You are employed as a mechanical engineer within an unnamed research center, specializing in the development
of innovative air conditioning systems. Your division is tasked with providing computer-based modeling and
design solutions using computational fluid dynamics through ANSYS software. Your primary responsibilities
involve the analysis of horizontal channel dynamics to meet specific criteria. Under the guidance of your
immediate supervisor, you have been assigned unique responsibilities within an ongoing project. As a member of
the research team, your role includes constructing an appropriate model and executing a sequence of simulation
iterations to explore and enhance channel performance. Figure 1 provides a visualization of the horizontal channel
under consideration. Consider 2D, incompressible, steady flow in a horizontal channel at a Reynolds number of
150. The schematic below illustrates the channel flow, not drawn to scale. For simplicity, neglect gravity. The

In chapter 12, we found the velocity profile for flow around a sphere using the
creeping flow approximation. For the flow, derive the velocity profile for V, and Ve.
Also, find the pressure distribution P. Finally, find the drag force acting on the sphere.
(Hint: use the following integration ranges (1) 0<0<â and (2) 0<ô<2à). You can use
all the assumptions that we made for this flow in the class.

In addition, they made extensive use of a homebuilt wind tunnel to test their wing designs. span, b chord, c Model of Wright Flyer (a) The Wright's wind-tunnel models had chord length, c, of about 0.04 m and wing span (length) of 0.26 m. The wind tunnel operated at approximately the same wind speed as the full-scale aircraft - about 13 m/s. Estimate the drag (friction) of a single wind-tunnel model wing under standard conditions (o = 1.225 kg/m³, = 1.7894 x 10-³ kg/s-m). Note that the wing is mounted in the wind tunnel so that both upper and lower surfaces are exposed to the flow. (b) The full-scale 1903 flyer had a chord length of 1.9 m and a wing span of 12.3 m.

However there is no fluid with zero viscosity in the world except some peculiar fluid at very low temperature. Bernoulli equation or inviscid flow theory is still a very important branch of fluid dynamics for the following reasons: (i) (ii) There is wide region of flow where the velocity gradient is zero and so the viscous effect does not manifest itself, such as in external flow past an un- stalled aerofoil. The conservation of useful energy allows the conversion of kinetic and potential energy to pressure and hence pressure force acting normal to the control volume or system boundary even though the tangential friction stress is absent. It allows the estimation of losses in internal pipe flow. (A) (i) and (ii) (B) (i) and (iii) (ii) and (iii) All of the above (C) (D)arrow_forward
- Wind provides an increasingly important source of renewable energy in certain locations of the world. In fact, wind was the second largest renewable energy source worldwide (after hydropower!) and provided more than six percent of global electricity in 2020; in the U.S. that number was 8.4%. Suppose that wind turbines can convert up to 30% of the kinetic energy of incoming wind blowing through their blades into electricity (i.e., useful shaft work). In the following, we will analyze the power output of a wind turbine with a diameter of d 80 m placed at an offshore location where the wind blows steadily at an average speed of 20 knots. Explicitly state all relevant approximations or assumptions. = (a) Draw a diagram that includes appropriate elements for assessing the amount of work extracted from the wind turbine.
