A crude approximation for the x component of velocity in an incompressible laminar boundary layer is a linear variation from u =

0 at the surface (y = 0 ) to the freestream velocity, U, at the boundary-layer edge (y = δ). The equation for the profile is u = Uy/δ, where δ = cx1/2 and c is a constant. (a) What is the simplest expression for the y component of velocity (use x, y, u)? (b) Evaluate the maximum value of the ratio v/U, at a location where x = 0.5 m and δ = 6.0 mm.

Answer:

2.5 * 10^-3

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

The simplest solution is obtained if we assume that this is a two-dimensional steady flow, since in that case there are no dependencies upon the z coordinate or time t. Also, we will assume that there are no additional arbitrary purely x dependent functions f (x) in the velocity component v. The continuity equation for a two-dimensional in compressible flow states:

<em>δu/δx+δv/δy=0</em>

so that:  

<em>δv/δy= -δu/δx</em>

Now, since u = Uy/δ, where δ = cx^1/2, we have that:

<em>u=U*y/cx^1/2</em>

and we obtain:  

<em>δv/δy=U*y/2cx^3/2</em>

The last equation can be integrated to obtain (while also using the condition of simplest solution - no z or t dependence, and no additional arbitrary functions of x):  

v=∫δv/δy(dy)=U*y/4cx^1/2

 =y/x*(U*y/4cx^1/2)

 =u*y/4x

which is exactly what we needed to demonstrate.  

Also, using u = U*y/δ in the last equation we can obtain:  

v/U=u*y/4*U*x

     =y^2/4*δ*x

which obviously attains its maximum value for the which is y = δ (boundary-layer edge). So, finally:

(v/U)_max=δ^2/4δx

                =δ/4x

                =2.5 * 10^-3

A 55 kg track and field athlete has an average power output of 5.4 kW during the 200 meter dash. How quickly did she finish the
olga_2 [115]

The time taken for the athlete to finish the race is 20 s (Option A)

<h3>What is power? </h3>

Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as

Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)

But

Work = weight × distance

Therefore,

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 55 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Weight = mg = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N
  • Power (P) = 5.4 KW = 5.4 × 1000 = 5400 W
  • Distance (d) = 200 m
  • Time (t) =?

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

5400 = (539 × 200) / t

5400 = 107800 / t

Cross multiply

5400 × t = 107800

Divide both side by 5400

t = 107800 / 5400

t = 20 s

How much current must be applied across a 60 Ω light bulb filament in order for it to consume 55 W of power? Unserious answers w
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: current I = 0.96 Ampere

Explanation:

Given that the

Resistance R = 60 Ω 

Power = 55 W

Power is the product of current and voltage. That is

P = IV ...... (1)

But voltage V = IR. From ohms law.

Substitutes V in equation (1) power is now

P = I^2R

Substitute the above parameters into the formula to get current I

55 = 60 × I^2

Make I^2 the subject of formula

I^2 = 55/60

I^2 = 0.92

I = sqr(0.92)

I = 0.957 A

Therefore, 0.96 A current must be applied.
