A liquid delivery system is being designed such that ethylene glycol flows out of a hole in the bottom of a large tank, as in Fig. P7-100. The designers need to predict how long it will take for the ethylene glycol to completely drain. Since it would be very expensive to run tests with a full-scale prototype using ethylene glycol, they decide to build a one-quarter scale model for experimental testing, and they plan to use water as their test liquid. The model is geometrically similar to the prototype (Fig. P7-102). (a) The temperature of the ethylene glycol in the prototype tank is 60°C. at which

Outflow of Water Through a Hole (Torricelli's Law) This is another prototype engineering problem that leads to an ODE. It concerns the outflow of water from a cylindrical tank with a hole at the bottom. You are asked to find the height of the water in the tank at any time if the tank has diameter 2 m, the hole has diameter 1 cm, and the initial height of the water when the hole is opened is 2.25 m.

- The heat flux for stable film boiling on the outside of a horizontal cylinder or sphere of diameter D, in m, is given below. What should be the value of "n", for the equation above to be dimensionally consistent?

If the Weber number is dimensionless, what are the dimensions of the surface tension (omega)?arrow_forwardA- Womersley number (a) of a human aorta is 20 and for the rabbit aorta is 17, the blood density is approximately the same across the species.

- The true optionarrow_forwardOne of the conditions in using the Bernoulli equation is the requirement of inviscid flow. However there is no fluid with zero viscosity in the world except some peculiar fluid at very low temperature. Bernoulli equation or inviscid flow theory is still a very important branch of fluid dynamics for the following reasons: (i) (ii) There is wide region of flow where the velocity gradient is zero and so the viscous effect does not manifest itself, such as in external flow past an un- stalled aerofoil. The conservation of useful energy allows the conversion of kinetic and potential energy to pressure and hence pressure force acting normal to the control volume or system boundary even though the tangential friction stress is absent. It allows the estimation of losses in internal pipe flow.

Where the pipe roughness 0.00015 mm, liquid and gas viscosities are 0.52x10³ pa.s and 0.0133x10-³ pa.s.arrow_forward
- In CFD lingo, the stream function is often called a non-primitive variable, while velocity and pressure are called primitive variables. Why do you suppose this is the case?arrow_forwardAnswer the following question using the format given.arrow_forwardTopic: Heat transfer Completely solve and box the final answer. Water flows at 5m/s is passed through a tube of 2.5 cm diameter, it is found to be heated from 20degC to 60degC. The heating is achieved by condensing steam on the surface of the tube and subsequently the surface temperature of the tube is maintained at 90degC. Water properties are as follows: density=995kg/m3, kinematic viscosity=.657x10-6 m2/s, Pr=4.43, k=.628W/mK, cp=4178J/kgK. Determine the Reynolds number.arrow_forward
