HOMEWORK #3 SOLUTION

1. The hypothetical velocity distribution in a circular duct is


‫ݒ‬ሺ‫ݎ‬ሻ
ൗܸҿ = 1- ‫ݎ‬ൗܴ , where r is the radial location in the duct,

R is the duct radius, and Vҿ is the velocity on the axis. Find


the ratio of mean velocity to center line velocity V0.
(Answer:1/3)

2. Air enters this square duct at section 1 with the velocity distribution as shown as v(y)=V0 (1-
y/H), where, H=0.5m, V0=10m/s. The square width into paper is 1m. Find mass flow rate.
(Answer: 6.0 kg/s)
