Properties of Fluids

The term fluid represents a type of substance that can easily change its shape under any external pressure/force and can flow. Fluids can acquire any shape in which it is stored and can resist normal stresses but cannot resist shear stress in rest condition. Whenever external shear stress is applied to fluids, it starts to flow. The fluids may be liquid or gas. Example- water, air, etc.

A milkshake has fairly similar density to that of water (m s = 1200 kg/m3) but is far more viscous ( = 1kg/ms) (a) Say you try to drink a milkshake through a straw that is 30 cm long and 5 mm in diameter. Your lungs are capable of creating a vacuum pressure of 3000 Pa. (Vacuum pressure just means a pressure below that of the atmosphere, so plung = patm 3000 Pa.) You Önd that if you place the straw just at the surface of the liquid, you are unable to suck the milkshake through the straw, but if you push the straw deeper into the shake, you can. To what depth, d, would you need to push the straw in order to just start to sip the milkshake?(b) Suppose you push the straw to a depth of 10 cm and suck with a suction pressure of 3000 N/m2. What volume áow rate of milkshake can you produce through the straw

A liquid of density ? and viscosity ? flows by gravity through a hole of diameter d in the bottom of a tank of diameter DFig. . At the start of the experiment, the liquid surface is at height h above the bottom of the tank, as sketched. The liquid exits the tank as a jet with average velocity V straight down as also sketched. Using dimensional analysis, generate a dimensionless relationship for V as a function of the other parameters in the problem. Identify any established nondimensional parameters that appear in your result. (Hint: There are three length scales in this problem. For consistency, choose h as your length scale.) except for a different dependent parameter, namely, the time required to empty the tank tempty. Generate a dimensionless relationship for tempty as a function of the following independent parameters: hole diameter d, tank diameter D, density ? , viscosity ? , initial liquid surface height h, and gravitational acceleration g.
