Books on porous media and atomization claim that the viscosityμ and surface tension Y of a fl uid can be combinedwith a characteristic velocity U to form an important dimensionlessparameter. ( a ) Verify that this is so. ( b ) Evaluatethis parameter for water at 20°C and a velocity of3.5 cm/s. Note: You get extra credit if you know the nameof this parameter.
The flow rate in a rectangular open channel can be measured by placing a plate along the channel as seen in the figure. This type of artifact is called "weir".The height of the water, H, above the ridge is referred to as "head" and can be used to determine the flow through the channel. Assume that flow Q is a function of H, channel width, b, and gravity, g.Determine a correct array of dimensionless variables for this problem.
The time t d to drain a liquid from a hole in the bottom of atank is a function of the hole diameter d , the initial fluidvolume y 0 , the initial liquid depth h 0 , and the density ρ andviscosity μ of the fluid. Rewrite this relation as a dimensionlessfunction, using Ipsen’s method.
