Model tests are to be performed to study the flow through a large check valve having an inlet diameter of 2 feet and a volume flowrate Qp of 30 cfs. The working fluid in the model is water at the sa
A model of a submarine, at 1:15 scale, is to be tested at 0.8 ft/s in a wind tunnel at standard at mospheric pressure, while the prototype will be operated in seawater. Both the air and water are at
Water flows over a dam. Assume the volume flowrate per unit length q along the dam is a function of the head h , width b, acceleration of gravity g, f luid density and the fluid viscosity. Determine
Given the binary variables x1,x2,x3,x4 and x5, formulate a set of constraints that will enforce x3,x4, and x5 to equal one if x1=1 and x2=0.
