Question: 1 1 . 6 ( Welty 1 1 . 1 2 , 9 p t s ) In natural - convection problems, the variation of

11.6(Welty 11.12,9pts) In natural-convection problems, the variation of density due to the temperature
difference T creates an important buoyancy term in the momentum equation. If a warm gas at TH moves
through a gas at temperature T0 and if the density change is only due to temperature changes, the equation
of motion becomes
DvDt=-gradP+grad2v+g(THT0-1)
Show that the ratio of gravity (buoyancy) to inertial forces acting on a fluid element is
Lgv02(THT0-1)
where L and v0 are reference length and velocity, respectively.
11.7(Welty 11.14,6pts) During the development of a 300-ft ship, it is desired to test a 10% scale model
in a towing tank to determine the drag.characteristics of the hull. Determine how the model is to be
tested if the Froude number is to be duplicated.

13.1(Welty 13.4,6pts) A 280-km-long pipeline connects two pumping stations. If 0.56m3s are to be
pumped through a 0.62-m-diameter line, the discharge station is 250 m lower in elevation than the
upstream station, and the discharge pressure is to be maintained at 300,000Pa, determine the power
required to pump the oil. The oil has a kinematic viscosity of 4.510-6m2s and a density of 810
kgm3. The pipe is constructed of commercial steel. The inlet pressure may be taken as atmospheric.
13.2(Welty 13.7,12pts) The cold-water faucet in a house is fed from a water main through the
following simplified piping system:
a. A 160 ft length of 34-in-ID copper pipe leading from the main line to the base of the faucet.
b. Six 90 standard elbows.
c. One wide-open angle valve (with no obstruction).
d. The faucet. Consider the faucet to be made up of two parts: (1) a conventional globe valve and (2) a
nozzle having a cross-sectional area of 0.10in2.
The pressure in the main line is 60 psig (virtually independent of flow), and the velocity there is
negligible. Find the maximum rate of discharge from the faucet. As a first try, assume for the pipe fS
0.007. Neglect changes in elevation throughout the system.
13.3(Welty 13.8,6pts) Water at the rate of 118ft3min flows through a smooth horizontal tube 250 ft
long. The pressure drop is 4.55 psi . Determine the tube diameter.
13.4(Welty 13.13,12pts) A cast-iron pipeline 2 m long is required to carry 3 million gal of water per
day. The outlet is 175 ft higher than the inlet. The costs of three sizes of pipe when in place are as
follows:
10-in diameter $11.40 per ft
12-in diameter $14.70 pet ft
14-in diameter $16.80 per ft
Power costs are estimated at $0.07 per kilowatt hour over the 20-year life of the pipeline. If the line can
be bonded with 6.0% annual interest, what is the most economical pipe diameter? The pump efficiency is
80%, and the water inlet temperature is expected to be constant at 42F.
