A study of the physical characteristic of honey was conducted due to thelarge demand of royal jelly. A capillary tube viscometer was used by aresearcher in determining the viscosity of the honey. The viscometer is250 mm long with an outside diameter of 55mm and effective thickness of2.5mm and was used horizontally so that the effect of gravity wasneglected.

(1 capsule = 0.85 cc of royal jelly).
The Reynolds number is a dimensionless group defined as follows for a liquid that flows through a pipe: Re = Dvρ / μ where D is the diameter of the pipe, v is the velocity of the fluid, ρ is its density and µ its viscosity. When the Reynolds number value is less than 2100, the flow is laminar, that is, the liquid it moves in lines of smooth flow. For Reynolds numbers greater than 2100, the flow is turbulent, characterized by considerable agitation. Liquid Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) flows through 2067 '' ID tubing and through an average velocity of 0.48 ft / s. If the fluid temperature is 20 ° C, the density of the MEK The liquid is 0.805 g / cm and the viscosity is 0.43 cP (1 cP = 1.00 x 10 kg / (m-s)]. Determine the Reynolds number for MEK flow conditions. (Round the final result to a whole number without decimals).

I need help on this question: Q. As a means of measuring the viscosity, a liquid is forced to flow through two very large parallel plates by applying a pressure gradient, dp/dx. You can assume that the velocity between the plates is given by (Figure1). Where μ is the fluid viscosity, dp/dx is the pressure gradient and h is the gap between the plates. a) Derive an expression for the shear stress acting on the top plate, τW. b) Q' is the flow rate per unit width (i.e. has units of m2/s). Express Q' in terms of τW. c) When the flow rate per unit width is Q' = 1.2 x 10-4 m2/s, the gap between the plates is 5 mm, the device estimates the shear stress at the top wall to be -0.05 Pa. Estimate the viscosity of the fluid.

PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s. In the design specifications given, if the actual measurement of power via the substation amounts to exactly 530kW and given that the windspeed is off by 0.05m/s, what could have been the error in the measurement of diameter? Your answer must be in 3 decimal places and in correct signs and measurement. Show complete solution in paper.
You are developing a porous membrane for use in a dialysis system. The membrane must be able to retain both protein and glucose on the inlet side and allow other, smaller molecules to flow through. You have found that the membrane is 0.25 mm thick and contains long, rectangular pores with a width of 0.1 microns. 57% of the 50 cm^2 membrane surface area is covered with pores. A test fluid (viscosity = 1.5 cP, density = 1015 kg/m^3) is passed through the membrane. You can assume that the test fluid has a composition similar to that of blood plasma. An initial test is run at physiological conditions, and you observe that the flow rate of fluid through the membrane is 500 cm^3/min. Given this data, what must the hydrodynamic pressure drop across the membrane in your test system be in pascals?
