A typical capillary viscometer has a large-diameter reservoir and a long, small diameter, vertical tube. The sample is placed in the reservoir and the flow rate due to gravity is measured. The tube is 0.1 m long and has a 1 mm ID. The height of the fluid in the reservoir above the inlet to the tube is 0.02 m. The fluid being tested has a density of 1050 kg / m'. The flow rate is 108 m³ / s. What is the viscosity of the fluid? Typical capillary viscometer
Problem 3: IV Tube I Doctors use IV drips to deliver saline fluid (s = 1.2) into the vein of patients (hence IV for intravenous). Assume the gage pressure head is 0.00 m at the top of the saline bag and 0.05 m in the vein. The saline fluid has kinematic viscosity v = 1×106 m²/s. The tube is 1.8 m long and has inner diameter of 1.2 mm. If the required flow is 1000 mL/hr, what is the required height from the top of the saline bag to the patient's vein?

The patient's blood pressure is 120 over 80, so the pressure in the vein is Pgage = 80 mm Hg. The smooth plastic tube is 1.5 m long. For medical reasons, we need a flow of Q = 10 mL/min. Assume fluid properties equal to water at 30°C. Part A Classify the flow: □ laminar □turbulent a Part B If all head loss is in the smooth plastic tube, what size (inner diameter) is required? [mm]

Hi good evening. Can you help me to answer my assigment ASAP please. I really need it.
A fluid is placed between two parallel plates with area of 2 m2. The lower plate is pulled with 0.4 N with velocity of 0.4 m/s (in x direction), while the upper plate is pulled in other direction (in –x direction) with 0.75 N with velocity of V2 m/s. If the distance between the plates is 1 cm, the viscosity of fluid is 0.01 kg/m.s, find V2.1. Calculate ryx (from the eqn. ryx = ∑ F), consider directions when summing up the forces!2. Use Newton’s law of viscosity to calculate V2
