If the fluids are approximately incompressible, how much air in N/h is passing through the vent? In which direction?

- . Indiana Jones needs to ascend a high-rise building. There is a large hose filled with pressurized water hanging down from the building top. He builds a square platform and mounts four 4-cm-diamter nozzles pointing down at each corner. By connecting hose branches, a water jet can be produced from each nozzle. Jones, the platform, and the nozzles have a combined mass of 150 kg. Determine the minimum water jet velocity needed to raise the system.arrow_forwardPlease helparrow_forwardAir flows steadily at a pressure of 105 kPa at a speed of 0.1m / s and a temperature of 300K in a duct with a diameter of 10 cm.

Pressure at the suction is 200 Pa below the atmospheric pressure, while 0.320 kPa at the exit. The fan delivers 500 m³/h of air and uses 0.08 kW of power, running at 1000 rpm.

In engine testing, pressure is usually expressed in gauge pressure. At the engine inlet, air is steadily introduced, and its cross-sectional area is 1.2 m².

- A horizontal fan (such as that shown in example 5.24) pulls in stagnant air (ie. basically stationary air) atatmospheric pressure; the air approaches the fan outlet with speed 44 ft/sec (ie. 30 mph) and with static pressure 0.3 psi. The air flowing through the fan can be assumed to have a constant density of 2.4*10-3 slug/ft3. The air losses due to friction are 0.1 psi (or 6000 ft-lb/slug of air passing from the fan inlet to the outlet). a) Determine the shaft work in ft-lb/slug b) If the fan outlet area is 2 ft2, determine the rate of work on the air.arrow_forwardA jet of water with a velocity of 30 m/s impinges on a series of smooth vanes, moving with a velocity of 12 m/s, at an angle of 30° to the direction of motion of vanes.
