VII. The tank and pipe shown in Fig. 6 are initially fill
with a liquid of viscosity 1.2 g/(cm-s) and density 1 g/cm3.
Assuming laminar flow (fF = 16/Re), taking pipe friction
to be the only resistance, and ignoring exit kinetic-energy
effects, determine the volume flow rate Q in cm3/s when h Fig.6
= 30 cm.

Data: R = 20 cm, r = 0.5 cm, L = 100 cm, H = 50 cm, g =

VIII. A packed bed is composed of cylinders having a diameter D = 2 cm and a length h = 3 cm. The
bulk density of the overall packed bed is 902 kg/m3 and the density of the solid cylinder is 1600 kg/m3.

21) The void fraction of the bed is 0.436

22) If the effective diameter Dp = 6/av, where av = surface area of particle/volume of particle,

Dp = 2.25 cm

IX.Solid particles having a size of 0.12 mm and a density of 1200 kg/m 3 are to be fluidized using air at 2
atm and 25oC. The void fraction at minimum fluidizing conditions is 0.40. If the cross section of the
empty bed is 0.40 m2 and the bed contains 500 kg of solid, the minimum height ho of the fluidized bed is
