Consider the motion of a uniform disk rotat­ ing about a fixed axis passing through its center of gravity C perpendicular to the face of the disk, as shown in Figure 11-1. The motion of this disk may be de­ scribed in terms of the motions of each of its individual particles, but a better way to describe the motion is in terms of the angle through which the disk rotates.

  • Rotation: Moment of Inertia and Torque
    Rotation: Moment of Inertia and Torque Every time we push a door open or tighten a bolt using a wrench, we apply a force that results in a rotational motion about a fixed axis. Through experience we learn that where the force is applied and how the force is applied is just as important as how much force is applied when we want to make something rotate. This tutorial discusses the dynamics of an object rotating about a fixed axis and introduces the concepts of torque and moment of inertia. These concepts allows us to get a better understanding of why pushing a door towards its hinges is not very a very effective way to make it open, why using a longer wrench makes it easier to loosen a tight bolt, etc. This module begins by looking at the kinetic energy of rotation and by defining a quantity known as the moment of inertia which is the rotational analog of mass. Then it proceeds to discuss the quantity called torque which is the rotational analog of force and is the physical quantity that is required to changed an object's state of rotational motion. Moment of Inertia Kinetic Energy of Rotation Consider a rigid object rotating about a fixed axis at a certain angular velocity. Since every particle in the object is moving, every particle has kinetic energy. To find the total kinetic energy related to the rotation of the body, the sum of the kinetic energy of every particle due to the rotational motion is taken. The total kinetic energy can be expressed as ..

  • Chapter 8: Rotational Motion
    TODAY: Start Chapter 8 on Rotation Chapter 8: Rotational Motion Linear speed: distance traveled per unit of time. In rotational motion we have linear speed: depends where we (or an object) is located in the circle. If you ride near the outside of a merry-go-round, do you go faster or slower than if you ride near the middle? It depends on whether “faster” means -a faster linear speed (= speed), ie more distance covered per second, Or - a faster rotational speed (=angular speed, ω), i.e. more rotations or revolutions per second. • Linear speed of a rotating object is greater on the outside, further from the axis (center) Perimeter of a circle=2r •Rotational speed is the same for any point on the object – all parts make the same # of rotations in the same time interval. More on rotational vs tangential speed For motion in a circle, linear speed is often called tangential speed – The faster the ω, the faster the v in the same way v ~ ω. directly proportional to − ω doesn’t depend on where you are on the circle, but v does: v ~ r He’s got twice the linear speed than this guy. Same RPM (ω) for all these people, but different tangential speeds. Clicker Question A carnival has a Ferris wheel where the seats are located halfway between the center and outside rim. Compared with a Ferris wheel with seats on the outside rim, your angular speed while riding on this Ferris wheel would be A) more and your tangential speed less. B) the same and your tangential speed less.

Ruzicka ∗ Department of Multiphase Reactors, Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals, Czech Academy of Sciences, Rozvojova 135, 16502 Prague, Czech Republic This contribution is dedicated to Kamil Admiral´ Wichterle, a professor of chemical engineering, who admitted to feel a bit lost in the jungle of the dimensionless numbers, in our seminar at “Za Plıhalovic´ ohradou” abstract The goal is to provide a little review on dimensionless numbers, commonly encountered in chemical engineering. Both their sources are considered: dimensional analysis and scaling of governing equations with boundary con- ditions. The numbers produced by scaling of equation are presented for transport of momentum, heat and mass. Momentum transport is considered in both single-phase and multi-phase flows. The numbers obtained are assigned the physical meaning, and their mutual relations are highlighted. Certain drawbacks of building correlations based on dimensionless numbers are pointed out. © 2008 The Institution of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Module 6 : Lecture 1 DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS (Part – I) Overview
    NPTEL – Mechanical – Principle of Fluid Dynamics Module 6 : Lecture 1 DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS (Part – I) Overview Many practical flow problems of different nature can be solved by using equations and analytical procedures, as discussed in the previous modules. However, solutions of some real flow problems depend heavily on experimental data and the refinements in the analysis are made, based on the measurements. Sometimes, the experimental work in the laboratory is not only time-consuming, but also expensive. So, the dimensional analysis is an important tool that helps in correlating analytical results with experimental data for such unknown flow problems. Also, some dimensionless parameters and scaling laws can be framed in order to predict the prototype behavior from the measurements on the model. The important terms used in this module may be defined as below; Dimensional Analysis: The systematic procedure of identifying the variables in a physical phenomena and correlating them to form a set of dimensionless group is known as dimensional analysis. Dimensional Homogeneity: If an equation truly expresses a proper relationship among variables in a physical process, then it will be dimensionally homogeneous. The equations are correct for any system of units and consequently each group of terms in the equation must have the same dimensional representation. This is also known as the law of dimensional homogeneity. Dimensional variables: These are the quantities, which actually vary during a given case and can be plotted against each other. Dimensional constants: These are normally held constant during a given run. But, they may vary from case to case. Pure constants: They have no dimensions, but, while performing the mathematical manipulation, they can arise.
