Chapter 1, Problem 23P

As described in Prob. 1.22, in addition to the downward force of gravity (weight) and drag, an object falling through a fluid is also subject to a buoyancy force that is proportional to the displaced volume. For example, for a sphere with diameter d ( m ) , the sphere's volume is V = π d 3 / 6 and its projected area is A = π d 2 / 4 . The buoyancy force can then be computed as F b = ρ V g . We neglected buoyancy in our derivation of Eq. (1.9) because it is relatively small for an object like a parachutist moving through air. However, for a more dense fluid like water, it becomes more prominent.

(a) Derive a differential equation in the same fashion as Eq. (1.9), but include the buoyancy force and represent the drag force as described in Prob. 1.21.

(b) Rewrite the differential equation from (a) for the special case of a sphere.

(c) Use the equation developed in (b) to compute the terminal velocity (i.e., for the steady-state case). Use the following parameter values for a sphere falling through water: sphere diameter = 1 cm, sphere density = 2700  kg/m 3 , water density = 1000  kg/m 3 , and C d = 0.47 .

(d) Use Euler's method with a step size of Δ t = 0.03125 s to numerically solve for the velocity from t = 0 to 0.25 s with an initial velocity of zero.

2 6. Modelling. Suppose that we have two tanks (A and B) between which a mixture of brine flows. Tank A contains 200 liters of water in which 50 kilograms of salt has been dissolved and Tank B contains 100 liters of pure water. Water containing 1kg of salt per liter is pumped into Tank A at the rate of 5 liters per minute. Brine mixture is pumped into Tank A from Tank B at the rate of 3 liters per minute and brine mixture is pumped from Tank A into Tank B at the rate of 8 liters per minute. Brine is drained from Tank B at a rate of 5 liters per minute. (a) Draw and carefully label a picture of the situation, including both tanks and the flow of brine between them.
