3.119 This problem involves the calibration of a nozzle-type
flow meter. To proceed with this problem, go to Appendix H which
is located on the book’s web site, www.wiley.com/college/munson.
3.120 This problem involves the pressure distribution in a twodimensional
channel. To proceed with this problem, go to Appendix
H which is located on the book’s web site, www.wiley.com/
college/munson.
3.121 This problem involves the determination of the flowrate under
a sluice gate as a function of the water depth. To proceed with
this problem, go to Appendix H which is located on the book’s web
site, www.wiley.com/college/munson.
■ Life Long Learning Problems
3.122 The concept of the use of a Pitot-static tube to measure the
airspeed of an airplane is rather straightforward. However, the design
and manufacture of reliable, accurate, inexpensive Pitot-static
tube airspeed indicators is not necessarily simple. Obtain information
about the design and construction of modern Pitot-static tubes.
Summarize your findings in a brief report.
3.123 In recent years damage due to hurricanes has been significant,
particularly in the southeastern United States. The low barometric
pressure, high winds, and high tides generated by hurricanes
can combine to cause considerable damage. According to
some experts, in the coming years hurricane frequency may increase
because of global warming. Obtain information about the
fluid mechanics of hurricanes. Summarize your findings in a brief
report.
3.124 Orifice, nozzle, or Venturi flow meters have been used for a
long time to predict accurately the flowrate in pipes. However, recently
there have been several new concepts suggested or used for
such flowrate measurements. Obtain information about new methods
to obtain pipe flowrate information. Summarize your findings
in a brief report.
3.125 Ultra-high-pressure, thin jets of liquids can be used to cut
various materials ranging from leather to steel and beyond. Obtain
information about new methods and techniques proposed for
liquid jet cutting and investigate how they may alter various
manufacturing processes. Summarize your findings in a brief
report.
