submerged body moving with a relative velocity (u) in a fluid; the other variables being
the linear dimension (L), surface roughness (e), fluid density (p), and gravitational
acceleration (g).

Dimensional analysis is to be used to correlate data on bubble size with the properties of the liquid when gas bubbles are formed by a gas issuing from a small orifice below the liquid surface. Assume that the significant variables are bubble diameter D, orifice diameter d, liquid density rho, surface tension sigma (in N/m), liquid viscosity mu, and g. Select d, rho, and g as the core variables.

In such measurements a sampling probe is aligned with the flow as sketched in Fig. A suction pump draws air through the probe at volume flow rate V· as sketched. For accurate sampling, the air speed through the probe should be the same as that of the airstream (isokinetic sampling). However, if the applied suction is too large, as sketched in Fig, the air speed through the probe is greater than that of the airstream (super iso kinetic sampling). For simplicity consider a two-dimensional case in which the sampling probe height is h = 4.58 mm and its width is W = 39.5 mm. The values of the stream function corresponding to the lower and upper dividing streamlines are ?l = 0.093 m2/s and ?u = 0.150 m2/s, respectively. Calculate the volume flow rate through the probe (in units of m3/s) and the average speed of the air sucked through the probe.arrow_forward
