7-67 A liquid of density p and viscosity u is pumped at volume flow rate b through a pump of diameter D. The blades of the pump rotate at angular velocity w. The
pump supplies a pressure rise AP to the liquid. Using dimensional analysis, generate a dimensionless relationship for AP as a function of the other parameters in
the problem. Identify any established nondimensional parameters that appear in your result. Hint: For consistency (and whenever possible), it is wise to choose a
length, a density, and a velocity (or angular velocity) as repeating variables.
When a liquid in a beaker is stired, whirlpool will form and there will be an elevation
difference h, between the center of the liquid surface and the rim of the liquid surface.
Apply the method of repeating variables to generate a dimensional relationship for
elevation difference (h), angular velocity (@) of the whirlpool, fluid density (p).

It accounts for the effect of the fluid particle moving (advecting or convecting) to a new location in the flow, where the velocity field is different. For example, nunan A Çengel | John M. Cinbala consider steady flow of water through a garden hose nozzle (Fig. 4-8). We define steady in the Eulerian frame of reference to be when properties at any point in the flow field do not change with respect to time. Since the velocity at the exit of the nozzle is larger than that at the nozzle entrance, fluid particles clearly accelerate, even though the flow is steady. The accel- eration is nonzero because of the advective acceleration terms in Eq. 4-9.
