A concentric-cylinder viscometer is shown. Viscous torque is produced by the annular gap around the inner cylinder. Additional viscous torque is produced by the flat bottom of the inner cylinder as it rotates above the flat bottom of the stationary outer cylinder. Obtain an algebraic expression for the viscous torque due to flow in the annular gap of width a. Obtain an algebraic expression for the viscous torque due to flow in the bottom clearance gap of height b. Prepare a plot showing the ratio, b/a, required to hold the bottom torque to 1 percent or less of the annulus torque, versus the other geometric variables. What are the design implications? What modifications to the design can you recommend?

- 5. Two immiscible fluids of equal density are flowing down a surface inclined at a 30° angle. The two fluid layers are of equal thickness h = 2.5 mm; the kinematic viscosity of the upper fluid is twice that of the lower fluid, which is Viower-2x10 m² s. Find the velocity at the interface and the velocity at the free surface. Plot the velocity distribution.arrow_forwardA cylindrical machine part moves within a surrounding cylinder. The centrelines of the part and the surrounding cylinder are coincident. The cylinder is full of an oil (viscosity 0.25kg/ms) that is not flowing i.e. no pressure gradient is applied. What is the value of the viscous force exerted on the machine part as it moves along the cylinder at a speed of 9m/s? • The machine part is 0.06m long and has a radius of 0.041m. • The ratio of the machine part radius to the cylinder radius is 0.98. • Assume that the flow is dominated by viscous forces. • Give your answer as an absolute value i.e. no negative sign, in Newtons to one decimal place.arrow_forwardQuestion 5 is attached.arrow_forward

This laminar flow is steady and fully developed in z-direction and there is no applied pressure gradient. The coordinate is fixed in the midway between the walls as shown below. 2d g=-gk liquid P, n x=-d x=d I. The velocity profile in z-direction is pg w(x) = (x2 – d) + U. 2n II. To be able to carry a net amount of liquid upwards, the wall velocities need to be greater than pgd²/(2n). III. If one of the walls stops, increasing the speed of the other wall to 3/2U would carry the same amount of liquid upwards. Which of the above statements are true?arrow_forward
