Chap 11:

A wind turbine with two or four hollow hemispherical cups connected to a pivot is commonly used to
measure wind speed. Consider a wind turbine with two 8-cm-diameter cups with a center-to-center
distance of 25 cm, as shown in Fig. P11–35. The pivot is stuck as a result of some malfunction, and the
cups stop rotating. For a wind speed of 15 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m3, determine the maximum
torque this turbine applies on the pivot.
Q2) A person extends his uncovered arms into the windy air outside at 1 atm and 60°F and 20 mi/h in
order to feel nature closely. Treating the arm as a 2-ft-long and 3-indiameter cylinder, determine the
dragforce on both arms.
Q3) A small airplane has a total mass of 1800 kg and a wing area of 42 m2. Determine the lift and drag
coefficients of this airplane while cruising at an altitude of 4000 m at a constant speed of 280 km/h and
generating 190 kW of power.
Q4) A submarine can be treated as an ellipsoid with a diameter of 5 m and a length of 25 m. Determine
the power required for this submarine to cruise horizontally and steadily at 40 km/h in seawater whose
density is 1025 kg/m3. Also determine the power required to tow this submarine in air whose density is
1.30 kg/m3. Assume the flow is turbulent in both cases.

Q1) A clean-earth trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 1.5 m and a side surface slope of 1:1 is to
drain water uniformly at a rate of 8 m3/s to a distance of 1 km. If the flow depth is not to exceed 1 m,
determine the required elevation drop.
Q2) A water draining system with a constant slope of 0.0015 is to be built of three circular channels
made of finished concrete. Two of the channels have a diameter of 1.2 m and drain into the third
channel. If all channels are to run half-full and the losses at the junction are negligible, determine the
diameter of the third channel.
