Chapter 2: Problem 48

A 73 -mm-diameter aluminum \((\mathrm{SG}=2.64)\) piston of 100 \(\mathrm{mm}\) length resides in a stationary 75 -mm-inner-diameter steel tube lined with SAE \(10 \mathrm{W}-30\) oil at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). A mass \(m=2 \mathrm{kg}\) is suspended from the free end of the piston. The piston is set into motion by cutting a support cord. What is the terminal velocity of mass \(m ?\) Assume a linear velocity profile within the oil.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The terminal velocity can be determined by balancing the forces on the system under equilibrium. These will include the weight of the mass and piston, the buoyancy force and the viscous force. A modified form of Stokes' law will be used for determining the viscous force which can be solved to get the terminal velocity.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate properties of the Piston

The Volume \(V_{piston}\) of the piston is given by \(\pi r_{piston}^2 h_{piston}\), where \(r_{piston}\) is the radius and \(h_{piston}\) is the height. The Density \(\rho_{piston}\) is given by \(SG * \rho_{water}\), where \(\rho_{water}\) is 1000 kg/m^3. The weight \(W_{piston}\) of the piston can be calculated as \(\rho_{piston} * g * V_{piston}\), where g is 9.8 m/s^2.
02

Application of Forces - Balance Equation

The mass m is suspended from the piston and will move downwards when the support cord is cut. The system is in equilibrium when the weight of the mass and piston is equal to the Buoyancy force and the frictional (Viscous) force. So, \(W_{piston}+W_{mass} = B_{piston}+F_{viscous}\). Here the buoyancy force \(B_{piston}\) can be calculated by \(\rho_{oil} * g * V_{piston}\), and the weight of the mass is \(m * g\). The Viscous force \(F_{viscous}\) can be calculated by the Modified Stoke's Law \( \mu_{oil} d_{gap}^2 * v_t / h_{piston}\) where \(\mu_{oil}\) is the dynamic viscosity of oil, \(d_{gap}\) implies the gap between the piston and the tube and \(v_t\) is the terminal velocity.
03

Solve for Terminal Velocity

From Step 2, rearrange the equation to solve for \(v_t\), the terminal velocity. This will be equal to \((W_{piston}+W_{mass} - B_{piston}) h_{piston} / ( \mu_{oil} d_{gap}^2 )\). Substitute the calculated or given values in this step in the equation to find the terminal velocity.

A concentric cylinder viscometer may be formed by rotating the inner member of a pair of closely fitting cylinders. For small clearances, a linear velocity profile may be assumed in the liquid filling the annular clearance gap. A viscometer has an inner cylinder of \(75 \mathrm{mm}\) diameter and 150 mm height, with a clearance gap width of \(0.02 \mathrm{mm}\) A torque of \(0.021 \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}\) is required to turn the inner cylinder at \(100 \mathrm{rpm} .\) Determine the viscosity of the liquid in the clearance gap of the viscometer.

A flow field is given by \(\vec{V}=A x i+2 A y\), where \(A=2 s^{-1}\) Verify that the parametric equations for particle motion are given by \(x_{p}=c_{1} e^{A t}\) and \(y_{p}=c_{2} e^{2 u_{l}} .\) Obtain the equation for the pathline of the particle located at the point \((x, y)=(2,2)\) at the instant \(t=0 .\) Compare this pathline with the streamline through the same point.

The variation with temperature of the viscosity of air is correlated well by the empirical Sutherland equation \\[\mu=\frac{b T^{1 / 2}}{1+S / T}\\] Best-fit values of \(b\) and \(S\) are given in Appendix A for use with SI units. Use these values to develop an equation for calculating air viscosity in British Gravitational units as a function of absolute temperature in degrees Rankine. Check your result using data from Appendix A.

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 cone and plate viscometer shown is an instrument used frequently to characterize non-Newtonian fluids. It consists of a flat plate and a rotating cone with a very obtuse angle (typically \(\theta\) is less than 0.5 degrees). The apex of the cone just touches the plate surface and the liquid to be tested fills the narrow gap formed by the cone and plate. Derive an expression for the shear rate in the liquid that fills the gap in terms of the geometry of the system. Evaluate the torque on the driven cone in terms of the shear stress and geometry of the system.
