Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 14P
Solve Problem 9.13 with the velocity profile at section bc given by the parabolic expression from Problem 9.8.
9.13 A fluid, with density ρ = 1.5 slug/ft3, flows at U = 10 ft/s over a flat plate 10 ft long and 3 ft wide. At the trailing edge, the boundary-layer thickness is δ = 1 in. Assume the velocity profile is linear, as shown, and that the flow is two-dimensional (flow conditions are independent of z). Using control volume abcd, shown by the dashed lines, compute the mass flow rate across surface ab. Determine the drag force on the upper surface of the plate. Explain how this viscous drag can be computed from the given data even though we do not know the fluid viscosity.

The viscosity of clover honey is listed as a function of temperature. The specific gravity of the honey is about 1.42 and is not a strong function of temperature. The honey is squeezed through a small hole of diameter D = 6.0 mm in the lid of an inverted honey jar. The room and the honey are at T = 20°C. Estimate the maximum speed of the honey through the hole such that the flow can be approximated as creeping flow. (Assume that Re must be less than 0.1 for the creeping flow approximation to be appropriate.) Repeat your calculation if the temperature is 50°C. Discuss.
Flow straighteners consist of arrays of narrow ducts placed in a flow to remove swirl and other transverse
(secondary) velocities. One element can be idealised as a square box with thin sides as shown below.
Calculate the pressure drop across a box with L=22 cm and a= 2.7 cm, if air with free-stream velocity of
Uo = 11 m/s flows though the straightener. Use laminar flat-plate theory and take u = 1.85 x 10-5 Pa.s
and p = 1.177kg/m³ .

Problem 1. For uniform flow over a flat plate, a useful approximation for the x-component of velocity in an
incompressible laminar boundary layer is a parabolic variation from the velocity at the surface, u (y = 0) = 0
due to no-slip condition, to the free-stream velocity at the edge of the boundary layer, u (y = 8) = U. The
equation for the profile is given by
u/U = 2 (y/d) – (y/8)², where d = cx 1/2 and c is a constant

- IBL, Flat Plate. Apply the integral boundary layer analysis to a flat plate turbulent flow as follows. Assume the turbulent profile u/U = (y/δ)1/6 to compute the momentum flux term on the RHS of IBL, but on the LHS of IBL, use the empirical wall shear stress, adapted from pipe flow: ?w = 0.0233 ⍴U2 (v/Uδ)1/4 where the kinematic viscosity ν = μ/⍴. It is necessary to use this empirical wall shear relation because the turbulent power law velocity profile blows up at the wall and cannot be used to evaluate the wall shear stress. Compute (a) (δ/x) as a function of Rex; (b) total drag coefficient, CD, L as a function of ReL; (c) If ReL = 6 x 107 compare values for this IBL CD,L and those empirical ones given in Table 9.1 for both smooth plate and transitional at Rex = 5 x 105 cases.

The x-axis is the centerline of the duct (it is symmetric about the x-axis), and the top and bottom walls are to be curved in such a way that the axial wind speed u decreases approximately linearly from u1 = 300 m/s at section 1 to u2 = 100 m/s at section 2 . Meanwhile, the air density ? is to increase approximately linearly from ?1 = 0.85 kg/m3 at section 1 to ?2 = 1.2 kg/m3 at section 2.
