PC CE 09 – PROBLEM SET NO.

01

Solve the following problems legibly and accurately.

1. A hydrogen-filled balloon is to expand to a sphere 20 m diameter at a height of 30 km where the absolute


pressure is 1100 Pa and the temperature -40 ◦C. If there is to be no stress in the fabric of the balloon what
volume of hydrogen must be added at ground level where the absolute pressure is 101.3 kPa and the
temperature 15 ◦C?
2. Calculate the density of air when the absolute pressure and the temperature are respec vely 140 kPa and 50 ◦C
and R = 287 J · kg−1 · K−1.
3. Eight kilometres below the surface of the ocean the pressure is 81.7 MPa. Determine the density of sea-water at
this depth if the density at the surface is 1025 kg · m−3 and the average bulk modulus of elas city is 2.34 GPa.
4. At an absolute pressure of 101.3 kPa and temperature of 20 ◦C the dynamic viscosity of a certain diatomic gas is
2 × 10−5 Pa · s and its kinema c viscosity is 15 mm2 · s−1. Taking the universal gas constant as 8310 J · kg−1 · K−1
and assuming the gas to be perfect, calculate its approximate rela ve molecular mass.
5. A hydraulic ram 200 mm in diameter and 1.2 m long moves wholly within a concentric cylinder 200.2 mm in
diameter, and the annular clearance is filled with oil of rela ve density 0.85 and kinema c viscosity 400 mm2 ·
s−1. What is the viscous force resis ng the mo on when the ram moves at 120 mm · s−1?
6. By how much does the pressure in a cylindrical jet of water 4 mm in diameter exceed the pressure of the
surrounding atmosphere if the surface tension of water is 0.073 N · m−1?
7. What is the approximate capillary rise of water in contact with air (surface tension 0.073 N · m−1) in a clean glass
tube 5 mm in diameter?
8. What is the approximate capillary rise of mercury (rela ve density 13.56, interfacial tension 0.377 N · m−1, angle
of contact approximately 140◦) in contact with water in a clean glass tube 6 mm in diameter? (Note: As the
mercury moves it displaces water, the density of which is not negligible.)
9. Calculate the Reynolds number for a fluid of density 900 kg · m−3 and dynamic viscosity 0.038 Pa · s flowing in a
50 mm diameter pipe at the rate of 2.5 L · s−1. Es mate the mean velocity above which laminar flow would be
unlikely.
10. A liquid of kinema c viscosity 370 mm2 · s−1 flows through an 80 mm diameter pipe at 0.01 m3 · s−1. What type of
flow is to be expected?
