Start from the following equations from class notes (treat as given): The shear stress in pipe flow T = -μ- dr du 16 [1-(-)²), AP D² 16μL The fluid velocity in the pipe u = Derive clearly the following results: (a) The shear stress on the wall of the pipe, Tw. (b) The average velocity in the pipe flow, ū. (c) The Darcy friction factor, defined by f where L is the length of the pipe. 8 tw pū² (d) Express the result of (c) in terms of the Reynolds number, Re. (e) Find an expression for the head loss due to shear stress at the wall, AH₁, in terms of f,u, D and L. (f) What are the main assumptions in the fluid flow, in order to analyse the flow in this way?arrow_forwardThe velocity of the fluid flowing in a pipe with a radius of 10 cm was measured at certain points and the following table values were obtained. r=the distance of the measurement points to the center of the pipe (m) v=measured speeds (m/s) Accordingly, calculate the velocity value for r = 0.07 m by using 3rd order interpolation with the help of appropriate points that make the error minimum. In calculations, take 4 digits after the comma.arrow_forwardA cart weighing 0.5 kg is drawn up a smooth 45° incline by a motor, M, winding up a cable. The force in the cable can be expressed as 5t² N, where t is in seconds. When t = 0, the displacement s = 0 and the initial velocity is 3 m/s. Find the cart's velocity when t = 2 seconds. > Draw a very clear FBD of the cart that you can use to write the equations of motion > Write the equations governing the cart's motion along the incline. Use axes parallel and perpendicular to the incline. Find the velocity requestedarrow_forward
- For a venturi meter given below, the volumetric flow rate is defined in terms of the geometrical parameters, the density of working fluid (p), and density of the manometer liquid (pm) as 4.

I am planning to perform some volume-flow rate measurements in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. For this, I need a volumetric measuring tank (graduated cylinder) and a stopwatch. I considered the volume of the measured tank as 15 gallons and a stopwatch with reaction time as 1/10th of a second (though resolution of 1/1000th of a second). What is the volume flow rate if it takes 5 minutes to fill a 15-gallon of tank? Determine the smallest division to be on the tank in order to estimate the volume flow rate within an accuracy of ± 0.05 gpm.arrow_forward
- When a model rocket is launched, the propellant burns for a few seconds, accelerating the rocket upward. After burnout, the rocket coasts upward for a while and then begins to fall. A small explosive charge pops out a parachute shortly after the rocket starts down. The parachute slows the rocket to keep it from breaking when it lands. The figure here shows the velocity data from the flight of the model rocket. Use the data to complete parts (a) through (g).
