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

What happens when you pay bills using a computer
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Money is transferred from your account to creditors' accounts

Explanation:

When performing online activities that require payments of bills on a computer. The very moment you decided to pay your bills using a computer, your money will be transferred immediately from your account to creditors' accounts. This will imply that the transaction is successful and you have paid your bills.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is "Money is transferred from your account to creditors' accounts."

You drop a ball from a height of 2.0 m, and it bounces back to a height of 1.5 m. a) What fraction of its initial energy is lost
tangare [24]
The fraction of energy that is lost is 25%, it depends how fast the ball was going until it lost 25% of its energy, the gravitational energy was transferred into the kinetic energy that helped the ball bounce back
