Question
Sulphuric acid is flowing through a pipe (2.5 inch diameter, 50 ft length) in a velocity of 0.006
m3
/s. The sulphuric acid has a viscosity of 25 mN.s/m2
and density of 1680 kg/m3 while the
roughness of the pipe surface is 1.3 mm. If the operating temperature is 290K, determine fluid
flow (i.e. laminar, turbulent or others). (Given that 1 m = 39.37 inch)

- 4. Consider two-dimensional, laminar, unidirectional flow between parallel (spacing: 2h), vertical plates. One plate, to the left, is moving downward with constant velocity vi; the other is moving upward at a constant velocity v2. If we consider the fluid Newtonian, solve for the velocity profile using our newly defined Navier-Stokes Eqns.arrow_forwardThe laminar flow of water in a small pipe is given by where R = 0.5 cm is the pipe radius, and Umax = 20 cm/s. Assume the temperature is 15°C. (a) Find the wall shear stress. (b) Find the pressure drop in a 10 cm length of the pipe. (c) Verify that the flow is indeed laminar.arrow_forwardAs shown in the accompanying figure, a thin flat plate rests on top of a film of ambient temperature (i.e. 20 °C) water. When a small force F is applied to this plate, the velocity profile within the water film can be described as vx = 40y-800y² where y is the distance (m) from the bottom stationary plate. a. Show that velocity equation satisfies the 'no-slip' conditions that must exist for both the top moving plate and bottom stationary plate. b.

- Air at 300 K flows across one side of a flat plate at a velocity of 15 m/s. The plate measures 2.0 m in the direction of flow and 1.0 m wide. If the surface temperature is 400 K, find the convective heat transfer. How much of the plate experiences laminar flow?arrow_forward1. An incompressible fluid of kinematic viscosity v = μ/p= 10-4 m²/s flows steadily through a circular pipe of diameter d = 10 cm. The pipe flow is fully developed. Friction Factor If the average velocity V is 2 m/s, is the flow laminar or turbulent? What is the value of the friction factor, f? If the pipe is perfectly smooth on its internal surface and V is 20 m/s, the pipe flow is turbulent (double check yourself). Evaluate its friction factor using the Moody chart below. Repeat (c) by numerically solving the Colebrook formula (using, for example, Matlab). Attach the source code you used. Suppose that the pipe internal surface is rough. Also suppose that increasing V up to 200 m/s yields no change in the value of f found in (a). Determine the relative roughness, e/d, using the Colebrook formula. 0.1 0.09 0.08 0.07 0.06 0.05 0.04 0.03 0.02 0.015 0.01 Laminar Flow 64 Material Concrete, coarse Concrete, new smooth Drawn tubing Glass, Plastic Perspex Iron, cast Sewers, old Steel, mortar…arrow_forwardI need help with this problemarrow_forward
