The pressure drop in a long, uniform length of pipe is a function of fluid density, mean velocity in the pipe, the diameter of the pipe, viscosity, the length of the pipe, and the equivalent sand grain roughness (units of length) of the pipe. The equation is shown below. Develop the dimensional matrix using M (mass), L (length), and T (time) for this phenomenon, and determine its rank. Ap = f(p.V.D.µ.L.ɛ)

Fluid often passes through pores in cell membranes or cell layers. The dimensions are small and the velocities low, so viscous forces dominate (low Reynolds number). Use dimensional analysis, or an approximate method of analysis based on the viscous flow equations, to determine the scaling law that expresses the dependence of the pressure drop across a pore (ΔP) on the flow rate through it (Q). The other parameters that are given include the pore radius, R, and the viscosity of the fluid, μ. The membrane itself should be considered infinitesimally thin so that its thickness does not influence the pressure drop.
For many applications, it is accurate enough to treat water as incompressible. But for a more detailed understanding of fluid flows, compressibility must be taken into account. Fortunately, the bulk modulus of water is close to constant, so let's model the pressure in a motionless water column assuming that the bulk modulus is a constant, K, = 2.1 GPa. The pressure and density at the top surface of the water column are 6. Po =1000 hPa and P, =1000 kg/m², respectively, and the downward acceleration due to gravity is g =9.8 m/s. Take depth, z, to be positive downward with z = 0 at the top %3D %3D %3D surface. Using the definition of bulk modulus, derive an expression for the density field, p, in terms of pressure, p, and the given parameters. Leave all parameters а. as algebraic.
