A Newtonian fluid flows in an annular space created by a concentric pipe of radius R. and a rod of radius R, as shown in Figure Q1(b). The rod is moving at a constant velocity V, while the pipe is stationary. The flow is steady, laminar and incompressible and there is no forced pressure gradient driving the flow. Assuming the velocity components in the radial and tangential directions are zero and ignoring the effects of gravity, derive an expression for the velocity field in the annular space.

Consider steady, incompressible, two-dimensional flow of fluid into a converging duct with straight walls The volume flow rate is V ·, and the velocity is in the radial direction only, with ur a function of r only. Let b be the width into the page. At the inlet into the converging duct (r = R), ur is known; ur = ur(R). Assuming inviscid flow everywhere, generate an expression for ur as a function of r, R, and ur(R) only. Sketch what the velocity profile at radius r would look like if friction were not neglected (i.e., a real flow) at the same volume flow rate.
1) When an incompressible fluid flows through a restricted (narrower) portion of a pipe, mass flow is preserved, so it: sloshes back and forth. must speed up. remains at constant speed slows down. creates a shock wave. 2) When an incompressible fluid moves from a wider pipe into a narrower one, it speeds up. This means that the wider portion must do work on the fluid (to accelerate it), and therefor the pressure there... goes to zero. is lower than in the narrow portion. is higher than in the narrow portion. is the same as in the narrow portion. cannot be calculated. 3) Normally, when the temperature of a solid, liquid, or gas increases, it expands, i.e., its volume V increases (and its mass density: ρ = m /V decreases). Because of its relatively strong hydrogen bonds, water ice forms an orderly, hexagonal lattice structure that requires the molecules to be about 9% further apart than when in the liquid phase, which…

The pressure in a section of horizontal pipe with a diameter of 2 cm is 152 kPa. Water flows through the pipe at 2.80 L/ s. If the pressure at a certain point is to be reduced to 109 kPa by constricting a section of the pipe, what should the diameter of the constricted section be? Assume laminar nonviscous flow. Express your answer in meters to four decimal places. Us the continuity equation and water flow rate to find the speed of the fluid in one region.

A medical syringe (shown below) is used to inject a patient with a local anaesthetic before performing outpatient surgery. The anaesthetic can be modeled as an incompressible fluid with specific gravity, S = 1.02. Determine the plunger velocity, in units of in/s, if the anaesthetic is to be delivered at a constant 7 cm3 s −1 when the syringe is modeled as being perfectly sealed, and there is backward leakage between the plunger and syringe at a rate of 10% of the volume flow rate delivered through the needle. Note that anaesthetic is still to be delivered to the patient at 7 cm3 s −1 , despite this leakage.

Show complete solution: A vessel of volume V, with a constant cross-sectional area of A and a height of H, is initially (t = 0) filled with a fluid having a density of ρ. At a certain time (t > 0), a drain was opened at the bottom of the vessel for the fluid to flow through by gravity. The velocity coming out of the drain is expressed as vout = C0 (gh)1/2 where C0 is a constant, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the fluid inside the tank. Develop an equation for the height h as a function of time t.
