Chapter 5, Problem 36CP
The velocity of a fluid flowing in a pipe is to be measured by two different Pilot-type mercury manometers shown in Fig. P5-36C. Would you expect both manometers to predict the same velocity for flowing water? If not, which would be more accurate? Explain. What would your response be if air were flowing in the pipe instead of water?

- A liquid delivery system is being designed such that ethylene glycol flows out of a hole in the bottom of a large tank, as in Fig. P7–100. The designers need to predict how long it will take for the ethylene glycol to completely drain. Since it would be very expensive to run tests with a full-scale prototype using ethylene glycol, they decide to build a onequarter scale model for experimental testing, and they plan to use water as their test liquid. The model is geometrically similar to the prototype Fig. (a) The temperature of the ethylene glycol in the prototype tank is 60°C, at which ? = 4.75 × 10−6 m2/s. At what temperature should the water in the model experiment be set in order to ensure complete similarity between model and prototype?
