Chapter 2, Problem 2.27P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Reynolds number for the given condition should be calculated and the flow should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Reynolds number (Re) is defined as,

Re=Duρ/μ

Where,

D = Pipe diameter, u = Fluid velocity, ρ = Fluid Density, μ = Fluid viscosity

When the value of Reynolds number is less than about 2100, the flow is laminar. Reynolds numbers above 2100, the flow is turbulent.

Consider liquid n - hexane in a 50 - mm - diameter graduated cylinder. The distance from the liquid - gas interface to the top of the cylinder is 20 cm. The steady - state n - hexane evaporation rate is 8.2.10-4 kg / s and the n - hexane mass fraction at the liquid - air interface is 0.482. The diffusivity of n - hexane in air is 8.0. 10 ^ m / s. A. Determine the mass flux of n - hexane vapor. Give units. B. Determine the bulk flux of n - hexane vapor, i.e. , that portion associ ated with the bulk flow, at the liquid - gas interface. C. Determine the diffusional flux of n - hexane vapor at the liquid - gas interface.
A poiseuille flow experiment was carried out to measure the viscosity of air at 298 k. the sample was allowed to flow through a 100 cm tube  of  internal diameter 1mm. The high pressure end was at 865 Torr and the low pressure end was at 760 Torr. The volume was measured at the latter pressure. In 59 seconds a volume of 90.2cm^3 passed through the tube. What is the viscosity (use the unit cp of air at this temperature?
