Chapter 2 Exercises Part2

This document contains tutorial problems related to momentum transfer and fluid flow. It includes 5 problems examining shear stress and shear rate between parallel plates, Reynolds number calculations for pipe flow, and determining flow properties needed to maintain consistent flow conditions with different fluids. The document provides relevant equations, diagrams, and fluid property values to calculate the requested parameters for laminar flow between plates and in pipes.

Momentum Transfer
1. The distance the tow parallel plates in figure 1 is 0.00914 m and the lower
plate is being pulled at a relative velocity of 0.366 m/s greater than the top
plate. The fluid used is soybean oil with a viscosity 410-2 Pa*s at 303 K.
a) Calculate the shear stress t and the shear rate using English units.
b) Repeat a) using SI units.
c) If glycerol at 293 K having a viscosity of 1.069 kg/m*s is used instead
of soybean oil, what relative velocity in m/s is needed using the same
distance between plates so that the same shear stress is obtained as in
part a)? Also, what is the new shear rate?

2. Using figure 1, the lower plate is being pulled at a relative velocity of 0.40
m/s greater than the top plate. The fluid used is water at 24C.
a) How far apart should the tow plates be placed so that the shear stress t
is 0.30 N/m2? Calculate the shear stress.
b) If oil with a viscosity of 2.010-2 Pa*s is used instead at the same plate
spacing and velocity as in part a), what are the shear stress and shear
rate?

4. Whole milk at 293 K having a density of 1030 kg/m3 and viscosity of 2.12
cp is flowing at the rate of 0.605 kg/s in a glass pipe having a diameter of
63.5 mm.
a) Calculate the Reynolds number. Is this flow turbulent or laminar?.
b) Calculate the flow rate needed in m3/s for a Reynolds number of 2100
and velocity in m/s.

5. An oil is being pumped inside a 10.0-mm-diameter pipe at a Reynolds


number of 2100. The oil density is 855 kg/m3 and the viscosity is 2.110-2
Pa*s.
a) What is the velocity in the pipe?
b) It is desired to maintain the same Reynolds number of 2100 and the
same velocity as in part a) using a second fluid with a density of 925
kg/m3 and a viscosity of 1.510-2 Pa*s. What pipe diameter should be
used?
