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. 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 sampling). However, if the applied suction is too large, as sketched in Fig, the air speed through the probe is greater than that of the airstream (super iso kinetic sampling). For simplicity consider a two-dimensional case in which the sampling probe height is h = 4.58 mm and its width is W = 39.5 mm. The values of the stream function corresponding to the lower and upper dividing streamlines are ?l = 0.093 m2/s and ?u = 0.150 m2/s, respectively. Calculate the volume flow rate through the probe (in units of m3/s) and the average speed of the air sucked through the probe.
Measurements at a certain point of a 1 point
pipe have been done where the
following parameters were recorded:
Fluid of density = 887 kg/m3, Fluid
velocity = 4 m/s, Pressure= 11.3 KN/m2
If the total energy per unit weight at
this point = 32 m, then the potential
energy is:
Zero m
10 m
20 m
30 m
The differential equation for small-amplitude vibrations
y(r, f) of a simple beam is given by
a*y
+ E = 0
ax
pA
where p = beam material density
A = cross-sectional area
I= area moment of inertia
E = Young's modulus
Use only the quantities p, E, and A to nondimensionalize y, x,
and t, and rewrite the differential equation in dimensionless
form. Do any parameters remain? Could they be removed
by further manipulation of the variables?
