A concentric-cylinder viscometer is shown. Viscous torque is produced by the annular gap around the inner cylinder. Additional viscous torque is produced by the flat bottom of the inner cylinder as it rotates above the flat bottom of the stationary outer cylinder. Obtain an algebraic expression for the viscous torque due to flow in the annular gap of width a. Obtain an algebraic expression for the viscous torque due to flow in the bottom clearance gap of height b. Prepare a plot showing the ratio, b/a, required to hold the bottom torque to 1 percent or less of the annulus torque, versus the other geometric variables. What are the design implications? What modifications to the design can you recommend?

The fully-developed velocity profile for laminar flow in a pipe is very different from that for turbulent flow. For laminar flow, the velocity profile is parabolic (where is centerline velocity): V=1-(+)² For turbulent flow, the time averaged velocity profile can be approximated by a power-law profile: = (1-) Find the ratio of average velocity to centerline velocity, V/Ve, and the dimensionless radial location, 1* = r/R. where you would need to place a Pitot tube if it is to measure the average velocity in the pipe for (a) laminar flow and (b) turbulent flow with n = 6.0 at Rep = 20,000.

- A viscous incompressible liquid of density p and of dynamic viscosity n is carried upwards against gravity with the aid of moving side walls. This laminar flow is steady and fully developed in z-direction and there is no applied pressure gradient. The coordinate is fixed in the midway between the walls as shown below. 2d g=-gk liquid P, n x=-d x=d I. The velocity profile in z-direction is pg w(x) = (x2 – d) + U. 2n II. To be able to carry a net amount of liquid upwards, the wall velocities need to be greater than pgd²/(2n). III. If one of the walls stops, increasing the speed of the other wall to 3/2U would carry the same amount of liquid upwards.
