A small three (3) blade turbine with 10 meter long blades is shut down due to wind speeds being 35 m/s. The turbine has a brake on the low speed shaft rotor to keep the rotor from spinning in these circumstances. However, a maintenance man accidentally sets the blades to have an angle of attack of 10 degrees against the incoming wind when the rotor is facing into the wind. The blades have a constant chord of 0.5 meters, and have CI = 2TTA where a is measure in radians. Assume also that the air density is 1.25 kg/m³. Approximately how much torque must the brake restrain?
Air is flowing parallel to the plate at U∞=5 m/s and T∞=300 K over the flat plate of length L=0.1 m anddepth of 1 m into the paper, at the atmospheric pressure at the same temperature as the plate. Find;a) Boundary layer thickness at the point x = L of the plateb) Find the total resistance force acting on the two surfaces of the plate.c) The velocities in the hydrodynamic boundary layer are measured by a hot wire anomemeter. Thevelocity at x=0.1 m on the x component is measured as u=3 m/s. Find the distance from the plate and they component of velocity v.
Q1. What would be the effect on the calculated force on the flat plate if the jet were to leave the plate not horizontal but inclined upwards at an angle of 1 °? If the experiment were to be repeated with the vane in the form of a cone with an included angle of 60° (half angle 30°), how would you expect the results to appear?
A 50 cm diameter pipe conveys water for purposes of power generation. The pipe is 1000 m long and has a head of 100 m at the inlet. If a nozzle, discharging into atmosphere is fitted at the outlet, estimate the diameter of the nozzle for maximum transmission of power. What is the magnitude of the maximum power? [Assume f = 0.019].
A model rocket has engine with an average thrust of 2.82 N. The rocket mass is 71.5 g, which includes fuel mass 27.3 g. The duration of fuel burning is 2.52 s. What is the final speed vf of this rocket if it were to be fired from International Space Station with initial speed vi=7660 m/s? Assume the fuel burns at a constant rate.
A 7.6 cm jet of water strikes a vertical plate in its centrod. Find the velocity of water through the jet if a horizontal force of 44.5 N is applied to: 1) hold the plate stationary. 2) move the plate to the right by a constant velocity of 3 m/s?[ Note: Neglect the pressure force effects]

A 256 Hz sound wave in air (density 1.20 kg/m^3, speed of sound 344 m/s) has intensity 4.50×10^−8 W/m. What is the wave's pressure amplitude? If the intensity remains the same but the frequency is doubled to 512 Hz, how does this affect the pressure amplitude?
