1. Define <em>Viscosity</em>
In physics, <em>Viscosity</em> refers to the level of resistance of a fluid to flow due to internal friction, in other words, viscosity is the result of the magnitude of internal friction in a fluid, as measured by the force per unit area resisting uniform flow. For example, the honey is a fluid with high viscosity while the water has low viscosity.
What are the main differences between viscous and inviscid flows?
Viscous flows are flows that has a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid, contain and conduct heat, does not have a rest frame mass density and whose motion at a fixed point always remains constant. Inviscid flows, on the other hand, are flows characterized for having zero viscosity (it does not have a thick, sticky consistency), for not containing or conducting heat, for the lack of steady flow and for having a rest frame mass density
Furthermore, viscous flows are much more common than inviscid flows, while this latter is often considered an idealized model since helium is the only fluid that can become inviscid.
There must be a photo for me to answer!
Answer:
(a) 11.437 psia
(b) 13.963 psia
Explanation:
The pressure exerted by a fluid can be estimated by multiplying the density of the fluid, acceleration due to gravity and the depth of the fluid. To determine the fluid density, we have:
fluid density = specific gravity * density of water = 1.25 * 62.4 lbm/ft^3 = 78 lbm/ft^3
height = 28 in * (1 ft/12 in) = 2.33 ft
acceleration due to gravity = 32.174 ft/s^2
The change in pressure = fluid density*acceleration due to gravity*height = 78*32.174*(28/12) = 5855.668 lbm*ft/(s^2 * ft^2) = 5855.668 lbf/ft^2
The we convert from lbf/ft^2 to psi:
(5855.668/32.174)*0.00694 psi = 1.263 psi
(a) pressure = atmospheric pressure - change in pressure = 12.7 - 1.263 = 11.437 psia
(b) pressure = atmospheric pressure + change in pressure = 12.7 + 1.263 = 13.963 psia
