To determine

The advantages of solving Navier Strokes equation using non-dimensionalization.

Explanation of Solution

Non-dimensionalization of Navier-Stokes equation helps in obtaining approximate solutions. This can be explained from below mentioned points:

  1. Non-dimensionalization helps in reducing the complexity of any equation.
  2. It helps in removing the dimensions of the all the quantities present.
  3. The primary function is to make the dimension of the quantities present in Navier-Stokes equation unity.
  4. It calculates small quantities with respect to a large quantity.
  5. For example- If the value of Strouhal number is less with respect to Reynolds number, we can ignore the term containing Strouhal number whereas the respective value of Reynolds number must retain.

A boiler with 80% efficiency produces steam at 40bar and 500 C at a rate of 1.128kg/s. The temperature of the feed water is raised from 25 C to 125 C in the economizer and the ambient air is drawn to the boiler at a rate of 2.70 kg/s at 16 C. The flue gases leave the chimney at rate of 3 kg/s at 150 C with specific heat of 1.01 kJ/kg.K. The dryness fraction of steam collected in the steam drum is 0.95. 1- Determine the heat value of the fuel. 2- The equivalence evaporation. 3- Draw the heat balance sheet.
A rotating shaft is made of 42 mm by 4 mm thick cold-drawn round steel tubing and has a 6 mm diameter hole drilled transversely through it. The shaft is subjected to a pulsating torque fluctuating from 20 to 160 Nm and a completely reversed bending moment of 200 Nm. The steel tubing has a minimum strength of Sut = 410 MPa (60 ksi). The static stress-concentration factor for the hole is 2.4 for bending and 1.9 for torsion. The maximum operating temperature is 400˚C and a reliability of 99.9% is to be assumed. Find the factor of safety for infinite life using the modified Goodman failure criterion.
