An important design consideration in two-phase pipe flow of solid-liquid mixtures is the terminal settling velocity below, which the flow becomes unstable and eventually the pipe becomes clogged. On the basis of extended transportation tests, the terminal settling velocity of a solid particle in the rest water given by VL = FL√2gD(S − 1), where FL is an experimental coefficient, g the gravitational acceleration, D the pipe diameter, and S the specific gravity of solid particle. What is the dimension of FL? Is this equation dimensionally homogeneous?

- An airplane is cruising at altitude 10 km. The pressure outside the craft is 0.287 atm; within the passenger compartment, the pressure is 1.00 atm and the temperature is 20C. A small leak occurs in one of the window seals in the passenger compartment.

Before starting the rotation of the system, the system is in equilibrium, where the rotating branch has an initial height of fluid equal to L, while at the other end of the tube there is a chamber of height h and filled with a gas at initial pressure P0. The top cap of the chamber is attached to the tube. However, the bottom cap can be moved vertically acting as a “piston”, as shown in the diagram. Both the mass of the lower lid and that of the gas contained in the chamber are negligible.Suddenly the tube begins to rotate at constant angular velocity ω.

Assuming that diameters of the pipes at theexit are equal to each other, calculate the Reynolds number on one of the exit pipes (density ofliquid benzene at 80⁰ C= 813 kg/m3and at 60⁰C = 835 kg/m3).arrow_forward

In atmospheres,what is the differencebetween this internal air pressureand the water pressure against thebody if the length of the snorkeltube is (a) 20 cm (standard situation) and (b) 4.0 m (probablylethal situation)? In the latter, the pressure difference causesblood vessels on the walls of the lungs to rupture, releasing bloodinto the lungs., an elephant can safelysnorkel through its trunk while swimming with its lungs 4.0 m belowthe water surface because the membrane around its lungscontains connective tissue that holds and protects the blood vessels,preventing rupturing.arrow_forwardThe gas law for a fixed mass mm of an ideal gas at absolute temperature T, pressure P, and volume V is PV=mRT, where R is the gas constant.

- A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 11.0 m also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 3.00 atm. Water flows out from the bottom through a small hole. How fast is this water moving? (Assume that the cross-sectional area of the tank (A1) is much larger than thecross-sectional area of the hole ( A2), so v_1 << v_2 and the (1/2)ρ(v_1)^2 term can be neglected.)arrow_forwardThe pressure on the suction side of pumps is typically low, and the surfaces on that side of the pump are susceptible to cavitation, especially at high fluid temperatures. If the minimum pressure on the suction side of a water pump is 0.95 psia absolute, determine the maximum water temperature to avoid the danger of cavitation.arrow_forwardConsider the Venturi meter, discussed in the sample problems, containing water without the manometer tube underneath.

(b) How much water in m3 flows into the tube per minute (the volume flow rate in minutes) if the diameter at point 1 is 5.20 cm. The phenomenon at point 2 when the pressure falls to nearly zero is known as cavitation. The water vaporizes into small bubbles.arrow_forward
