- When a sphere falls freely through a homogeneous fluid, it reaches a terminal velocity at which the weight of the sphere is balanced by the buoyant force and the frictional resistance of the fluid. Make a dimensional analysis of this problem and indicate how experimental data for this problem could be correlated. Neglect compressibility effects and the influence of surface roughness.arrow_forwardA simply supported beam of diameter D, length L, and modulus of elasticity E is subjected to a fluid crossflow of velocity V, density p, and viscosity u. Its center deflection & is assumed to be a function of all these variables. Part A-Rewrite this proposed function in dimensionless form.arrow_forwardProblem 1: The discharge pressure (P) of a centrifugal pump shown below is a function of flow rate (Q), impeller diameter (D), fluid density (p), and impeller angular speed (12).

The drag force, fd, on a sphere located in a pipe through which a fluid is flowing is to be determined experimentally. Assume that the drag is a function of the sphere diameter, d, the pipe diameter, D, the fluid velocity, V, and the fluid density, p.
