A flow rate of 0:18 m3/s of water at 20°C discharges from a 0.3 m pipe through a 0.15 m nozzle into the atmosphere. The axial force component exerted by water on the nozzle is 3 kN. If frictional effects may be ignored, what corresponding force will be exerted on a 4:1 prototype of nozzle and pipe discharging 1:13 m3/s of air at 101.4 kPa and 15°C to the atmosphere? If frictional effects are included, the axial force component is 3.56 kN. What flow rate of air is then required for dynamic similarity? What is the corresponding force on the nozzle discharging air?

The designer of the collar incorporated a spring to attenuate the shock due to docking. The spring constant is k = 4800 N/m. The combined mass of the astronaut and mod- ule is 780 kg. If the module contacts the docking collar moving at 0.1 m/s relative to the collar, what distance is required for the spring to decrease its relative velocity to zero?

- A process tank has two input streams-Stream 1 at mass flow rate F1 and Stream 2 at mass 1now rate F2. The tank's effluent stream, at flow rate F, discharges through a fixed valve to atmospheric pressure. Pressure drop across the valve is proportional to the flow rate squared. The cross- sectional area of the tank, A, is 5m?, and the mass density of all streams is 940 kg/m³. (a) Draw a schematic diagram of the process and write an appropriate dynamic model for the tank level. What is the corresponding steady-state model? (b) At initial steady-state conditions, with F1 =2.0 kg/s and F2 =1.2 kg/s, the tank level is 2.25 m. What is the value of the valve constant (give units)? (c) A process control engineer decides to use a feed-forward controller to hold the level approximately constant at the set-point value (hsp=2.25 m) by measuring F1 and manipulating F2. What is the mathematical relation that will be used in the controller? If the F1 measurement is not very accurate and always…arrow_forwardA one-fifth scale model of a water turbine is tested in a laboratory at T = 20°C.
