Answer:

<em>No, the velocity profile does not change in the flow direction.</em>

Explanation:

In a fluid flow in a circular pipe, the boundary layer thickness increases in the direction of flow, until it reaches the center of the pipe, and fill the whole pipe. If the density, and other properties of the fluid does not change either by heating or cooling of the pipe, <em>then the velocity profile downstream becomes fully developed, and constant, and does not change in the direction of flow.</em>

The engine of a 2000kg car has a power rating of 75kW. How long would it take (seconds) to accelerate from rest to 100 km/hr at

Delvig [45]

Answer: 10.29 sec.

Explanation:

Neglecting drag and friction, and at road level , the energy developed during the time the car is accelerating, is equal to the change in kinetic energy.

If the car starts from rest, this means the following:

ΔK = 1/2 m*vf ²

As Power (by definition) is equal to Energy/Time= 75000 W= 75000 N.m/seg, in order to get time in seconds, we need to convert 100 km/h to m/sec first:

100 (Km/h)*( 1000m /1 Km)*(3600 sec/1 h)= 27,78 m/sec

Now, we calculate the change in energy:

ΔK= 1/2*2000 Kg. (27,78)² m²/sec²= 771,728 J
