Fluid Properties

A liquid fills a horizontal capillary tube whose one end is dipped in a large pool of the liquid. Experiments show that the distance $L$ travelled by the liquid meniscus inside the capillary in time $t$ is given by $L =...

Consider fluid flow between two infinite horizontal plates which are parallel (the gap between them being $$50$$ $$mm$$). The top plate is sliding parallel to the stationary bottom plate at a speed of $$3$$ $$m/s.$$ The...

The difference in pressure (in $$N/{m^2}$$) across an air bubble of diameter $$0.001$$ $$m$$ immersed in water (surface tension $$ = 0.072$$ $$N/m$$) is _____________.

In a simple concentric shaft-bearing arrangement, the lubricant flows in the $$2$$ $$mm$$ gap between the shaft and the bearing. The flow may be assumed to be a plane Couette flow with zero pressure gradient. The diamete...

A lightly loaded full journal bearing has a journal of $$50mm,$$ bush bore of $$50.50mm$$ and bush length of $$20mm.$$ if rotational speed of journal is $$1200rpm$$ and average viscosity of liquid lubricant is $$0.03$$ $...

A journal bearing has a shaft diameter of $$40$$ $$mm$$ and a length of $$40mm.$$ The shaft is rotating at $$20$$ $$rad/s$$ and the viscosity of the lubricant is $$20$$ $$mPa$$-$$s$$. The clearance is $$0.020$$ $$mm.$$ T...

Oil in a hydraulic cylinder is compressed from an initial volume $$2{m^3}$$ to $$1.96{m^3}$$. If the pressure of oil in the cylinder changes from $$40$$ $$MPa$$ to $$80$$ $$MPa$$ during compression, the bulk modulus of e...

Newton's law of viscosity states that the shear stress in a fluid is proportional to :

An incompressible fluid (kinematic viscosity $$ = 7.4 \times {10^{ - 7}}\,\,{m^2}/s,$$ specific gravity, $$0.88$$) is held between two parallel plates. If the top plate is moved with a velocity of $$0.5$$ $$m/s$$ while t...

The $$S{\rm I}$$ unit of kinematic viscosity $$\left( \upsilon \right)$$ is :

Kinematic viscosity of air at $${20^0}C$$ is given to be $$1.6 \times {10^{ - 5}}\,\,\,{m^2}s.$$ Its kinematic viscosity at $${70^0}C$$ will be varying approximately :

If $$'P'$$ is the gauge pressure within a spherical droplet, then gauge pressure within a bubble of the same fluid and of same size will be:

The dimension of surface tension is :

A fluid is one which can be defined as a substance that:

A fluid is said to be Newtonian fluid when the shear stress is
