Chapter 4, Problem 21P
Consider steady flow of air through the diffuser portion of a wind tunnel (Fig. P4-21). Along the centerline of the diffuser, the air speed decreases from uentranceto uexitas sketched. Measurements reveal that the centerline air speed decreases parabolically through the diffuser. Write an equation for centerline speed u(x), based on the parameters given here, from x=0 to x=L

acceleration); this term can be nonzero even for steady flows. It accounts
for the effect of the fluid particle moving (advecting or convecting) to a
new location in the flow, where the velocity field is different. For example,
nunan A Çengel | John M. Cinbala
consider steady flow of water through a garden hose nozzle (Fig. 4-8). We
define steady in the Eulerian frame of reference to be when properties at
any point in the flow field do not change with respect to time. Since the
velocity at the exit of the nozzle is larger than that at the nozzle entrance,
fluid particles clearly accelerate, even though the flow is steady. The accel-
eration is nonzero because of the advective acceleration terms in Eq. 4-9.

fluid acceleration along the diffuser centerline as a function
of x and the given parameters. For L = 1.56 m, uentrance =
22.6 m/s, and exit = 17.5 m/s, calculate the acceleration at
x = 0 and x = 1.0 m. Answers: 0, -96.4 m/s²
The Reynolds transport theorem (RTT) is discussed in Chap. 4 of your textbook. For the
general case of a moving and/or deforming control volume, we write the RTT as follows:
d
pb dV + pbV-ñ dA
dt
dt
dB sys
where Vr is the relative velocity, i.e., the velocity of the fluid relative to the control surface.
Write the primary dimensions of each additive term in the equation and verify that the
equation is dimensionally homogeneous. Show all your work. (Hint: Since B can be any
property of the flow-scalar, vector, or even tensor—it can have a variety of dimensions.
So, just let the dimensions of B be those of B itself, {B}. Also, b is defined as B per unit
mass.)
