Question
In the 1930’s the American great plains region was subjected to a period of severe dust storms, which became known as the Dust Bowl. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report that severe dust storm clouds, such as the one shown here, can reach up to 3,000 meters in height.
Stokes’ Law
Use Stoke’s law or apply drag coefficient for a sphere in creeping flow to find terminal velocity; neglect any up or down draft air currents and take buoyance into account
a)Calculate how long the smallest of the dust cloud particles will take to settle to the ground from the maximum height of the plume

The boundary layer can be assumed to be turbulent over the entire plate. If the length of the plate is increased by 10%, taking all the factors same, what is percentage change in the total drag coefficient?

Another identical elbow is attached to the existing elbow such that the water flow makes a U-turn as shown in the second figure. The diameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 50 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and the outlet. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m³.

- A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 43 kg/s. Another identical elbow is attached to the existing elbow such that the water flow makes a U-turn as shown in the second figure. The diameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 50 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and the outlet. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3.arrow_forwardA body of length 3 m is moving normal to the direction of its motion moving through the water having viscosity of 0.0125 poise. If the total drag force acting on the body is 7,034 kN, then the projected area of the body will be Drag-coefficient and Reynold's Number to be 0.6 and 9 × 106 respectively. m².

The velocity profile between the two plates is found to have a non- linear profile that is defined as u = (9y - 0.6y?) mm/s where y is in mm. Assuming the top plate has an area of 0.5 m? and the viscosity of the oil is u= 0.437 N.s/m?, determine (a) the shear stress 1mm above the fixed plate, and (b) the force required to pull the upper plate. 2.

- 2-liter soda bottles do not have flat bottoms. A bottle can be approximated as a cylinder filled from the bottom up to 0.26-m high with a hemispherical space of 10-cm-diameter underneath. If you treat the soda as having the density of water, what is the force in N of the soda on the curved bottom of the soda bottle?arrow_forwardThe following diagram shows a crate on an incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction (uk) between the crate and the incline is 0.1. The velocity of the box is zero, at which point in time it is subjected to a constant horizontal force F= 20 N.
