4010: Momentum Transfer Operations Section 077 Instructor: Ubaldo Crdova Figueroa, Ph.D. Problem Set #1 Due Date: 02/11/10

Instructions: Solution must be submitted on the specified date at the beginning of class. No online submissions (email) are permitted. You can do it either in English or Spanish. Each student is responsible to provide the solutions to the problem set in a clean and clear manner, including all considered steps and assumptions. Staple multiple sheets, initialize and number each page. The professor will not be responsible from the loss of loose pages. 1. Solve 1.10, 1.48, and 1.59 from Chapter 1 (Munson et. al. 2005) (2 pts each problem) 2. The viscosity of a soft drink was determined by using a capillary tube to that shown in Fig 1.41 in Munson et al. (2005). For this device, the kinematic viscosity v is directly proportional to the time t that takes a given amount of liquid to flow through a small capillary tube. That is, v = Kt. The following data were obtained from regular and diet drinks. The corresponding measured specific gravities are also given. Based on these data, by what percent is the absolute viscosity of the regular drink greater than that of the diet? (2 pts) t(s) SG 3. Assume that the viscosity of blood is to be determined by measurements of shear stress and rate of shearing strain du/dy obtained from a small blood sample tested in a suitable viscometer. Based on the data given below determine if the blood is a Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid. What is the viscosity of blood? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

4. A 15 mm diameter shaft is pulled through a cylindrical bearing as shown below. The lubricant that fills the 0.1 mm gap between the shaft and bearing is an oil having a kinematic viscosity of 7.0 10-4 m2/s and a specific gravity of 0.91. Determine the force F and stress required to pull the shaft at a velocity of 3.5 m/s. Assume the velocity distribution in the gap is linear. (2 pts)

Figure for Problem 4 5. A sled, as that shown below, slides along on a thin horizontal layer of water between ice and the runners. The horizontal force that the water puts on the runners is equal to 2.0 lb when the sleds speed is 60 mph. The total area of both runners in contact with the water is 0.12 ft2, and the viscosity of the water is 3.5 10-5 lb s/ft2. Determine the thickness of the layer of water under the runners. Assume a linear velocity profile in the water layer. Assuming the water layer thickness remains constant as well as the contact area, what is the required force to maintain the sled moving at 60 mph? Explain how you arrived at your answer (2 pts)
