Question #1 (12 Marks)

Answer following questions.

I) The dynamic viscosity, µ of an incompressible liquid is primarily a function of

(a) Density,
(b) Static pressure,
(c) Fluid flow speed,
(d) Surface tension,
(e) Temperature.

II) Property of a fluid by which molecules of different kinds of fluid are attracted to each other is
called

(a) adhesion
(b) surface tension
(c) cohesion
(d) compressibility

III) List 3 material properties of a fluid that can be affected by an increase in pressure. Provide
explanation if the effect on the material property would be different (higher/lower) or the
same for a liquid and a gas.

Question #2 (24 Marks)

Determine the difference in pressure between the centerline points A and B (∆ P=P A−P B ¿in the
two pipelines shown in the figure below, if the manometer liquid CD is at the level shown. The
density of the liquid AC and DB is ρ=800 ¿, and in CD ρ=1100¿. Include any assumptions you
may have made to solve the problem.

Solution:

Givens: Equations: Find:


ρ1=800 ¿ P2−P1=−ρg ( Z 2−Z 1 ) (∆ P=P A−P B ¿
ρ2=1100 ¿
g=9.81¿

P A −PC =−ρ 1 g ( h A −hC )


PC −P D =−ρ2 g ( hC −h D )
P D−P B=−ρ 1 g ( h D−hB )

P A −PB =−ρ1 g ( h A−hC )− ρ2 g ( hC −h D )− ρ1 g ( h D−hB )


P A −PB =−[ ( 800 ) ( 9.81 ) (−0.03 ) ] − [ (1100 ) ( 9.81 ) (−0.065 ) ] −[ ( 800 )( 9.81 )( 0.25 ) ]
P A −PB =[ ( 800 ) ( 9.81 ) ( 0.03 ) ] + [ ( 1100 )( 9.81 ) ( 0.065 ) ] −[ ( 800 ) ( 9.81 ) ( 0.25 ) ]
P A −PB =[ 235.44 ] + [ 701.415 ] −[ 1962 ]
P A −PB =−1025.145[ Pa]
∆ P=P A−P B=−1.03[kPa]
