Problem 6: Measurements of drag force are made on a model automobile in a towing tank filled with fresh water. The model length scale is 1/5 that of the prototype. State the conditions required to ensure dynamic similarity between the model and prototype. Determine the fraction of the prototype speed in air at which the model test should be made in water to ensure dynamically similar conditions Measurements made at various speeds show that the dimensionless force ratio becomes constant...
7. Two capillary tubes are placed vertically in an open container of water. One tube has a diameter of 2.0 mm, and the other a diameter of 1.0 inch. In which tube will the water rise higher? 8. A sliding plate viscometer, as shown below, is used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. The plate area is 0.75 fr. A force of 1.5 x 10 lb moves the upper plate at a velocity of 10.0 ft/s.

An oil preheater consists of a single tube of 30-mm diameter and 7-m length, with its surface maintained at 200°C by swirling combustion gasses. The engine oil enters at 90°C and comes out at 144°C. Assume the flow is laminar and both hydraulically and thermally fully developed. Answer the following questions: (a) What flow rate must be supplied to maintain the oil outlet temperature of 144°C? (b) What is the corresponding heat transfer rate? (c) Discuss how you may refine...
(40 points) Engine oil flows at a rate of 1 kg/s through a 5-mm diameter smooth straight tube. The oil has an inlet temperature of 47°C and it is desired to heat the oil to a mean temperature of 87°C at the exit of the tube. The surface of the tube is maintained at 150°C. Assuming the flow is fully developed both hydrodynamically and thermally, determine the required length of the tube. Note: by calculating Reynolds number at the entrance...

A 10-mm diameter tube has a maintained surface temperature of 180°C. Engine oil enters the tube at 70°C at a flow rate of 1.3 kg/s and exits at 105°C. Find the length, in m, of the tube and well as the corresponding heat transfer rate, in W.

It is smooth not rough for the question being asked where AP, is the frictional pressure drop per unit length, w is the fluid velocity, d is the pipe diameter, p is the fluid density, u is the fluid viscosity and c is the pipe roughness (with units of length). Air flows through a smooth pipe (i.e. no roughness) of 0.3 m in diameter at a mean velocity of 25 m/s. A 1/10 model of the pipe is built made...
