One example of the importance of compressibility effects in liquid flows occurs when vapor pockets form in a liquid flow because of local reductions in pressure (for example at the tip of a boat's propeller blades). Depending on the number and distribution of particles in the liquid to which very small pockets of undissolved gas or air may attach, the local pressure at the onset may be at or below the vapor pressure of the liquid.

Laminar flow normally persists on a smooth flat plate until the critical Reynolds number value is reached. However, the flow can be brought to a turbulent state by adding a roughness to the front edge of the plate. For a particular situation, experimental results show that the local heat transfer coefficients for laminar and turbulent conditions are: Hlam (x) = 1,74.x^-0,5Hturb (x)= 3,98.x^-0,2 Calculate the average heat transfer coefficients for laminar and turbulent conditions for plates of length L = 0.1 m and 1.0 m.
A diffuser in a pipe flow is basically a slow expansion of the pipe diameter, which slows down the fluid velocity and increases the pressure (the Bernoulli effect). Water at room temperature flows with a volume flow rate of 0.0250 m3/s through a horizontal diffuser in which the pipe diameter increases gradually from D1 = 6.00 to D2 = 11.00 cm. The irreversible head loss through the diffuser is estimated to be 0.450 m. The flow is turbulent, and the kinetic energy correction factors at both the inlet and outlet of the diffuser are assumed to be 1.05. Calculate the pressure difference P2 – P1 in units of kPa using the energy equation. (b) Repeat using the Bernoulli equation (ignore irreversible head losses and ignore kinetic energy correction factors—in other words, set the kinetic energy correction factors to 1). Calculate the percentage error in the result due to the Bernoulli approximation, and explain why (or why not) Bernoulli is applicable here. (c) It may be surprising that the…
