When a liquid in a beaker is stired, whirlpool will form and there will be an elevation
difference h, between the center of the liquid surface and the rim of the liquid surface.
Apply the method of repeating variables to generate a dimensional relationship for
elevation difference (h), angular velocity (@) of the whirlpool, fluid density (p).
gravitational acceleration (2), and radius (R) of the container. Take o. pand R as the
repeating variables.
Example: The pressure difference (Ap) between two point in a pipe due to turbulent flow
depends on the velocity (V), diameter (D), dynamic viscosity (µ), density (p), roughness
size (e), and distance between the points (L). using dimensional analysis determine the
general form of the expression (use MLT system).
The force (F) acting on a particle moving in a
fluidized bed depends: the mass of the
particle, it velocity, the density the fluid and
the gravitational acceleration. Find the relation
between these variables using dimensional
analysis. With Rayleigh's method
