- 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?

- 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. (b) Determine the equation of motion. What type of motion is this? (c) Determine the natural frequency and the displacement of the machinery. (d) What is the maximum amount of force that will be felt by the rest of the structure? (Think about what causes force to the rest of the structure) Rest of structure Hwwarrow_forwardUse image below to solve Parts A and Barrow_forward
- 3. Consider the following equation. All three of the terms in parentheses are dimensionless groups. Because kc is difficult to determine directly, the other variables are measured and kc is calculated from the given equation. 26 THERMODYNAMICS 1 MODULE 1 FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS ]3 [ _d>vp_jo8 p DAB kc D = 0.023 [H DAB What is the estimated value of kc? What are the units of kc? Show your work. The following values were measured: D = 8.0 mm, DAB = 0.475 cm²/s, µ = 1.12 x 103 N-s/m², p = 1.00 x 10-³ g/cm³, v = 15.0 m/s.arrow_forwardSolve it correctly please. I will rate accordinglyarrow_forwardCheck the following equation for dimensional homogeneity: mv = = 1.5² (Fcose) dt where m is mass, v is velocity, F is force, is an angle, and t is time. Check that each term in the equation has the following dimensions: [MªLbTC] where you are to choose the coefficients a, b, c. Answers: a = i b = i C=arrow_forward
