Chapter 9, Problem 9RQ
- 9. We have been asked to determine a set of dimensionless numbers to evaluate the speed of a wave in a shallow liquid.
| ρ = Density of the liquid | [=] grams per cubic centimeter [g/cm3] |
| D = Depth of the liquid | [=] feet [ft] |
| v = Velocity of the wave | [=] miles per hour [mph or mi/h] |
| σ = Surface tension of the liquid | [=] joules per square meter [J/m2] |
| µ = Viscosity of the liquid | [=] pascal seconds [Pa s] |
| T = Temperature of the liquid | [=] kelvin [K] |
- a. Analyze this system using Rayleigh’s method.
- b. How does this analysis change if gravity (g, in meters per second squared [m/s2]) is included?

You are heating motor oil to make it flow better from the original shipping container to the new container you built. You know that the heating rate of the motor oil is 2.50 degrees Celsius per slug second [°C
/(slug s)]. Express this heating rate in units of degrees Fahrenheit per pound-mass second [°F/ (lbm s)].

The heating rate is
°F / (lbm s). (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
An automobile's power is proportional to the cube of its speed on a level road in still air. This relationship between speed and engine power for the Gofaster model XP9 is:
[mph]3 = 9600 [hp].
The XP9 has a 180 hp engine.
What is its max speed on a level road in still air?
Please do this carefully.

When you work for a company that studies the performance of car engines, you are tasked with accurately measuring the amount of air intake by car engines. A gas flow meter was introduced from the United States to measure the amount of air. This flow meter measures the flow rate using the pressure difference. Looking at the instruction manual of this flow meter, the following equations were found for the pressure difference head and volume flow [unit, volume/time]. ▷ Volumetric Flow Rate[ft°/min]: =(55.3658* DP-0.143168* DP^ 2)) However, DP is the head (water height) of the manometer, and the unit is inch to be. In the above equation, if you insert DP[inch], the air volume flow rate can be calculated and the unit of the volume flow rate is ft/min. Complex unit conversion is included in the constant in front of DP, so you don't need to worry about it. Before the experiment to measure the amount of air inhaled into the engine, the current atmospheric pressure and temperature were…arrow_forward
