Chapter 5 Problem 5.45

Question

part a only Consider the simplified form of the continuity equation, Eq. 5.29 on p. 183 of 5.3. An engineer is using this equation to find the Qc of a creek at the confluence with a large river because she has automatic electronic measurements of the river discharge upstream, ORu and downstream, QRd of the creek confluence. a. Which of the three terms on the left-hand side of Eq. 5.29 will the engineer assume is zero? Why? b. Sketch the creek and the river and sketch the CV you would select to solve this problem.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: part a only Consider the simplified form of the continuity equation, Eq. 5.29 on p. 183 of 5.3. An engineer is using this equation to find the Qc of a creek at the confluence with a large river because she has automatic electronic measurements of the river discharge upstream, ORu and downstream, QRd of the creek confluence. a. Which of the three terms on the left-hand side of Eq. 5.29 will the engineer assume is zero? Why? b. Sketch the creek and the river and sketch the CV you would select to solve this problem.
From the textbook chapter CONTROL VOLUME APPROACH AND CONTINUITY EQUATION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
