Chapter 5, Problem 5.14P
Flow in a pipe is often measured with an orifice plate, as in Fig. P5.14. The volume flow Q is a function of the pressure drop across the plate, the fluid density , the pipe diameter D, and the orifice diameter d. Rewrite this functional relationship in dimensionless form.

Under a laminar flow, the liquid flows through small holes. It has a triangular cross-section, width b and length L, where the volumetric flow rate Q of the flow is a function of viscosity. ,pressure reduction per unit length p/L and width b
1) Use the PI theory to write the relationship as a dimensionless variable.
2) if the width b is doubled by viscosity And the pressure drop per unit length p/L is the same. I want to know how the flow rate Q will change.
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
Problem statement : A simple flow-measurement device for streams and channels is a notch, of angle α, cut into the side of a dam, as shown in Fig. P5.69. The volume flow Q depends only on α, the acceleration of gravity g, and the height δ of the upstream water surface above the notch vertex. Tests of a model notch, of angle α = 55°, yield the following flow rate data:
δ, cm: 10 20 30 40 Q, m3/h: 8 47 126 263
Part (A) - Find a dimensionless correlation for the data. (b) Use the model data to predict the flow rate of a prototype notch, also of angle α = 55°, when the upstream height δ is 3.2 m.
