A certain small river has an average width of 60 feet and a depth of 4 feet.This river carries water at 700 cubic feet per second. A model should be designed based on the similarity of the Froude number to the purpose that the discharge scale is 1/250. At what depth and flow would the model operate?

PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. What is the theoretical power output of the turbine assuming 100% efficiency of operation? Your answer must be in kW and in two decimal places with correct signs. In the previous problem, if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s and if the error measurement for theoretical power output must be limited to 3%, WHY OR WHY NOT should you accept the design? * Show complete solution in paper.
Engineers are worried about the wind forces on a sculpture in Queen Mary campus. The sculpture has a height Ha = 5 m and a diameter, Da = 2 m, as shown in Figure Q3. The engineers decide to investigate making a smaller scale model testing in a water tunnel. They need to match the Reynolds number and the aspect ratio, AR = H/D. The characteristic length scale in the Reynolds number can be the diameter. Water has a density and viscosity of pw = 1000 kg/m3 and μw = 1 mPa. s, while air has a density and viscosity of pa = 1.2 kg/m3 and μa = 18 x 10-6 Pa. s. The average wind speed by the sculpture is Ua = 6 m/s. 1. The maximum height of the model that the engineers can place in the water tunnel is 1.5 m. Find the diameter of the model needed. 2. Find the average speed of water needed for the experiments to match the average wind speed past the sculpture. 3. It is known that at a wind speed of Ua = 4 m/s, the flow past the sculpture becomes turbulent. To visualise the flow in the experiments,…
The flow rate in a rectangular open channel can be measured by placing a plate along the channel as seen in the figure. This type of artifact is called "weir".The height of the water, H, above the ridge is referred to as "head" and can be used to determine the flow through the channel. Assume that flow Q is a function of H, channel width, b, and gravity, g.Determine a correct array of dimensionless variables for this problem.
PLEASE BOX YOUR ANSWERS Problem-3 The water flowrate, Q in an open rectangular channel is a function of height, H, the channel width, b, and gravity, g.
