Answer:

The pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its original value.

Explanation:

For a fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the flowrate (volumetric) is given by the Hagen-Poiseulle's equation.

Q = π(ΔPR⁴/8μL)

where Q = volumetric flowrate

ΔP = Pressure drop across the pipe

μ = fluid viscosity

L = pipe length

If all the other parameters are kept constant, the pressure drop across the circular pipe is directly proportional to the viscosity of the fluid flowing in the pipe

ΔP = μ(8QL/πR⁴)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (8QL/πR⁴) = constant (for this question)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (ΔP/μ)

So, if the viscosity is halved, the new viscosity (μ₁) will be half of the original viscosity (μ).

μ₁ = (μ/2)

The new pressure drop (ΔP₁) is then

ΔP₁ = Kμ₁ = K(μ/2)

Recall,

K = (ΔP/μ)

ΔP₁ = K(μ/2) = (ΔP/μ) × (μ/2) = (ΔP/2)

Hence, the pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its value.

Hope this Helps!!!

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

(a)

<em>d</em>Q = m<em>d</em>q

<em>d</em>q = C_p<em>d</em>T

q = \int\limits^{T_2}_{T_1} {C_p} \, dT   = C_p (T₂ - T₁)

From the above equations, the underlying assumption is that  C_p remains constant with change in temperature.

(b)

Given;

V = 2L

T₁ = 300 K

Q₁ = 16.73 KJ    ,   Q₂ = 6.14 KJ

ΔT = 3.10 K       ,   ΔT₂ = 3.10 K  for calorimeter

Let C_{cal} be heat constant of calorimeter

Q₂ = C_{cal} ΔT

Heat absorbed by n-C₆H₁₄ = Q₁ - Q₂

Q₁ - Q₂ = m C_p ΔT

number of moles of n-C₆H₁₄, n = m/M

ρ = 650 kg/m³  at 300 K

M = 86.178 g/mol

m = ρv = 650 (2x10⁻³) = 1.3 kg

n = m/M => 1.3 / 0.086178 = 15.085 moles

Q₁ - Q₂ = m C_p' ΔT

C_p = (16.73 - 6.14) / (15.085 x 3.10)

C_p = 0.22646 KJ mol⁻¹ k⁻¹
