Estimate the 99% boundary layer thickness in the following cases (1) A light breeze over a flat building roof (length=15 m, velocity=5 m/s) (2) A wind passing over an ocean (length=2km, velocity=150 km/h) The kinematic viscosity of air is 1.5x10^(-5) m^2/s. Calculate the Reynolds number based on the boundary layer thickness (instead of the length scale shown above) and the velocity scale in these flows. We assume these flows to be laminar. Choose two answers for the results.

How many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a light balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take Hc = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression pair = 0e-z/8 000, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.
Why is the Earths atmosphere denser near sea level than it is at a high altitude? Be sure to explain why the atmospheres density is not uniform and why the air isnt all in contact with the Earths surface.
A manometer containing water with one end connected to a container of gas has a column height difference of 0.60 m (Fig. P15.72). If the atmospheric pressure on the right column is 1.01 105 Pa, find the absolute pressure of the gas in the container. The density of water is 1.0 103 kg/m3. FIGURE P15.72

Review. (a) Derive an expression for the buoyant force on a spherical balloon, submerged in water, as a function of the depth h below the surface, the volume Vi of the balloon at the surface, the pressure P0 at the surface, and the density w of the water. Assume the water temperature does not change with depth, (b) Does the bouyant force increase or decrease as the balloon is submerged? (c) At what depth is the buoyant force one-half the surface value?
(a) Given that air is 21% oxygen, find the minimum atmospheric pressure that gives a relatively safe partial pressure of oxygen of 0.16 atm. (b) What is the minimum pressure that gives a partial pressure of oxygen above the quickly fatal level of 0.06 atm? (c) The air pressure at the summit of Mount Everest (8848 m) is 0.334 atm. Why have a few people climbed it without oxygen, while some who have tried, even though they had trained at high elevation, had to tum back?

A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed chamber in which the air pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure. These chambers are usually fitted with glass viewing ports so the medical staff can monitor the patient inside. If the radius of one such viewing port is 10 cm, and the pressure inside the chamber is 2 times atmospheric pressure, then what is the approximate outward force on the viewing port due to the air inside?
