Viscosity

Abstract: In this experiment, the velocity profile for a flat plate at zero pressure gradient of a boundary layer at two different stream wise points were acquired. The investigation was also based on and how changes in Reynolds number affect the velocity distribution within boundary layers. Parameters such as the Momentum Thickness, Displacement Thickness, Shape Factor, shear stress and coefficient of friction was also calculated to gain a better understand of boundary layers. The experimental

static and total pressures is the dynamic pressure. Theory: The boundary layer is defined as a thin layer of any fluid adjacent to the solid surface it surrounds. The characteristics of a boundary layer are basically what define the effects of viscosity. The velocity of the boundary layer starts from a value of zero at the solid surface and increases until it reaches a maximum which happens to be the free stream velocity. In other words, theoretically speaking the boundary layer is infinite, but

1.0 ABSTRACT The objectives of handling this experiment are to study the characteristics of laminar, turbulent and transition flows by calculating the Reynold’s number of each flow and by observing the behavior of the flow itself. Besides that, this experiment is in conduct in order to determine the range for laminar and turbulent flow as well as to prove that Reynold’s number is dimensionless by calculating by using the formula. The experiment was started with laminar flow. In order to obtain the

Part:C A-1: Polymer weight averages and molecular distribution: There are two types of molecular averages from which we can , the number average and weight average, which can we calculate by knowing the number of molecules and that weight fractions in the polymer. If we are given numbers of molecules with their molecular weights. Then we can calculate number-average molecular weight (Mn) and weight average molecular weight (Mw). From that, we can get polydispersity index and know it is monodispersed

analysis techniques” is applied. This method is effective because it helps to decrease the variables like density and temperature by finding the relations among particular variables. Reynolds Number (RE) (density x velocity x length of diameter or viscosity) is categorized as the dimensionless variables. RE=ρVD⁄μ The formula is commonly used to study about the type and properties of fluid flow. Based on to the previous experiments conducted, RE is

generation of energy using combustion of fuels still remains the dominant source of energy globally [1]. In search for alternative fuels, biofuels have shown promising results to generate useful energy. However, efficient atomization of some high viscosity biofuels to yield maximum useful energy and minimise emissions is an area of research that has not been completely explored so far. As a result, liquid atomization has drawn a lot of attention among researchers over the past few years [2]. Though

Fracking is considered one of the most controversial methods of obtaining Earth’s natural gases. It is also known as hydraulic fracturing, which is drilling and introducing fluid (mostly water) into the ground to get certain rocks to produce natural gases. Fracking could cause devastating effects to the environment. According to the article “Hydraulic Fracturing 101” on the web-site earthworks.com, fracking can not only use up a lot of water, but it can also contaminate groundwater. Two to ten million

average molecular weight of the products with time. The measured solubility of 20 hrs sample is 65 wt%, whereas the solubility of monomer is around 92 wt%. The data also shows that viscosity of the products increases with the increase of reaction time. Both the phenomena (i.e. decrease of solubility and increase of viscosity with time) clearly indicates that the extent of polymerization reaction increases with reaction time. The average value of moisture content in the products is 1.82

the viscosity behavior of tin/lead alloys during solidification, published by Spencer,Mehrabian, and Flemings in 1972.The original purpose was to examine the shear stress of semisolid structures with a view to shedding light on hot tearing mechanisms in solidifying alloys, but it was discovered that the process of shearing clearly altered the microstructure, changing the dendritic morphology of the solid into more spherical form that brought about a dramatic fall in shear stress and viscosity.
