Problmes additionnels (Proprits des fluides)

1. The sliding plate viscometer shown is used to measure the viscosity of a fluid.

The top plate is moving to the right with a constant velocity of 10 m/s in response

to a force of 3 N. The bottom plate is stationary. What is the viscosity of the fluid,

assuming linear velocity distribution? (0.06 Ns/m2)

2. Suppose that glycerin is flowing (T=20C) and that the pressure gradient dP/dx is

-1.6kN/m3. What are the velocity and shear stress at a distance of 12 mm from

the wall is the space B between the walls is 5 cm? The velocity distribution for

viscous flow between stationary plate is given below.

3. Find the kinematic and dynamic viscosities of air and water at a temperature of

40C and an absolute pressure of 170 kPa. (air = 1.91*10-5 Ns/m2, air = 10.1*10-5

m2/s; water = 6.53*10-5 Ns/m2, water = 6.58*10-7 m2/s)

4. A spherical soap bubble has an inside radius of 4 mm, a negligible thickness t

and a surface tension . What is the pressure difference assuming that is the

same as for pure water? (73 N/m2)

5. What is the pressure within a 1mm spherical droplet of water relative to the

atmospheric pressure outside? (292 N/m2)
