The viscosity of a fluid is to be measured by a viscometer constructed of two 5-ft-long concentric cylinders. The inner diameter of the outer cylinder is 6 in, and the gap between the two cylinders is 0.035 in. The outer cylinder is rotated at 250 rpm, and the torque is measured to be 1.2 lbf⋅ft. Determine the viscosity of the fluid
A shaft 70-mm in diameter is being pushed at a speed of 400mm/s through a bearing sleeve 70.2-mm in diameter and 250mm long. The clearance is filled with oil with a kinematic viscosity of v = 0.005 ?2/? and SG=0.9. Find the frictional resistance exerted by the oil on the shaft in Newtons (N). And when the shaft is fixed axially and rotated inside the sleeve at 2000 rpm, determine the resisting torque exerted by the oil and the power required to rotate the shaft in kiloWatts (kW).
A rotating viscometer consists of two concentriccylinders—an inner cylinder of radius Ri rotating at angularvelocity (rotation rate) vi, and a stationary outer cylinder ofinside radius Ro. In the tiny gap between the two cylindersis the fluid of viscosity m. The length of the cylinders is L. L is large such that end effects are negligible (we can treat this as a two-dimensional problem). Torque (T) is required to rotate the inner cylinder at constant speed. (a) Showing all of your work and algebra, generate an approximate expression for T as a function of the other variables. (b) Explain why your solution is only an approximation. In particular, do you expect the velocity profile in the gap to remain linear as the gap becomes larger and larger (i.e., if the outer radius Ro were to increase, all else staying the same)?
steel tape 0.5 mm thick and 20 mm wide is pulled by a force F through a slit opening 1.5 mm and length 15 mm. Considering that the tape is centered on the slit, that lubricating oil of viscosity µ = 0.4 Nm-2s? fills the gap spaces not occupied by the tape and that the maximum tape speed is 10 m/s, calculate the maximum force F. Expected Answer: Maximum Force = 4.8N

A concentric cylinder viscometer may be formed by rotating the inner member of a pair of closely fitting cylinders. The annular gap is small so that a linear velocity profile will exist in the liquid sample.
