1. Enunciate Newton's law of viscosity and distinguish between Newtonian and non-
Newtonian fluids.

2. What do you mean by capillarity? Derive the equation for capillary rise.

3. Explain how certain insects are able to walk on the surface of water.

4. Calculate the velocity gradient at distances of 0, 100, and 150 mm from the boundary if the
velocity profile is a parabola with the vertex 150 mm from the boundary, where the velocity
is 1 m/s. Also calculate the shear stresses at these points if the fluid has a viscosity of 0.804
N-s/m2.

5. A piston 796 mm diameter and 200 mm long works in a cylinder of 800 mm diameter. If
the annular space is filled with a lubricating oil of viscosity 5 cP, calculate the speed of
descent of piston in vertical position. The weight of piston and the axial load are 9.8 N.

6. Write short notes on the following:


(a) Viscosity (b) Surface Tension (c) Capillary action (d) Vapour pressure

7.Calculate the dynamic viscosity of an oil, which is used for lubrication between a square plate
of size 0.8 m x 0.8 m and an inclined plane with angle of inclination 30 as shown in Fig.. The
weight of the square plate is 300 N and it slides down the inclined plane with a uniform velocity
of 0.3 m/s. The thickness of oil film is 1.5 mm.

8. The space between two square flat parallel plates is filled with oil. Each side of the plate is
60 cm. The thickness of the oil film is 12.5 mm. The upper plate, which moves at 2.5 metre per
see requires a force of 98.1 N to maintain the speed. Determine:
(i) the dynamic viscosity of the oil in poise, and
(ii) the kinematic viscosity of the 'oil in stokes if the specific gravity of the oil is 0.95.
9. Two large plane surfaces are 2.4 cm apart. The space between the surfaces is filled with
glycerine. What force is required to drag a very thin plate of surface area 0.5 square metre
between the two large plane surfaces at a speed of 0.6 m/s, if:
(i) the thin plate is in the middle of the two plane surfaces, and
(ii) the thin plate is at a distance of 0.8 cm from one of the plane surfaces ? Take the dynamic
viscosity of glycerine 8.10 x 10 N/m².
10. A vertical gap 2.2 cm wide of infinite extent contains a fluid of viscosity 2.0 N s/m² and
specific gravity 0.9. A metallic plate 1.2 m x 1.2 m x 0.2 cm is to be lifted up with a constant
velocity of 0.15 m/sec, through the gap. If the plate is in the middle of the gap, find the force
required. The weight of the plate is 40 N.

11. The dynamic viscosity of an oil, used for lubrication between a shaft and sleeve is 6 poise.
The shaft is of diameter 0.4 and rotates at 190 rpm. Calculate the power last in the bearing for
a sleeve length of 90 mm. The thickness of the oil film is 1.5 mm.

12. A 15 cm diameter vertical cylinder rotates concentrically inside another cylinder of


diameter 15.10 cm. Both cylinders are 25 cm high. The space between the cylinders is filled
with a liquid whose viscosity is unknown. If a torque of 12.0 Nm is required to rotate the inner
cylinder at 100 r.p.m., determine the viscosity of the fluid.
13. A shaft of diameter 100 mm is rotating inside a journal bearing of diameter 102 mm at a
space of 360 r.p.m. The space between the shaft and bearing is filled with a lubricating oil of
viscosity 5 poise. The length of the bearing is 200 mm. Find the power absorbed in the
lubricating oil.
14. A square plate of size 1 mx 1 m and weighing 350 N slides down an inclined plane with a
uniform velocity of 1.5 m/s. The inclined plane is laid on a slope of 5 vertical to 12 horizontal
and has an oil film of 1 mm thickness. Calculate the dynamic viscosity of oil.
