A small wind tunnel in a university’s undergraduate fluid flow laboratory has a test section that is 20 in. by 20 in. in cross s

ection and is 4.0 ft long. Its maximum speed is 145 ft/s. Some students wish to build a model 18-wheeler to study how aerodynamic drag is affected by rounding off the back of the trailer. A full-size (prototype) tractor-trailer rig is 52 ft long, 8.33 ft wide, and 12 ft high. Both the air in the wind tunnel and the air flowing over the prototype are at 80 °F and atmospheric pressure.What is the largest scale model they can build to stay within the rule-of-thumb guidelines for blockage? (Convert the scaling ratio to percentage. Round the final answer to two decimal places.) ______What are the dimensions of the model truck in inches?The width of the model truck is _____ .The height of the model truck is _____ .The length of the model truck is _____ .What is the maximum model truck Reynolds number (based on truck width) achievable by the students?The maximum Reynolds number is ______ × 10–5.

Answer:

a. Wm = 4.56 in, Hm = 6.57 in, and Lm = 28.5 in, x = 182.7%, b . Reynolds number is 3.25 x 10⁵

Explanation:

a. The rule of thumb guideline given is that blockage should be kept below 7.5 %. Therefore, the frontal area of the model truck must be no more than 0.075 then the area of the wind tunnel.

Notice the ratio of the height H and width W of the full-sized truck

H(p)/W(p) = 12/8.33 = 1.44

<u>Realize that the area of the model truck is equal to 1.44W²p</u>

So, from rule of thumb

0.075A(wind tunnel) = 1.44W²(m)

W²(m) = (0.075/1.44) (20 x 20)

W(m) = √20.832 = 4.56in

<u>Calculate the ratio of the prototype to model</u>

X = W(p)/W(m)

X = 8.33/4.56 = 1.827 or 182.7%

Calculate the length of truck of model

L(m) = L(p)/x

= 52/1.827 = 28.46 in

<u>Calculate the height of the truck of model</u>

H(m) = H(p)/x

= 12/1.827 = 6.57 in

<u>Thus, the largest scale by rule of thumb is W(p)/W(m) =1.827</u>

Thus, the dimension of model truck is Wm = 4.56 in, Hm = 6.57 in, and Lm = 28.5 in

b. The Reynolds Number Re, can be calculated using the density of air, the width of the model W(m) the maximum velocity of the wind tunnel V(max) and the viscosity of air μ

Re = ρ x W(m) x V(max)/μ

Where ρ = 0.0735lbm/ft³, μ = 1.248 x 10⁻⁵, Wm = 4.56 in = 0.38ft, V(max) = 145ft/s

Re = (0.0735) x (0.38) x (145)/(1.248 x 10⁻⁵)

= 3.25 x 105

Thus,. The maximum Reynolds number is 3.25 x 10⁵

An irreversible heat pump and a Carnot heat pump operate between the same two thermal reservoirs. Which heat pump has higher COP
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Carnot heat pump

Explanation:

Carnot heat pump is an ideal heat pump in which all processes are reversible and that consume minimum amount of work to and produces maximum amount of heating effect compare to all real engine.And that is why COP of Carnot heat pump is more as compare to real heat pump.

All real heat pump are not perfectly reversible heat pump So this is also called irreversible heat pump .Due to irreversibility the COP of  irreversible heat pump is always  less than the COP of  Carnot heat pump.

How would you describe what would happen to methane if the primary bonds were to break?
erastova [34]

Answer:

All the bonds in methane (CH4CH4) are equivalent, and all have the same dissociation energy.

The product of the dissociation is methyl radical (CH3CH3). All the bonds in methyl radical are equivalent, and all have the same dissociation energy.

The product of that dissociation is methylene (CH2CH2). All the bonds in methylene are equivalent, and all have the same dissociation energy.

The product of that dissociation is methyne (CHCH) .

The C-H bonds in methane do not have the same dissociation energy as C-H bonds in methyl radical, which in turn do not have the same dissociation energy as the C-H bonds in methylene, which are again different from the C-H bond in methyne.

If (by some miracle) you were able to get all four bonds in methane to dissociate absolutely simultaneously, they would all show the same dissociation energy… but that energy, per bond broken, would be different than the energy required to break just one C-H bond in methane, because the products are different.

(In this case, it’s CH4→C+4HCH4→C+4H versus CH4→CH3+HCH4→CH3+H.)

To alter hydrocarbons you add enough energy to break a C-H bond. Why does only one bond break? What concentrates the energy on one C-H bond?

the weakest CH bond is the one that breaks. in plain alkanes it has to do with the molecular orbital interactions between neighboring carbon atoms. look at propane for example. the middle carbon has two C-C bonds, and each of those C-C bonds is strengthened by slight electron delocalization from the C-H bonds overlapping with the antibonding orbitals of the adjacent carbons.

since the C-H bonds on the middle carbon donate electron density to both of its neighbors, those two are weakest.

one of them will break preferentially.

which one actually breaks depends on the reaction conditions (kinetics). frankly it's whichever one ramdomly approaches a nucleophile first. when the nucleophile pulls of one of the H's, the other C-H bonds start to share (delocalize) the negative charge across the whole molecule. so while the middle C feels the majority of the negative charge character, the other two C's take on a fair amount as well...

by the way, alkanes don't really like to break and form anions like that.

a better example would be something like isopropyl iodide, where the C-I bond breaks and the I carries away the electron pair, forming a carbocation (also not particularly stable, but more so than the carbanion).
