Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.58P
The laminar pipe flow example of Prob. 1.12 can be used to design a capillary viscometer [29]. If Q is the volume flow rate, L is the pipe length, and ?p is the pressure drop from entrance to exit, the theory of Chap. 6 yields a formula for viscosity:
Pipe end effects are neglected [29]. Suppose our capillary has r0 — 2 mm and L — 25 cm. The following flow rate and pressure drop data are obtained for a certain fluid:
| Q, m3/h | 0.36 | 0.72 | 1.08 | 1.44 | 1.80 |
| ?p, kPa | 159 | 318 | 477 | 1274 | 1851 |
What is the viscosity of the fluid? Note: Only the first three points give the proper viscosity. What is peculiar about the last two points, which were measured accurately?

The variables in a Saybolt viscometer are the time (t) required to empty a certain volume of oil of density (ρ) and viscosity (μ), a length (L) representing the dimensions of the viscometer, and the gravitational acceleration (g). Using the Buckingham Pi-theorem, show that
If you disturb a tank of length L and water depth h , thesurface will oscillate back and forth at frequency Ω ,assumed here to depend also upon water density ρ and theacceleration of gravity g . ( a ) Rewrite this as a dimensionlessfunction. ( b ) If a tank of water sloshes at 2.0 Hz onearth, how fast would it oscillate on Mars ( g ≈ 3.7 m/s 2 )?
The Stokes number, St, used in particle-dynamics studies is a dimensionless combination of 5 variables: acceleration of gravity g, viscosity μ, density p, particle velocity U, and particle diameter D. If St is propotional to μ and inversely proportional to g, find its dimensionless form.
