Chapter 9, Problem 1RQ
- 1. While researching fluid dynamics, you come across a reference to the dimensionless number called the Grashof number, given by the equation below.
Where:
D= pipe diameter [=] ft
g= acceleration due to gravity [=] m/ s2
T= temperature of the surface(Ts) and bulk fluid (Tb) [=] K
What are the dimensions of beta, β?

Students have asked these similar questions
physical quantities m, r, u, a, and t with dimensions [m] = M, [r]= L, [v] = LT, [a] = LT-2, and [t] = T.
Enter the dimensional expression of the quantity on the right-hand side of each equation. Your answers may contain only M, L,
T, and exponents.
Assume that each of the following equations is dimensionally consistent.
F = ma
[F] =
To understand the heat transfer from a bar in cross flow, you conduct a series of
experiments measuring the average heat transfer coefficient as a function of the free stream
velocity. A schematic of the experiment and the accompanying results are shown below.

a) You expect the important dimensionless parameters to be related by a function of
the form
Nu = CRe Pr
where C, m, and n are constants. The film temperature in both the experiments is
approximately the same. Use the given experimental results to determine the
constant m
b) Calculate h for L = 0.75 m and V = 30 m/s.
This is for my thermodynamics chorus! Please consider degrees of freedom, the universal gas constant and the individual gas constant.
Do not use PV=nRT for (c)
Use another form of the ideal gas law to solve

- Please do this carefully.arrow_forwardAn elastic foundation is often used to support heavy machinery that vibrates in such a way to cause problems for the rest of the structure. An elastic foundation with two equal springs each of stiffness k = 600 lbs/in is used to support the equipment of weight W = 1000 lbs shown. The equipment vibrates in such a way that it causes a vertical forcing function P(t) = 100 sin(20t) [lbs]. %3D (a) Draw the degree of freedom for the motion of the machinery.
