Over the past 100 years, an average of 850 people have died each year from volcano eruptions. As scientists and engineers study the mechanics of lava flow, accurately predicting the flow rate (velocity) of the lava is critical to saving lives after an eruption. Jeffrey's equation captures the relationship between flow rate and viscosity as: Flow V = Pgt sin(@) 28 сm 10 where p is the density of the lava, g is gravity, t is the flow thickness, a is the slope, and u is the lava viscosity. Typical values are given as follows for the flow rate: u= 4x103 kg/(m.s) ±1% p= 2.5 g/cm³ ±1% t= 28 cm +0.5 cm a= 10° +1 ° g= 9.81 m/s?

The tests are carried out in a water tunnel, where the airship model is fixed to a support instrumented with a force sensor. The speed of the flow that affects the model is controlled by a variable speed pump that is the one that originates the flow towards the model. The scale is 1:20, μwater=1.01x10-3 kg/ms, μair= 1.85x10-5 Pa-s, ρair= 1.25kg/m3, ρwater=1000 kg/m3.

- What is the specific weight of octane gas at 1.5 kgf/cm^2 gauge and 60 °F?arrow_forwardConsider a fluid layer A surrounded on both sides by a fluid, B. The fluid layer can be thought of as a membrane. A species S is diffusing across this membrane, and has concentrations c and c (in the fluid B) on the two sides of the membrane, as shown in Fig. 7.28. It often happens that the solubility of material S inside the membrane is different than its solubility in bulk solution B. We therefore define a partition coefficient k as concentration of S in material A (at equilibrium) (7.30) concentration of S in material B Hence k 1 means S is more soluble. Write down an expression for the flux across the membrane in terms of c, c, DA (diffusion coefficient of S in A) and Aya. Sketch the concentration profile.
