Chapter 3, Problem 3.12P

Consider the flow over a semi-infinite body as discussed in Section 3.11. If V is the velocity of the uniform stream, and the stagnation point is 1 ft upstream of the source:

a. Draw the resulting semi-infinite body to scale on graph paper.

b. Plot the pressure coefficient distribution over the body; that is, plot C p , versus distance along the centerline of the body.

A 2-1/2 inch fire hose discharges water through a nozzle having a jet diameter of 1 inch. Thelost head in the nozzle is 5.76 percent of the velocity head in the jet. If the gage pressure atbase of nozzle is (a) 86 lb per sq in.: (b) 167 lb per sq in.: (1.1) compute the discharge ingallons per minute: (1.2) what is the maximum horizontal range to which the stream can bethrown, neglecting air resistance?
A turbine (see the figure of Example IIIa.3.21) is located at an elevation H1 from the surface of a lake with the discharge pipe located at an elevation H2 from the turbine centerline. Find flow velocity, V4 in terms of H1, H2, P1, P4, h,, and p where subscript 4 refers to the discharge piping. [Ans.: V, = (2/p)[(R – P.) + pg (Z, – Z, –h,)]. Lake H, h. D2 4 D4 H4 Turbine
A two-dimensional flow field has an x-component of velocity given in Cartesian coordinates by u = 2x − 3y. (a) Find v, the y-component of velocity, if the flow is incompressible and v = 0 when x = 0. (b) If the flow follows the Bernoulli equation, find an expression for the pressure distribution as a function of x and y, given that the pressure is p0 at the stagnation point.
