ABSTRACT
Problems and solutions presented in this chapter will help the readers master the techniques of control volume analyses of the conservation laws of mass, linear momentum, angular momentum, and energy. They include finding the maximum water level in a tank with inflow and outflow, computing the force of a jet impinging on a flat plat, calculating the thrust produced by a firehose nozzle, calculating the force on a wooden log of square cross-section in a two-dimensional flow, analyzing the mixing of two incompressible turbulent flows in an ejector, solving a dad’s garden hose dilemma, finding the effective average moody friction factor for an annulus flow with different relative roughness on inner and outer walls, calculating the recovery in static pressure and loss in total pressure for a laminar pipe flow entering a sudden axisymmetric expansion, analyzing accelerating carts with constant and variable outflow, and analyzing a lawn sprinkler with two unequal arms. Detailed discussions of various concepts behind the problems and solutions presented in this chapter may be found in Fluid Mechanics: An Intermediate Approach by Bijay K. Sultanian, published by Taylor & Francis in 2015.
