MEC241 Assignment 1

1. The document discusses 4 engineering problems involving fluid mechanics. 2. The first problem involves compressing carbon dioxide and calculating changes in pressure, temperature, and density. 3. The second problem calculates the viscous force on a hydraulic ram moving within a cylinder. 4. The third problem determines the density of seawater at a depth of 8 km below the ocean surface given pressure and density conditions. 5. The fourth problem calculates shear stress and force on oil between two parallel plates given viscosity, velocity profile, and plate dimensions.

MEC 241 Assignments 1 By: Mr. Chiang Ee Pin Submission Date: 14 January 2014 1. Carbon dioxide (g = 1.

3 ) is compressed isentropically to one quarter of its original volume from an initial pressure of 200 kPa. What is the final pressure? By how much has the temperature and density changed in percentage terms? (Perfect Gas Law; 12.126; 51.6;400.2) 2. A hydraulic ram of 200 mm diameter and 1.2 m length moves entirely within a concentric cylinder of 200.2 mm diameter. The annular clearance is filled with oil of relative density 0.85 and kinematic viscosity 400 mm2/s. What is the viscous force resisting the motion when the ram move at 120 mm/s?

HYDRAULIC RAM (definition of viscosity; assuming linear velocity profile; 307.6) 3. Eight kilometres below the surface of the ocean the pressure is 81.7 MPa. Determine the density of sea-water at this depth if the density at the surface is 1025 kg/m3 and the average bulk modulus of elasticity is 2.34 GPa. The atmospheric pressure at the surface may be taken as 1 bar. What is the specific gravity? (1.06) 4. The space between two square flat parallel plates is filled with oil with specific weight of 9450 kg/m2s2. The area for each of the plate is 2500 cm 2. The thickness off the oil film is 15.5 mm. The velocity profile of the oil flow is given by

in which u is the velocity in meter per second at a distance y meter above the plate. Take the kinematic viscosity of fluid as 5.6 X 10-4 m2/s, determine the shear stess and shear force subjected at y = mm and y = 15.5 mm. (definition of viscosity; used the velocity profile given)
