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

He repealed federal taxes, Jefferson reduced military spending. He bought Louisiana from France. Considering only all these positive points and leaving aside the negative ones, one would say that the statement that "Jefferson's administration was the beginning of popular government in the United States."

Which material is more closely related to the styrofoam? a. heat exchanger b. diffuser c. insulator d. electrical conductor
nirvana33 [79]

The material that is more closely related to the Styrofoam insulator.

Styrofoam is the term that is used for polystyrene foam in a trademark form. It is a petroleum-based plastic.

Keeping something warm includes the stopping of the transfer of heat from one object to another. This is how insulation works.

Styrofoam is an insulator, which means it'll help keep the heat from the environment out of your cooler. However, you'll still need cooling agents (like ice packs) to make the cooler cold in the first place.

Styrofoam is usually made mostly of air, which means it is a poor conductor of heat, but an excellent convector. It traps the air in small pockets, which blocks the flow of heat energy. This reduces both conduction and convection and makes Styrofoam a good insulator.

An object's
shusha [124]

The planet of an item will remain constant across the planet, but if you give it more mass, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration due to gravity remains constant.

<h3 /><h3>What is the difference between mass and weight?</h3>

The mass of the body is defined as the amount of matter a body has. It is denoted by m and its unit is kg. Mass is the quantity on which a lot of physical quantity depends.

Weight is defined as the amount of force an object exerts on the surface. It is given as the product of mass and the gravitational pull.

Mass is an independent quantity it never depends on the other. While weight is a dependent quantity that depends upon the gravitational pull.

The value of gravitational pull is different in the different parts of the universe. For example, on the earth, the value of gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/sec².While on the moon it is g/6.

Weight is change according to the place or surrounding while the mass of the body is constant everywhere.

The planet of an item will remain constant across the cosmos, but if you give it more mass, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration of gravity remains constant.

If a planet's gravity weakens, the weight of that planet will likewise be altered. With an increase in mass, weight also rises.

Hence, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration due to gravity remains constant for the given case.

The tools to distinguish the thickness of two objects of thickness of 1.92mm and the other with thickness of 1.93mm is ?
melomori [17]

Answer:

the instrument that gives this precision is the micrometer screw

Explanation:

The high precision measurements of small parts are the general vernier and the micrometer screw.

In these two instruments the same principle is used: there is a fixed rule and a mobile one that increases precision.

Let's analyze the absolute error or precision of each instrument

* For the vernier, the precision of the fixed rule is 1 mm and there are 20 divisions (the most common); therefore the precision of the instrument is

            Δx = 1 mm / 20

            Δx = 0.05 mm

* For the micrometer screw, the precision of the fida rule is 0.5 mm and the number of divisions is 50, therefore the precision of the screw is

            Δx = 0.5mm / 50

            Δx = 0.01 mm

consequently the instrument that gives this precision is the micrometer screw
