If the given Pi is 3.14159
Capillary tube: radius = 0.02 cm; length = 9 cm; pressure = 0.7 mmHg
Liquid sample: density = 4 ml; time of flow = 4.5 seconds
What is the pressure in MKS unit and CGS unit?
What is its viscosity?
If the weight is 8.5 g, what is its density?
What is its kinematic viscosity?
What is its fluidity?
Important variables in a particular water machine are: Fluid density (ρ), impeller angular velocity (ω), impeller diameter (D), volume flow rate (), fluid viscosity (µ), head (gH). In fact, (gH) shows the energy that the fluid unit mass receives from or gives to the machine, independent of gravitational acceleration (g). Therefore, gH value is used instead of H. Important sizes in terms of the operation of the water machine are power (P), (gH) and efficiency ( h). Derive dimensionless numbers by typing these two parameters based on the above variables and applying Buckingham's p method (repeating variables method).
Consider the following equation. All three of the terms in parentheses are dimensionless groups. Because kC is difficult to determine directly, the other variables are measured and kC is calculated from the given equation.
What is the estimated value of kC? What are the units of kC? Show your work. The following values were measured: D = 8.0 mm, DAB = 0.475 cm2/s, μ = 1.12 x 10–3 N-s/m2, ρ = 1.00 x 10–3 g/cm3, v = 15.0 m/s.

When the Reynolds number value is less than 2100, the flow is laminar, that is, the liquid it moves in lines of smooth flow. For Reynolds numbers greater than 2100, the flow is turbulent, characterized by considerable agitation.
