A small three (3) blade turbine with 10 meter long blades is shut down due to wind speeds being
35 m/s. The turbine has a brake on the low speed shaft rotor to keep the rotor from spinning in
these circumstances. However, a maintenance man accidentally sets the blades to have an
angle of attack of 10 degrees against the incoming wind when the rotor is facing into the wind.
The blades have a constant chord of 0.5 meters, and have CI = 2TTA where a is measure in
radians. Assume also that the air density is 1.25 kg/m³. Approximately how much torque must
the brake restrain?
At what maximum speed does a compressed air torpedo move, which expells 18 kg of air every second at a speed of 118 m/s? The force of water resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity and is equal to 480 N at a speed of 21 m/s. (The solutiom is 44 m/s)
Two uniform parts of a homogeneous cylinder with a diameter
of R = 0.2m and a mass of m lkg moved as shown in the
figure and then collided head-on and stuck to form a cylinder
and continued its movement by rotating with o = 10 rad/s.
Which of the following choices is the final velocity vector and
energy loss of the cylinder? (1linder
= MR?)

EXAMPLE 6-3 The Force to Hold a Reversing Elbow in Place The deflector elbow in Example 6-2 is replaced by a reversing elbow such that the fluid makes a 180° U-turn before it is discharged, as shown in Fig. 6-21. The elevation difference between the centers of the inlet and the exit sections is still 0.3 m. Determine the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place. SOLUTION The inlet and the outlet velocities and the pressure at the inlet of the elbow remain the same, but the vertical component of the anchoring force at the connection of the elbow to the pipe is zero in this case (FR = 0) since there is no other force or momentum flux in the vertical direction (we are neglecting the weight of the elbow and the water). The horizontal com- ponent of the anchoring force is determined from the momentum equation written in the x-direction. Noting that the outlet…arrow_forward
