Part A: List of results: Viscosity of #30: 0.368 Viscosity of #50: 0.698 Radius of small sphere as measured in both videos: 1.25mm
Part B: Measurement 1 Measurement 2 Liquid used water 20% sucrose solution Temperature Room (25C) Room (25C) Capillary length (mm) 64 mm 64 mm Capillary radius (mm) 0.30 mm 0.30 mm Pressure difference (Pa) 1092 1237 Average Flow rate (mL/s = cm 3 /s) 0.0420 0.0396 Viscosity (Pa·s) 0.00130 0.00155 Sample calculation
Question: If you were to break the 64 mm capillary in half and repeat the flow rate measurement with water, how would your measured values change? Q is proportional to 1/L, so if the L is halved the Q will be doubled . Besides, during the experiment, it is obvious that the Q for 33 mm capillary is almost twice the 64 mm capillary. Based on your results discuss how well Poiseuille's law applied to the movement of fluids through capillary tubes due to a pressure differential. Discuss any limitations of the lab and any suggested improvements Poiseuille’s law represents the flow rate of the liquid. As we add more water (bigger h) the ΔP = ρgh will increase which cause the Q (flow rate) to increase. Regarding the length of the capillary, we see a greater Q whenever we use a smaller one. When the L increases, pressure gradient ΔP/L decreases, so the flow rate (Q) goes down. This shows that Poiseuille’s law applies to the results of our lab. A difficulty we had in this lab was that the estimated time was much less than the actual time needed for the experiment.
