1 – PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS
1. A vertical cylindrical tank with a diameter of 12m and a depth of 4 m is filled with water to
the top with water at 20°C. If the water is heated to 50°C, how much water will spill over? Unit
weight of water at 20°C and 50°C is 9.79 kN/m3 and 9.69 kN/m3, respectively.
2. A rigid steel container is partially filled with a liquid at 15 atm. The volume of the liquid is
1.23200 L. At a pressure of 30 atm, the volume of the liquid is 1.23100 L. Find the average
bulk modulus of elasticity of the liquid over the given range of pressure if the temperature after
compression is allowed to return to its initial value. What is the coefficient of compressibility?
3. Calculate the density of water vapor at 350 kPa abs and 20 °C if its gas constant is 0.462 kPa-
m3/kg-K
4. Air is kept at a pressure of 200 kPa and a temperature of 30 °C in a 500-L container. What is
the mass of the air?
5. If 12 m3 of nitrogen at 30°C and 125kPa abs is permitted to expand isothermally to 30m 3, what
is the resulting pressure? What would the pressure and temperature have been if the process
had been isentropic?
6. A square block weighing 1.1 kN and 250 mm on an edge slides down an incline on a film of
oil 6.0 µm thick. Assuming linear velocity profile in the oil and neglecting air resistance. What
is the terminal velocity of the block? The viscosity of oil is 7 mPa-s. Angle of inclination is
20°.
7. Benzine at 20°C has a viscosity of 0.000651 Pa-s. What shear stress is required to deform this
fluid at a strain rate 4900 s-1?
8. A shaft 70 mm in diameter is being pushed at a speed of 400 mm/s through a bearing sleeve
70.2 mm in diameter and 250 mm long. The clearance, assumed uniform, is filled with oil at
20°C with ν = 0.005 m2/s and sp. gr. = 0.9. Find the force exerted by the oil in the shaft.
9. Two clean parallel glass plates, separated by a distance d = 15 mm, are dipped in a bath of
water. How far does the water rise due to capillary action, if σ = 0.0730 N/m?
10. Find the angle of the surface tension film leaves the glass for a vertical tube immersed in water
if the diameter is 0.25 in and the capillary rise is 0.08 in. Use σ = 0.005 lb/ft?
11. What force is required to lift a thin wire ring 6cm in diameter from a water surface at 20°C?
(σ of water at 20°C = 0.0728 N/m) Neglect the weight of the ring.
