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.

Engine oil at 40 C [density 876 kg/m^3, viscosity 0.2177 kg/m.s] flows in a 20-cm-diameter pipe at a velocity of 0.9 m/s. The pressure drop (in Pa) of oil for a pipe length of 20 m is

An important parameter in fluid flow problems involving thin films is the Weber number (We) which can be expressed in equation form as We=[pv^2L/(omega)] where p is the density of the fluid, v is a velocity, L is a length, and (omega) is the surface tension of the fluid. If the Weber number is dimensionless, what are the dimensions of the surface tension (omega)?

2. The apparatus shown below is designed to measure the density of an unknown fluid (p2₂). The two sides of the device are separated by a movable, frictionless partition. The partition is attached to the immobile sidewalls of the device via springs (different spring constants) on either side. Before pouring fluid into the device, both springs are unstretched. The device has a rectangular cross-section and extends a width w into the page. Derive an expression for the unknown density p2 = f(p1, h₁, h₂, k₁, k2, Ax, g), where Ar is the displacement of the partition relative to its equilibrium location before the fluids are poured into the apparatus. h₁ P1 k₁ 5 P2 ли Ax k₂ h₂
