Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 46P
On a cruise ship, passengers complain about the noise emanating from the ship’s propellers (probably due to turbulent flow effects between the propeller and the ship). You have been hired to find out the source of this noise. You will study the flow pattern around the propellers and have decided to use a 1:9-scale water tank. If the ship’s propellers rotate at 100 rpm, estimate the model propeller rotation speed if (a) the Froude number or (b) the Reynolds number is the governing dimensionless group. Which is most likely to lead to the best modeling?

- A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 95 (m), and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.440 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at T = 15°C.

- A graduating engineering student opted to choose a thesis topic which involves the study of fluid flow. In his experimental setup, he used a circular tube in order to analyze the pressure drop (ΔP). During the preparation for the actual experimentation, he found out that the parameters involved were tube length (l), hydraulic diameter (d), surface roughness (e), with fluid of density (ρ) and viscosity (μ) moving with average velocity (v). Due to his insufficient knowledge on fluid mechanics, he approached you and asked for helped as someone who passed the course. In order to prove your knowledge gained, you now need to obtain an expression in non-dimensional form in order to analyze the relationship among the parameters involved. *surface roughness is usually measured in terms of micro-inches.arrow_forwardI need help correcting this problem (incorrect attempts are attached).

- Task 1 (d) The force, F, of a turbine generator is a function of density p, area A and velocity v. By assuming F = apª A® vc and dimensional homogeneity, find a, b and c and express F in terms of p, A and v. (a, a, b and c are real numbers). Make the following assumptions to determine the dimensionless parameter: F = 1k N if the scalar values of pAv= 1milli. (e) The dynamic coefficient of viscosity µ (viscosity of a fluid) is found from the formula: µAv F = Fis the force exerted on the liquid, A is the cross sectional area of the path, v is the fluid velocity and l is the distance travelled by the fluid. Using dimensional analysis techniques, determine the equation that governs µ and its dimensions using the results of (b) and the equation in c, clearly showing all steps in the dimensional analysis.arrow_forwardFluidarrow_forwardFluid Mechanics Problem: Assume all fluids are 20oC.arrow_forward
