Chte3 Fluidproperties Examples 1

This document contains multiple problems related to fluid properties and static fluids. It includes questions about calculating specific volume and specific weight at different depths and pressures in water, determining dynamic viscosity between two plates moving at a given speed and force, calculating the force required to drag a plate through glycerine at a given speed and distance between plates, finding the height of capillary rise in a glass tube of a given diameter, and calculating bulk modulus and compressibility from a given change in volume under pressure. The document also includes problems involving calculating pressures at different points in a multiple U-tube manometer and determining the maximum mass flow rate that can be measured by a Venturi meter under given conditions.

Consider an ocean in which at a depth of 7.5 km, the pressure is 75 Mpa. Assume a specific
weight at the surface of 10 KN/m 2 and an average bulk modulus of elasticity of 2.5 Gpa for
that pressure range. Find (a) the change in specific volume between the surface and 7.5 km
(b) the specific volume at 7.5 km and (c) the specific weight at 7.5 km. (Ans: = -0.0000294
m3/kg; 0.000951 m3/kg; 1051.5 kg/m3; 10315 N/m3)

A Plate at a distance 0.0254 mm from a fixed plate moves at 0.61m/s and requires a force of
1.962 N/m2 area of plate. Determine dynamic viscosity of liquid between the plates.

Two large surfaces are 2.5 cm apart. This space is filled with glycerine of absolute viscosity
0.82 Ns/m2. Find what force is required to drag a plate of area 0.5 m 2 between the two
surfaces at a speed of 0.6 m/s. (i) When the plate is equidistant from the surfaces (Ans: F=
39.36N), (ii) when the plate is at 1cm from one of the surfaces (Ans: F = 41N).

A glass tube of small diameter placed in an open reservoir of water induces capillary rise. To
what height above the reservoir level will water (at 20 °C) rise in a glass tube, such as that
shown in Fig. 2.7 below, if the inside diameter of the tube is 1.6 mm? (Ans: h=18.6 mm)
The change in volume of certain mass of liquids is observed to be 1/500 th of original volume
when pressure on it is increased by 5 Mpa. Determine the Bulk modulus and compressibility
of the liquid (Ans: Bulk modulus = 2.5GPa, Compressibility = 4 x 10-10 m2 / N).

A multiple U-tube manometer is fitted to a pipe with centre at A as shown in Fig.2.8.


Determine the pressure at A, B, C, D & E (Ans: 7161.3 kPa; 3237.3 kPa, 5886 kPa; 5886
kPa; 101.325 kPa)
The mass flow rate of air at 20 °C (ρ=1.204 kg/m 3 ) through a 15-cmdiameter duct is
measured with a Venturi meter equipped with a water manometer. The Venturi neck has a
diameter of 6 cm, and the manometer has a maximum differential height of 40 cm. Taking the
discharge coefficient to be 0.98, determine the maximum mass flow rate of air this Venturi
meter can measure. We take the density of water to be ρw = 1000 kg/m3 . The discharge
coefficient of Venturi meter is given to be CV = 0.98.(Ans=Q=0.2265m3/s; m=0.273 kg/s;
u=12.78m/s)
