A high-speed boat is powered by a water jet pump engine, similar to a jet engine on airplanes. The engine takes in water at the bow through a tube with diameter 1 ft, and the water is pumped out the stern of the boat through a 3-in diameter tube. The flow rate is 5000 gpm. Neglecting any frictional loss, find: (a) the thrust force of the engine; (b) the maximum speed of the boat, if the drag coefficient is 0.005 with a corresponding projected area of 500 ft2; (c) If the pump is 100% efficient, how many hp are required?

Determine the rate of heat transfer from the air : Air enters the evaporator at 14.7 psia and 90 F with a volumetric flow rate of 200 ft3/min. Refrigerant 134a at 20 psia with a quality of 30 % enters the evaporator at a rate of 4 lbm/min and leaves as saturated vapor at the same pressure. Assume ste..

Consider a cylindrical specimen of a steel alloy : Consider a cylindrical specimen of a steel alloy 8.0 mm (0.3150 in.) in diameter and 89 mm (3.504 in.) long that is pulled in tension. Determine its elongation when a load of 57810 n (13000 lbf) is applied. The tensile stress-strain behavior for this..

Determine the power rating of the electric heater immersed : You are assigned to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is 2 m deep, 20 m long and 20 m wide. The client desires that the heating system be large enough to raise the water temperature from 2 C to 3C in 2 hours. The rate of heat loss from..

Determine the distance from the leading edge of the plate : Air at 25°C and 1 atm is flowing over a long flat plate with a velocity of 8 m/s. Determine the distance from the leading edge of the plate where the flow becomes turbulent, and the thickness of the boundary layer at that location.

Find the thrust force of the engine : A high-speed boat is powered by a water jet pump engine, similar to a jet engine on airplanes. The engine takes in water at the bow through a tube with diameter 1 ft, and the water is pumped out the stern of the boat through a 3-in diameter tube.

Determine the displacement of the vertical edge : A rectangular material sample (2 in tall and 1 in wide) is subjected to a vertical tensile stress of 50,000 psi on its upper edge. The bottom edge of the sample is constrained from displacing in the vertical, or y, direction but is free to expand or ..
