Chapter 10, Problem 1CP
Discuss how nondimensalizsionalization of the Navier-Stokes equation is helpful in obtaining approximate solutions. Give an example.
Expert Solution & Answer

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:
- Non-dimensionalization helps in reducing the complexity of any equation.
- It helps in removing the dimensions of the all the quantities present.
- The primary function is to make the dimension of the quantities present in Navier-Stokes equation unity.
- It calculates small quantities with respect to a large quantity.
- 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.
I need help with a MATLAB code. This code just keeps running and does not give me any plots. I even reduced the tolerance from 1e-9 to 1e-6. Can you help me fix this? Please make sure your solution runs.
