Chapter 3, Problem 3.2P

Consider a venturi with a throat-to-inlet area ratio of 0.8, mounted on the side of an airplane fuselage. The airplane is in flight at standard sea level. If the static pressure at the throat is 2100 lb/ft 2 . calculate the velocity of the airplane.

Consider an airplane flying with a velocity of 60 ft/s at a standard sea level conditions. At a point on the wing, the airflow velocity is 70 ft/s. Calculate the pressure at this point.
A very popular toy on the market several years ago was the water rocket. Water (at 10°C) was loaded into a plastic rocket and pressurized with a hand pump. The rocket was released and would travel a considerable distance in the air. Assume that a water rocket has a mass of 50g and is charged with 100g of water. The pressure inside the rocket is 100kPa gage. The exit area is one-tenth of the chamber cross-sectional area. The inside diameter of the rocket is 5cm. Assume that Bernoulli’s equation is valid for the water flow inside the rocket. Neglecting air friction calculate the maximum velocity it will attain.
2. Oil (sg=0.90) is flowing at 150 L/min through a turbine. The pressure before the turbine is 750 kPa and after the turbine 150 kPa with an elevation between these two points of 2.3 m [ fluid entrance is on the high side ]. If the friction loss in the system is 5.10 N.m/N find (a) the power delivered to the turbine by the fluid and (b) If the mechanical efficiency of the turbine is 80 % find the power output from the turbine.
