A small projectile is fired vertically downward into a fluid medium with an initial velocity of 60 m/s. Due to the drag resistan

ce of the fluid the projectile experiences a deceleration of a (-0.4) m/s2, where v is in m/s. Determine the projectile's velocity and position 4 s after it is fired.

Answer:

Velocity after 4 seconds becomes $58.4m/s$

Explanation:

By definition of acceleration we have

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}$

It is given in our case that a = $-0.4m/s^{2}$

Thus we have

$\frac{dv}{dt}=-0.4m/s^{2}\\ \\\\dv=-0.4dt\\\\Upon Integrating \\\\\int_{60}^{V_{f}}dv=\int_{0}^{4s}(-.4)dt$

Thus solving we get

$V_{f}-60=(-0.4)(4-0)\\ \\V_{f}=-1.6+60\\ \\V_{f}=58.4m/s$

Answer:

Total saving would be of 36.917 $\yr

Explanation:

Given Data:

$T_{heater} = 120$ Degree F

$T_{room} = 60$ Degree F

A = 30 ft^2

$\eta = 100$ %

Heat loss before previous final value $= \frac{A \Delta T}{R}$

$=\frac{30\times *(120-60)}{5}$

= 360 Btu/hr

Heat loss after new value $= \frac{30\times \times (120-60)}{15} = 120 Btu/hr$

saving would be $= 360 - 120 Btu/hr \times kw hr/ 3412 Btu\times 24 hr/day \times 365 day/year$

= 616.1782 kw hr/yr

$cost = 616.1782 \times 0.06$ $

= 36.917 $\yr

Answer:

The model system will need water flowing at a velocity of 2.07 meters per second to guarantee kinematic similarity in the form of equal Reynolds numbers.

Explanation:

The Reynolds number ( $Re_{D}$ ) is a dimensionless criterion use for flow regime of fluids, which is defined as:

$Re_{D} = \frac{\rho \cdot v\cdot D}{\mu}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\rho$ - Density, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\mu$ - Dynamic viscosity, measured in kilograms per meter-second.

$v$ - Average flow velocity, measured in meters per second.

$D$ - Pipe diameter, measured in meters.

We need to find the equivalent velocity of water used in the prototype system. In this case, we assume that $Re_{D,gas} = Re_{D,w}$ . That is:

$\frac{\rho_{w}\cdot v_{w}\cdot D_{w}}{\mu_{w}} = \frac{\rho_{gas}\cdot v_{gas}\cdot D_{gas}}{\mu_{gas}}$ (Eq. 2)

Where subindex $w$ is used for water and $gas$ for gasoline.

If we know that $\rho_{gas} = 690\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}}$ , $\mu_{gas} = 0.006\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s}$ , $v_{gas} = 0.5\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $D_{gas} = 1\,m$ , $\rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\mu_{w} = 0.0018\,\frac{kg}{m\cdot s}$ and $D_{w} = 0.05\,m$ , then we get the following formula:

$57500 = 27777.778\cdot v_{w}$

The fluid velocity for the prototype system is:

$v_{w} = 2.07\,\frac{m}{y}$

The model system will need water flowing at a velocity of 2.07 meters per second to guarantee kinematic similarity in the form of equal Reynolds numbers.
