MAE130B Concept/Question/Comments Film: Channel Flow of a Compressible Fluid Due Date: March 15‚ 2013 Concept 1: Choking Choking occurs when the Mach number at the throat of a channel flow is equal to one. Conceptually choking is the phenomena where the flow in a channel transitions to sonic flow. Due to the conditions of choking‚ the velocity‚ density‚ and pressure can increase or decrease continuously through a sonic throat‚ and the flow does not need to be symmetrical. Another notable phenomena

Midterm Exam II Solution‚ ME 342 Fluid Mechanics (Spring 2013) 1. Consider a steady‚ incompressible‚ y=+h b viscous flow of viscosity due to y a pressure gradient x inside a channel of two fixed u=u(y) plates at a distance of 2h‚ as shown in the figure. Neglect a gravity effect. The channel width y=h b is W and it is very long compared to the channel length L (i.e.‚ W>>L) so that it is still valid to assume that the channel flow is a two-dimensional plane flow ( ) and an axial flow (v = w = 0)

they influence friction losses. Introduction Friction loss is the loss of energy or “head” that occurs in pipe flow due to viscous effects generated by the surface of the pipe. This energy drop is dependent on the wall shear stress (τ) between the fluid and pipe surface. The shear stress of a flow is also dependent on whether the flow is turbulent or laminar. For turbulent flow‚ the pressure drop is dependent on the roughness of the surface‚ while in laminar flow‚ the roughness effects of the wall

OK 73019 Dr. Nollert‚ The experiment performed was Experiment IV: Fluid Flow Meters and Tray Hydraullics. The group was composed of Alex Long‚ Khanh Ho‚ Tricia Heitmann and myself. The first day of experimentation was April 16‚ 2013. On this day‚ Alex and I ran the sieve tray apparatus to study the vapor and liquid tray hydraulics parameters for sieve type crossflow distillation trays. Tricia and Khanh ran the fluid flow apparatus to determine the operating characteristics of the Venturi

MEASURING AND MODELLING HYDRAULIC FLUID DYNAMICS AT HIGH PRESSURE - ACCURATE AND SIMPLE APPROACH. International Journal Of Fluid Power‚ 13(2)‚ 51-59. ASTRACT: Dynamic properties of hydraulic fluids have to be taken into account in ever increasing fluid power applications. The main reasons are increasing accuracy demands in control and modeling‚ as well as increasing operating pressure and temperature ranges. Moreover‚ the already wide spectrum of different hydraulic fluids is also expanding all the time

Fluid Mechanics 3-Aerofoil Lab Report Introduction This report aims to investigate the effect the angle of attack of an aerofoil has on the air flow around it. This was done by recording the lift and drag forces the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack. The experimental lift force the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack was then compared with theoretical values. An attempt was made to explain any discrepancies

WHAT IS FLUID MECHANICS ? FLUIED: Any thing whose particles can move easily from one place to another that means shape can be easily changed upon the application of negligible force. MECHANICS: Study of response of bodies upon the application of force. FLUID MECHANICS : Fluid mechanics may be defined as the branch of engineering science which deal with behavior of fluids under the condition of rest and

Properties The density and dynamic viscosity of water at 70 F are 6.556 10-4 lbm/ft s. The roughness of galvanized iron pipe is = 0.0005 ft. = 62.30 lbm/ft3 and = 2.360 lbm/ft h = Analysis The piping system involves 125 ft of 5-in diameter piping‚ an entrance with negligible loses‚ 3 standard flanged 90 smooth elbows (KL = 0.3 each)‚ and a sharp-edged exit (KL = 1.0). We choose points 1 and 2 at the free surfaces of the river and the tank‚ respectively. We note that the fluid at both points is open
