Explain how some of the metric v/s imperial conversion factors or constants were obtained and used in various parts of the world. For example, the use of the Gravitational constant “g” in calculating weight in metric system v/s imperial system.
Consider the following equation. All three of the terms in parentheses are dimensionless groups. Because kC is difficult to determine directly, the other variables are measured and kC is calculated from the given equation.
What is the estimated value of kC? What are the units of kC? Show your work. The following values were measured: D = 8.0 mm, DAB = 0.475 cm2/s, μ = 1.12 x 10–3 N-s/m2, ρ = 1.00 x 10–3 g/cm3, v = 15.0 m/s.

- Write the primary dimensions of each of the following variables, showing all your work: (a) specific heat at constant pressure cp; (b) specific weight ? g; (c) specific enthalpy h.arrow_forwardThe 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). %3Darrow_forwardUnits and dimensions are important in any engineering analysis.
