Answer the Following Questions

:‫اﻟﻔﺻل‬ :‫اﻹﺳم‬

Prob. (1)
The boat in the figure, is jet-propelled by a pump which
develops a volume flow rate Q and ejects water out the
stern at velocity Vj. If the boat drag force is F= kV2, where
k is a constant, develop a formula for the steady forward
speed V of the boat.

Prob. (2)
The three-arm lawn sprinkler, shown in the figure, receives water through the center
at 2.7 m3/h. The collar friction is negligible,
Calculate the steady rotational speed in rpm for: (a) θ = 0o, and (b) θ = 40o
Prob. (3)
A constant-thickness film of oil flows in laminar motion down a plate
inclined at angle θ, as in the figure. Generate expressions for the
velocity field and the volume flow rate per unit width of oil falling
down the wall as a function of ρ, μ, h, and g. Also, calculate the
volume flow rate per unit width for an oil film of thickness 5.0 mm
with ρ = 888 kg/m3, μ = 0.80 kg/m·s and θ= 60°.
