ICA 10-5
The worksheet shown here was designed to calculate the total pressure felt by an object submerged in a fluid as a function of the depth to which the object is submerged. The user will enter the surface pressure (in units of atmospheres), specific gravity of the fluid, and the gravity of the planet (in units of meters per second squared). All user input is shown in red. The worksheet will calculate the surface pressure in units of pascals, the density of the fluid in kilograms per cubic meter, and depth in units of feet. All conversions are shown in orange. Finally, the worksheet will calculate the total pressure in units of atmospheres.

- The average heat transfer coefficent for airflow over an odd shaped body is to be determined by mass transfer measurements and using the Chilton-Colburn analogy btwn heat and mass transfer. The experiemnt is conducted by blowing dry air at 1 atm at a free-stream velocity of 2 m/s over a body covered with a layer of naphthalene. The surface area of the body is .75 m^2, and it is observed that 100 g of maphthalene has sublimated in 45 min. During the experiemnt, both the body and the air were kep at 25oC, at which the vapor pressure and mass diffusivity of naphthalene are 11 Pa and Dab=0.61*10^-5 m^2/s respectively. Determine the heat transfer coefficent under the same flow conditions over the same geometry.arrow_forwardAuto Controls Design a PID controller for thefollowing system so that the modified system satisfies the followingspecifications : 1. settling time ,ts = 1.96 s and % Overshoot Mp = 70.7 % Assume a non-dominant pole at s = -15 to solve the problem The plot the compensated andThen plot the uncompensated system in MATLAB. what can you see from the plot ? what is your observation ?arrow_forwardAuto Controls The figure is a schematic diagram of an aircraft elevator control system.
