Final Assignment of this ICA: You have done several observation exercises. In these, you thought of observation as just a “stream of consciousness” with no regard to organization of your efforts. With your previous observation as a basis, generalize the search for observations into several (three to six or so) categories. The use of these categories should make the construction of a list of observations easier in the future.
Analyze the following problems using the SOLVEM method.
ICA 6-4
What diameter will produce a maximum discharge velocity of a liquid through an orifice on the side at the bottom of the cylindrical container? Consider diameters ranging from 0.2 to 2 meters.
Analyze the given problem using SOLVEM method and find out the diameter which will produce maximum discharge velocity of a liquid through the orifice.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The problem has been solved using the SOLVEM method as follows.
Sketch:
The arrangement of cylindrical container is drawn as shown in Figure 1.
Objective:
Calculate the diameter to produce maximum velocity in a cylinder orifice.
Observations:
- The fluid is pushed out of the orifice because of the force of gravity acting on it.
- Fluid exits the tank horizontally.
- The speed of the discharge of the fluid increases with the increase in depth.
- Larger the container, more will the amount of liquid contained in it.
- Also, the liquid content in the container increase with the increase in depth.
List Variables:
A is area of the container,
D is diameter of the container
g is Acceleration due to gravity
KE is kinetic energy,
m is mass of the fluid,
PE is potential energy,
V is velocity of the fluid, and
Equations:
Consider the expression for density.
Here,
Consider the expression for area of a circle.
Here,
Consider the expression for potential energy.
Here,
Consider the expression for kinetic energy.
Here,
The potential energy of the small volume of the fluid at surface will be equal to kinetic energy of the fluid which exits. Therefore,
Equate equation (3) and equation (4) as follows.
Manipulate:
The mass in the equation present on both the sides of the equation cancel out each other.
Rearrange the equation above to solve for V.
Therefore from the answer we see that the velocity is independent of the diameter of the container.
Conclusion:
Hence, the velocity is independent of the diameter of the container.

- You own a wheat warehouse with a capacity of 20,000bushels. At the beginning of month 1, you have 6,000 bushels of wheat. Each month, wheat can be bought and sold at theprice per 1000 bushels given in Table 46.The sequence of events during each month is as follows:a You observe your initial stock of wheat.b You can sell any amount of wheat up to your initialstock at the current month’s selling price.c You can buy (at the current month’s buying price) asmuch wheat as you want, subject to the warehouse sizelimitation.Your goal is to formulate an LP that can be used to determine how to maximize the profit earned over the next 10monthsarrow_forward5.Design a system to measure the bending moment (up and down) and torque in the tail boom of the human-powered aircraft shown below.

Based on recent data, you learned that one of the leading causes of road accidents is over speeding.In your desire to minimize road accidents, you went out to observe how traffic management rules are implemented on the streets. Your attention was caught by a fast - moving car that seemed to be breaking the speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour(km/hr.), and so you followed it along the highway. After a short time, the driver of the car noticed you and started to slow down. Eventually, he stopped on the side of the road. Supposed the speed of the car had been noted during this time and is modeled by the quadratic equation y = 3x² + 17x - 20, where y represents the speed of the car in km/hr. and x represents the number of minutes after you started following the car. How long did it take for the car to be under surveillance before it could finally stop on the side of the road? Did the driver…arrow_forward
