Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 5P
A student is to design an experiment involving dragging a sphere through a tank of fluid to illustrate (a) “creeping flow” (ReD < 1) and (b) flow for which the boundary layer becomes turbulent (ReD ≈ 2.5 × 105). The student proposes to use a smooth sphere of diameter 1 cm in SAE 10 oil at room temperature. Is this realistic for both cases? If either case is unrealistic, select an alternative reasonable sphere diameter and common fluid for that case.

1. The Stokes-Oseen formula for drag force Fon a sphere of diameter D in a fluid stream of low velocity
V, density p, and viscosity u is:
9T
F = 3TuDV +
16PD?
Is this formula dimensionally homogenous?
2. The efficiency n of a pump is defined as the (dimensionless) ratio of the power required to drive a
pump:
QAp
input power
Where Q is the volume rate of flow and Ap is the pressure rise produced by the pump. Suppose that a
certain pump develops a pressure of Ibf/in? (1ft = 12 in) when its flow rate is 40 L/s (1L =0.001 m). If
the input power is 16hp (1hp = 760 W), what is the efficiency?
Mott ."
cometer, which we can analyze later in Chap. 7. A small
ball of diameter D and density p, falls through a tube of test
liquid (p. µ). The fall velocity V is calculated by the time to
fall a measured distance. The formula for calculating the
viscosity of the fluid is
discusses a simple falling-ball vis-
(Po – p)gD²
18 V
This result is limited by the requirement that the Reynolds
number (pVD/u) be less than 1.0. Suppose a steel ball (SG =
7.87) of diameter 2.2 mm falls in SAE 25W oil (SG = 0.88)
at 20°C. The measured fall velocity is 8.4 cm/s. (a) What is
the viscosity of the oil, in kg/m-s? (b) Is the Reynolds num-
ber small enough for a valid estimate?
