The property of a fluid called viscosity is related to its internal friction and resistance to being deformed. The viscosity of water, for instance, is less than that of molasses and honey, just as the viscosity of light motor oil is less than that of grease. A unit used in mechanical engineering to describe viscosity is called the poise, named after the physiologist Jean Louis Poiseuille, who performed early experiments in fluid mechanics. The unit is defined by 1 poise = 0.1 (N s)/m2. Show that 1 poise is also equivalent to 1 g/(cm s).

A new thermometer is invented where the temperature scale is in degree G (°G). The boiling point of water is 900°G and the freezing point of water is 120°G. Derive an equation for conversion from °G to °C.
A- Womersley number (a) of a human aorta is 20 and for the rabbit aorta is 17, the blood density is approximately the same across the species. The values of viscosity were 0.0035 Ns/m² for the human and 0.0040 Ns/m² for the rabbit. The diameter of the aorta is 2.0 cm for the man, and 0.7 cm for the rabbit, estimate the heart rate beats per minute (bpm) for both species
A ship 350 m long moves in sea water whose density is 1030 kg/m3 . A 1:120 model of this ship is to be tested in a wind tunnel. The velocity of the wind tunnel around the model is 35 m/s and the resistance of the model is 65 N. Determine the velocity and also the resistance of the ship in sea water. The density of air is given as 1.24 kg/m3 . Take the kinematic viscosity of air and sea water as 0.012 stokes and 0.018 stokes respectively.
Surface tension is due to uneven molecular attraction between immiscible fluid media and solid surface. Its importance is governed by dimensionless parameter Which of the Inertia force called Weber number given by We = Surface tension force™ following statements are correct? (i) Surface tension becomes important when the length scale L is small such as in ink jet printing, coating of thin film, oxygenation of water by falling rain drops. (ii) 111 Super-hydrophobicity can be achieved by micro/nano texturing of surface such as in lotus leave, butterfly and dragonfly wing. During oil spill in ocean, oil floats and spreads out due to gravity. By conservation of mass, the oil film becomes thinner as it spreads. Finally, the surface tension force becomes important causing the formation of tiny oil droplets. (A) (B) (C) (D) (i) and (ii) (i) and (iii) (ii) and (iii) All of the above

A thin layer of spherical particles rests on the bottom of a horizontal tube as shown in the figure below. When an incompressible fluid flows through the tube, it is observed that at some critical velocity the particles will rise and be transported along the tube. A model is to be used to determine this critical velocity. Assume the critical velocity, V, to be a function of the pipe diameter, D, particle diameter, d, the fluid density, p, and viscosity, μ, the density of the particles, Pp, and the acceleration of gravity, g. For a length scale of Dm/D=1/2 and a fluid density scale of Pm/p=1/0.9, what will be the critical velocity scale V/V (assuming all similarity requirements are satisfied)? Vm/V= i
An incompressible fluid oscillates harmonically (V = Vosinut, where Vis the velocity) with a frequency of 9 rad/s in a 6-in.-diameter pipe. A 1/5 scale model is to be used to determine the pressure difference per unit length, Ap, (at any instant) along the pipe. Assume that Api= f(D, Vo, w, t, u, p) where D is the pipe diameter, w the frequency, t the time, the u fluid viscosity, and p the fluid density. If the same fluid is used in the model and the prototype, at what frequency should the model operate? Wm i rad/s
