Q3.

Consider two identical wind turbines with a hub height of 40 m, one located in flat agricultural land and one located above a forest. What is the relative output power for the two turbines if the wind velocity is 10 m/s at a height of 100 m in both cases? Pagricultural/Pforest = ?
a. Calculate the mass flow rate in lb/min. b. Calculate the speed at section 2 in ft/min or fpm
This is from Chapter 10 of Sustainable Energy second edition by Richard Dunlap Two locations have the same average wind velocity. Location A has a constant wind velocity of 10 m/s, while Location B has a wind velocity of 5 m/s for 12 hours per day and a wind velocity of 15 m/s for 12 hours per day. Compare the total energy produced per day for identical wind turbines at the two locations. The energy is given by the formula E = 0.5*(air density)*(efficiency)*velocity^3*(Turbine area)*time. Keep the answer in terms of (efficiency)*(Area). **Also is v average velocity or regular, non-average velocity?***
