The Reynolds transport theorem (RTT) is discussed in Chap. 4 of your textbook. For the general case of a moving and/or deforming control volume, we write the RTT as follows: d pb dV + pbV-ñ dA dt dt dB sys where Vr is the relative velocity, i.e., the velocity of the fluid relative to the control surface. Write the primary dimensions of each additive term in the equation and verify that the equation is dimensionally homogeneous. Show all your work. (Hint: Since B can be any property of the flow-scalar, vector, or even tensor—it can have a variety of dimensions. So, just let the dimensions of B be those of B itself, {B}.

In the field of air pollution control, one often needs to sample the quality of a moving airstream. In such measurements a sampling probe is aligned with the flow as sketched in Fig. A suction pump draws air through the probe at volume flow rate V· as sketched. For accurate sampling, the air speed through the probe should be the same as that of the airstream (isokinetic sampling). However, if the applied suction is too large, as sketched in Fig, the air speed through the probe is greater than that of the airstream (super iso kinetic sampling). For simplicity consider a two-dimensional case in which the sampling probe height is h = 4.58 mm and its width is W = 39.5 mm. The values of the stream function corresponding to the lower and upper dividing streamlines are ?l = 0.093 m2/s and ?u = 0.150 m2/s, respectively. Calculate the volume flow rate through the probe (in units of m3/s) and the average speed of the air sucked through the probe.
