Engineers are designing a cylindrical air tank and are trying to determine the dimensions of the tank. The proposed material for
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The length of tank is found to be 0.6 m or 600 mm

Explanation:

In order to determine the length, we need to find a volume for the tank.

For this purpose, we use ideal gas equation:

PV  = nRT

n = no. of moles = m/M

Therefore,

PV = (m/M)(RT)

V = (mRT)/(MP)

where,

V = volume of air = volume of container

m = mass of air = 4.64 kg

R = General Gas Constant = 8.314 J/mol.k

T = temperature of air = 10°C + 273 = 283 K

M = molecular mass of air = 0.02897 kg/mol

P = Pressure of Air = 20 MPa = 20 x 10^6 N/m²

V = (4.64 kg)(8.314 J/mol.k)(283 k)/(0.02897 kg/mol)(20 x 10^6 N/m²)

V = 0.01884 m³

Now, the volume of cylindrical tank is given as:

V = 0.01884 m³ = π(Diameter/2)²(Length)

Length = (0.01884 m³)(4)/π(0.2 m)²

<u>Length = 0.6 m = 600 mm</u>

Assuming the transition to turbulence for flow over a flat plate happens at a Reynolds number of 5x105, determine the following
torisob [31]

Given:

Assuming the transition to turbulence for flow over a flat plate happens at a Reynolds number of 5x105, determine the following for air at 300 K and engine oil at 380 K. Assume the free stream velocity is 3 m/s.

To Find:

a. The distance from the leading edge at which the transition will occur.

b. Expressions for the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses as a function of x for a laminar boundary layer

c. Which fluid has a higher heat transfer

Calculation:

The transition from the lamina to turbulent begins when the critical Reynolds

number reaches 5\times 10^5

(a).  \;\text{Rex}_{cr}=5 \times 10^5\\\\\frac{\rho\;vx}{\mu}=5 \times 10^5\\\text{density of of air at}\;300K=1.16  \frac{kg}{m\cdot s}\\\text{viscosity of of air at}\;300K=1.846 \times 10^{-5} \frac{kg}{m\cdot s} \\v=3m/s\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{5\times 10^5 \times 1.846 \times 10^{-5} }{1.16 \times 3} =2.652 \;m \;\text{for air}\\(\text{similarly for engine oil at 380 K for given}\; \rho \;\text{and} \;\mu)\\

(b).\; \text{For the lamina boundary layer momentum boundary layer thickness is given by}:\\\frac{\delta}{x} =\frac{5}{\sqrt{R_e}}\;\;\;\;\quad\text{for}\; R_e(c). \frac{\delta}{\delta_t}={P_r}^{\frac{r}{3}}\\\text{For air} \;P_r \;\text{equivalent 1 hence both momentum and heat dissipate with the same rate for oil}\; \\P_r >>1 \text{heat diffuse very slowly}\\\text{So heat transfer rate will be high for air.}\\\text{Convective heat transfer coefficient will be high for engine oil.}

Calculate the pressure drop in a duct (measured by a differential oil manometer) if the differential height between the two flui
Burka [1]

Answer:

The pressure drop is 269.7N/m^2

Explanation:

∆P = ∆h × rho × g

∆h = 3.2cm = 3.2/100 = 0.032m, rho = 860kg/m^3, g = 9.8m/s^2

∆P = 0.032×860×9.8 = 269.7N/m^2
