Buckingham Pi Theorem Class Problem #3 A model propeller is being tested to determine thrust characteristics....
b) The power input P to be a cerki fugal pump is assumed to be a function of the volume flow , impeller diometer D rotational rate , and the density and MJ CAST of the fluid. By using , and D as repeating von bles) develop this as a dimensionless relationship - d3 - A water solution entering the propeller in the pump produces thrust force, ft which is depending on the density, diameter ,d, the rotational speed, co...
A bridge is supported by two types of rectangular cross-section piles located in a river as shown in Figure 1. The width of the piles is w 0.5 m and their lengths are either l-2 m or 12 = 2.5 m. The river of depth of about 20 m runs at 2 m/s. Water density is ρ = 1000 kg/mand its absolute viscosity 1.00 x 10-3 N.s/m2 You are asked to perform dimensional analysis to find the drag force on...
