(II) A viscometer consists of two concentric cylinders, 10.20 cm and 10.60 cm in diameter. A liquid fills the space between them to a depth of 15.0 cm. The outer cylinder is fixed, and a torque of 0.024 m N keeps the inner cylinder turning at a steady rotational speed of 57 rev/min. What is the viscosity of the liquid?

(II) Poiseuille’s equation does not hold if the flow velocity is high enough that turbulence sets in. The onset of turbulence occurs when the Reynolds number, Re, exceeds approximately 2000. Re is defined as where is the average speed of the fluid, ρ is its density, is its viscosity, and r is the radius of the tube in which the fluid is flowing. Determine if blood flow through the aorta is laminar or turbulent when the average speed of blood in the aorta (r = 1.2 cm) during the resting part of the heart’s cycle is about 35 cm/s.

What must be the pressure difference between the two ends of a 1.6-km section of pipe, 29 cm in diameter, if it is to transport oil (ρ = 950 kg/m³, η=0.20 Pa⋅s) at a rate of 650 cm³/s?
547views - Multiple ChoiceFluid in a pipe flows between two sections with different diameters as it flows from location A to B. Point A has diameter D=0.040m, and point B has diameter D=0.080m. How do the volumetric flow rate and the flow velocity at point B compare to those at point A?275views
