Algebraic equations such as Bernoulli's relation,
are dimensionally consistent, but what
about differential equations? Consider, for example, the
boundary-layer x-momentum equation, first derived by
Ludwig Prandtl in 1904:

where T is the boundary-layer shear stress and g, is the com-
ponent of gravity in the x direction. Is this equation dimen-
sionally consistent? Can you draw a general conclusion?
1. The Stokes-Oseen formula for drag force Fon a sphere of diameter D in a fluid stream of low velocity
V, density p, and viscosity u is:
9T
F = 3TuDV +
16PD?
Is this formula dimensionally homogenous?
2. The efficiency n of a pump is defined as the (dimensionless) ratio of the power required to drive a
pump:
QAp
input power
Where Q is the volume rate of flow and Ap is the pressure rise produced by the pump. Suppose that a
certain pump develops a pressure of Ibf/in? (1ft = 12 in) when its flow rate is 40 L/s (1L =0.001 m). If
the input power is 16hp (1hp = 760 W), what is the efficiency?

cometer, which we can analyze later in Chap. 7. A small
ball of diameter D and density p, falls through a tube of test
liquid (p. µ). The fall velocity V is calculated by the time to
fall a measured distance. The formula for calculating the
viscosity of the fluid is
discusses a simple falling-ball vis-
(Po – p)gD²
18 V
This result is limited by the requirement that the Reynolds
number (pVD/u) be less than 1.0. Suppose a steel ball (SG =
7.87) of diameter 2.2 mm falls in SAE 25W oil (SG = 0.88)
at 20°C. The measured fall velocity is 8.4 cm/s. (a) What is
the viscosity of the oil, in kg/m-s? (b) Is the Reynolds num-
ber small enough for a valid estimate?
