A rectangular car-top carrier of 1.7-ft height, 5.0-ft length (front to back), and 4.2-ft width is attached to the top of a car.

Estimate the additional power required to drive the car with the carrier at 60 mph through still air compared with the power required to driving only the car at 60 mph. Assume that CD.

Answer:

\Delta P =1.2 \frac{1.3}{2}(26.822m/s)^2 (4.2*1.7*(0.3048)^2)=13.88 hp

Explanation:

We can assume that the general formula for the drag force is given by:

D= C_D \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 A

And we can see that is proportional to the area. On this case we can calculate the area with the product of the width and the height. And we can express the grad force like this:

D_1 = C_{D1} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh)

Where w is the width and h the height.

The last formula is without consider the area of the carrier, but if we use the area for the carrier we got:

D_2 = C_{D2} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh+ A_{carrier})

If we want to find the additional power added with the carrier we just need to take the difference between the multiplication of drag force by the velocity (assuming equal velocities for both cases) of the two cases, and we got:

\Delta P = C_{D2} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh+ A_{carrier}) V-  C_{D1} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh) V

We can assume the same drag coeeficient C_{D1}=C_{D2}=C_{D} and we got:

\Delta P = C_{D} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh+ A_{carrier}) V-  C_{D} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh) V

\Delta P = C_{D} \frac{\rho}{2}V^3 (A_{carrier})

1.7 ft =0.518 m

60 mph = 26.822 m/s

In order to find the drag coeffcient we ned to estimate the Reynolds number first like this:

R_E= \frac{Vl}{v}= \frac{26.822m/s*0.518 m}{1.58x10^{-4} Pa s}= 8.79 x10^{4}

And the value for the kinematic vicosity was obtained from the table of physical properties of the air under standard conditions.

Now we can find the aspect ratio like this:

\frac{l}{h}=\frac{5}{1.7}2.941

And we can estimate the calue of C_D = 1.2 from a figure.

And we can calculate the power difference like this:

\Delta P =1.2 \frac{1.3}{2}(26.822m/s)^2 (4.2*1.7*(0.3048)^2)=13.88 hp

1). Mention any four operations that requires airlines. 2). Explain how airflow is applicable to the above mentioned operations.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

1)

Following the four operations in the airlines:

Landside operations:

In Airlines, the airports are divided into areas on the countryside and on the airside, in which landside region is available to the public, although strictly controlled access to the airside zone. Its area covers all areas of the airport across the aircraft, including parts of the buildings which can only be reached by customers and employees.

Airside Operations:

It's also committed to ensuring which air operations military exercises Ballarat airfields are safe and secure. It includes the provision of parking and flight escort services to itinerant and automates. Organizing operational response to incidents, accidents, or emergencies at the airport.

Billing and invoicing Operations:

This requires several steps, each of which must be performed with absolute accuracy to ensure that perhaps the airport operator is adequately paid for supplying passengers with all the services and infrastructure. After this, the receipts want to be produced and sent to customers on the airline.

Information management:

In this, it collects all the data about the customers and employees and it also helps in finding new routes and after collecting the data it processes on them.  

2)

It involves many activities in the airline, including dispatch, flight preparation, flight watch, weather information source, activities control, ground-to-air communications, and staff coordination, scheduling, and maintenance planning. Computing and expert programs are constantly being used to handle unpredictable activities.

Estimate the theoretical fracture strength of a brittle material if it is known that fracture occurs by the propagation of an el
Allisa [31]

Answer:

theoretical fracture strength  = 16919.98 MPa

Explanation:

given data

Length (L) = 0.28 mm = 0.28 × 10⁻³ m

radius of curvature (r) = 0.002 mm = 0.002 × 10⁻³ m

Stress (s₀) = 1430 MPa = 1430 × 10⁶ Pa

solution

we get here theoretical fracture strength s that is express as

theoretical fracture strength  =   s_{0} \times \sqrt{\frac{L}{r} }   .............................1

put here value and we get

theoretical fracture strength  =    1430 \times 10^6\times \sqrt{\frac{0.28\times 10^{-3}}{0.002\times 10^{-3}} }  

theoretical fracture strength  =  16919.98 \times 10^6  

theoretical fracture strength  = 16919.98 MPa

Water flows with an average speed of 6.5 ft/s in a rectangular channel having a width of 5 ft The depth of the water is 2 ft.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

specific energy  = 2.65 ft

y2 = 1.48 ft  

Explanation:

given data

average speed v = 6.5 ft/s

width = 5 ft

depth of the water y = 2 ft

solution

we get here specific energy that is express as

specific energy = y + \frac{v^2}{2g}     ...............1

put here value and we get

specific energy = 2 + \frac{6.5^2}{2\times 9.8\times 3.281}  

specific energy  = 2.65 ft

and

alternate depth is

y2 = \frac{y1}{2} \times (-1+\sqrt{1+8Fr^2})  

and

here Fr² = \frac{v1}{\sqrt{gy}}  = \frac{6.5}{\sqrt{32.8\times 2}}  

Fr² = 0.8025

put here value and we get

y2 = \frac{2}{2} \times (-1+\sqrt{1+8\times 0.8025^2})

y2 = 1.48 ft
