A liquid of density ? and viscosity ? flows by gravity through a hole of diameter d in the bottom of a tank of diameter DFig. . At the start of the experiment, the liquid surface is at height h above the bottom of the tank, as sketched. The liquid exits the tank as a jet with average velocity V straight down as also sketched. Using dimensional analysis, generate a dimensionless relationship for V as a function of the other parameters in the problem. Identify any established nondimensional parameters that appear in your result. (Hint: There are three length scales in this problem. For consistency, choose h as your length scale.) except for a different dependent parameter, namely, the time required to empty the tank tempty. Generate a dimensionless relationship for tempty as a function of the following independent parameters: hole diameter d, tank diameter D, density ? , viscosity ? , initial liquid surface height h, and gravitational acceleration g.

A liquid of density ? and viscosity ? is pumped at volume flow rate V· through a pump of diameter D. The blades of the pump rotate at angular velocity ? . The pump supplies a pressure rise ΔP to the liquid. Using dimensional analysis, generate a dimensionless relationship for ΔP as a function of the other parameters in the problem. Identify any established nondimensional parameters that appear in your result. Hint: For consistency (and whenever possible), it is wise to choose a length, a density, and a velocity (or angular velocity) as repeating variables.

- 5.13 The torque due to the frictional resistance of the oil film between a rotating shaft and its bearing is found to be dependent on the force F normal to the shaft, the speed of rotation N of the shaft, the dynamic viscosity of the oil, and the shaft diameter D.
