Tainter gates are often used to control the flow of water through spillways. As seen in these figures, they can be rotated to allow varying amounts of water through the spillway. Let us model the illustrated spillway wherein the spillway half width 190 cm, Tainter gate radius 180 cm, water height (above the bottom of the Tainter gate) 160 cm. Determine the weight in N of the water over the half gate. N Determine the ground reaction force in N acting on the Tainter gate at the pivot point due to the water pressure. (Hint: What direction is the pressure force acting

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Afluid flows with a velocity field given by v=(x/t)i.. determine the local and convective accelerations when x=3 and t=1.
