In low-speed external water flow over a bluff object, vortices are shed from the object. The vortex shedding produced by a particular object is to be studied in a water tunnel at a 1/4 scale model (model 1/4 the size of the prototype). After a dimensional study, it is found that the Pi terms of this phenomenon are the Reynolds number and the Strouhal number:Re = pVd/muSt = fd/Vwhere f is the frequency of the vortex shedding, V the velocity of the flow, d the characteristic length of the object, and p and mu the density and viscosity of the flow. 1. If the prototype speed is 7 m/s, determine the water velocity in the tunnel for the model tests. 2. If the model tests of part 1 produced a model shedding frequency of 200 Hz, determine the expected vortex shedding frequency on the prototype.

Areheat rankine cycle operates with water as the working fluid. steam enters the first turbine at 8 mpa and 450°c and exits at 0.8 mpa. it is then reheated to 400°c before entering the second turbine, where it exits at 10 kpa. if the amount of work into the pump is 8.04 kj/kg and the net work per cycle produced is 1410.25 kj/kg, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
