Answer: π= G[√(u.V/W)]

STEP 1

Given parameters:

Power Input W= FL/T,

Absolute Viscosity u= FT/L²

Basin volume V= V/L³

Velocity gradient G= V/L³

STEP 2

We start by expressing the velocity gradient G as a function of W, u, V

G= G(W,u,V)

To get the pii terms, we use the dimension number formula n=k - r

where n and k are natural numbers representing number of fundamental dimensions and variable present respectively.

n= 4-3=1

STEP 3:

We expressed the pii terms as

π= G.W^a.u^b.V^c

The three fundamental F L T

We can write as

Fⁿ.Lⁿ.Tⁿ= 1/T. (FL/T)^a.(FT/L²)^b.(L³)

Using the exponential rule and by comparing coefficient on both sides;

Fⁿ.Lⁿ.Tⁿ= F^a+b. L^a-2b+3c. T^-a+b-1

Fⁿ= F^a+b = a+b= 0..............I

Lⁿ= L^a-2b+3c=0 = a-2b+3c=0...........ii

Tⁿ=L^-a+b-1=0. -a+b-1=0............iii

From the above equations we have,

a+b =0: b=-a...........iv

putting eq. iv into iii , we have

-a-a-1=0: -2a-1=0: a= -1/2

substituting the above value of a into eq iv, we have

b= 1/2

substituting the value of b above into eq 2, we have,

-1/2-2(1/2)+3c=0

c=1/2.

Lastly, from the pii terms given above we can obtain dimensionless relationship,

π=G(W^-1/2.u^1/2.V^1/2)

We can write this as

π= G[ √1/W.√u. √1/2] = G[(√u.V/√W)] or G[√(u.V/W)].... final answer.

Indicate on a tensile curve such quantities as yield stress, Young's modulus, UTS, toughness, point of necking, point of fractur
Illusion [34]

Explanation:

Step1

In the stress-strain curve of any material, the yield stress is the maximum stress at which material starts yielding.

Step2

Young’s modulus is the constant of proportionality of stress and strain according to hooks law. It is the slope of the slope of the stress-strain curve of the any material under proportional limit.

Step3

Ultimate tensile stress is the maximum stress that induced in the material under application of load.

Step4

Toughness is the strain energy per unit volume up to the fracture point of the stress-strain diagram of any material. This is the area under the curve of stress-strain.

Step5

Point of necking is the point where any material starts necking under application of load in necking region of the stress-strain curve.

Step6

Fracture point is the last point of the stress-strain curve where component fractures under application of load.

All the parameters are shown in below stress-strain curve:

A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 40°C that is being stirred by a paddle wheel. The paddle wheel does 240 kJ of work on the
Sergeu [11.5K]

To solve the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts and formulas related to the change of ideal gas entropy.

By definition the entropy change would be defined as

\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})

Using the Boyle equation we have

\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{v_1T_2}{v_2T_1})

Where,

C_p = Specific heat at constant pressure

T_1= Initial temperature of gas

T_2= Final temprature of gas

R = Universal gas constant

v_1= Initial specific Volume of gas

v_2= Final specific volume of gas

According to the statement, it is an isothermal process and the tank is therefore rigid

T_1 = T_2, v_2=v_1

The equation would turn out as

\Delta S = C_p ln1-ln1

<em>Therefore the entropy change of the ideal gas is 0</em>

Into the surroundings we have that

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}

Where,

Q = Heat Exchange

T = Temperature in the surrounding

Replacing with our values we have that

\Delta S = \frac{230kJ}{(30+273)K}

\Delta S = 0.76 kJ/K

<em>Therefore the increase of entropy into the surroundings is 0.76kJ/K</em>
