10 The Reynolds number is a dimensionless fluid flow in pipes. The Reynolds number is defincd as DVp Re where D, is the inside diameter of the pipe, V is the average velocity of the fluid in the pipe, p is the fluid density and u is the absolute viscosity of the fluid. For flow in pipes, a Reynolds number of less than 2000 indicates that the flow is laminar, while a value of greater than 10,000 indicates that the flow is turbulent. For a pipe diameter of 5 em, and fluid of density 1 g/cm and viscosity of 1 centipoise, find the minimum velocity that results in turbulent flow.

The Reynolds number is a dimensionless group defined for a fluid flowing in a pipe as Re = Duplu where Dis pipe diameter, u is fluid velocity, p is fluid density, and u is fluid viscosity. When the value of the Reynolds number is less than about 2100, the flow is laminarthat is, the fluid flows in smooth streamlines. For Reynolds numbers above 2100, the flow is turbulent, characterized by a great deal of agitation. Liquid methyl ethylketone (MEK) flows through a pipe with an inner diameter of 2.067 inches at an average velocity of 0.48 ft/s. At the fluid temperature of 20°C the density of liquid MEK is 0.805 g/cm? and the viscosity is 0.43 centipoise [1 cP = 1.00 x 10-³ kg/(m-s)]. Without using a calculator, determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. Show your calculations.

The absolute viscosity () unit is the poise, I poise = 1 gtem. s). The kinematic viscosity (v) unit is the stohes, I stokes = 1 em /s. Water at 20C has u = 001 poise and also V= 0.01 stokes. Express these resalts in (a) SI and (h) BG tanits.
(6) A dimensionless group called the Reynolds number is defined for a flow in a pipe or tube DV p NRe %3D uV/D Where V is the average velocity in the pipe, p is the fluid density, u is the fluid viscosity, D is the tube diameter. The second form of the group indicates that it is a ratio of the convective (turbulent) momentum flux to the molecular (viscous) momentum flux, or the ratio of inertial forces (which are destabilizing) to viscous forces (which are stabilizing). When viscous forces dominate over inertial forces, the flow is laminar and fluid elements flow in smooth, straight streamlines, whereas when inertial forces dominate, the flow is unstable and the flow pattern break up into random fluctuating eddies It is found that laminar flow in a pipe occurs as long as the value of Reynolds number is less than 2000. Calculate the maximum velocity and the corresponding flow rate (in cm'/s) at which lamina: tlow of water is possible in tubes with the following diameters: 0.64, 1.27,…
Thermal conductivity k is a measure of the ability of a material to conduct heat. For conduction heat transfer in the x-direction through a surface normal to the x-direction, Fourier’s law of heat conduction is expressed as: Q=-kA.dT/dx where ?̇ is the rate of heat transfer and A is the area normal to the direction of heat transfer. Determine the primary dimensions of thermal conductivity (k). Look up a value of k and verify that its SI units are consistent with your result. Write a set of primary SI units for k.

1) At any time, approximately 20 volcanoes are actively erupting on the Earth, and 50–70 volcanoes erupt each year. Over the past 100 years, an average of 850 people have died each year from volcano eruptions. As scientists and engineers study the mechanics of lava flow, accurately predicting the flow rate (velocity) of the lava is critical to saving lives after an eruption. Jeffrey's equation captures the relationship between flow rate and viscosity as: Flow V = Pgt sin(@) 28 сm 10 where p is the density of the lava, g is gravity, t is the flow thickness, a is the slope, and u is the lava viscosity. Typical values are given as follows for the flow rate: u= 4x103 kg/(m.s) ±1% p= 2.5 g/cm³ ±1% t= 28 cm +0.5 cm a= 10° +1 ° g= 9.81 m/s?
