Consider steady flow of air through the diffuser portion of a wind tunnel (Fig. P4-21). Along the centerline of the diffuser, the air speed decreases from uentranceto uexitas sketched. Measurements reveal that the centerline air speed decreases parabolically through the diffuser. Write an equation for centerline speed u(x), based on the parameters given here, from x=0 to x=L

- In the study of turbulent flow, turbulent viscous dissipation rate ? (rate of energy loss per unit mass) is known to be a function of length scale l and velocity scale u′ of the large-scale turbulent eddies. Using dimensional analysis (Buckingham pi and the method of repeating variables) and showing all of your work, generate an expression for ? as a function of l and u′.arrow_forwardDentrance x=0 uentrance FIGURE P4-21 u(x) lexit x = L Dexit 4-22 For the velocity field of Prob. 4-21, calculate the fluid acceleration along the diffuser centerline as a function of x and the given parameters. For L = 1.56 m, uentrance = 22.6 m/s, and exit = 17.5 m/s, calculate the acceleration at x = 0 and x = 1.0 m.

- Consider the pipe annulus sketched in fig. Assume that the pressure is constant everywhere (there is no forced pressure gradient driving the flow). However, let the inner cylinder be moving at steady velocity V to the right. The outer cylinder is stationary. (This is a kind of axisymmetric Couette flow.) Generate an expression for the x-component of velocity u as a function of r and the other parameters in the problem.arrow_forwardHow do you get from equation 3.1.1 to 3.1.5?

He assumedthat the energy released E , was a function of blast waveradius R , air density ρ, and time t . Arrange these variablesinto a single dimensionless group, which we may term theblast wave number .arrow_forwardA 1:30 model of a ship is made.
