When a fluid is contained within a pipe or capillary tube, is it acted on by the largest force of friction near the walls or in the center of the tube diameter? Explain
Ans.
When a fluid is contained within a pipe or capillary tube, it is acted on by the largest force of friction near the walls.
The inner surface of the pipe or capillary tube offers some friction. As the layers of the fluid from the walls increases, the friction experienced decreases. So, the largest friction is experienced near the walls.

An experimental apparatus delivers a viscous fluid through a capillary tube 10 cm long with a bore diameter of 1 mm. The tube is broken, but tubing of bore diameter 2 mm is all that is available. What should be the length of the new tube in cm so that the experiment is otherwise unchanged, i.e., so that the volume flow rate remains as before?
Consider a pipe carrying a fluid which changes its tube diameter by a factor of 4, what is the change in the liquid's velocity.
105. When an incompressible fluid flows steadily through a round pipe, the pressure drop AP due to friction is given by where ? is the fluid density, Vis the velocity, L/D is the pipe length-to- diameter ratio, and f is the D'Arcy friction coefficient. For laminar flow, the friction coefficient f can be related to the Reynolds number, Re, by a relationship of the form ??? Use the measured data in Table 5 to determine a and b by a...
7. Two capillary tubes are placed vertically in an open container of water. One tube has a diameter of 2.0 mm, and the other a diameter of 1.0 inch. In which tube will the water rise higher? 8. A sliding plate viscometer, as shown below, is used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. The plate area is 0.75 fr. A force of 1.5 x 10 lb moves the upper plate at a velocity of 10.0 ft/s. What is the...
Water flows steadily downwards through a circular pipe of internal diameter 0.15 m inclined at 30° to the horizontal. A U-tube manometer is used to determine the pressure difference between two points displaced axially along the pipe by a distance 1.25 m. The reading on the manometer is 0.25 m of mercury. 1.25 m 0.15 m 30 0.25 m mercury Figure 2: Manometer and pipe Neglecting the thickness of the wall, determine between points 1 and 2: a. The difference...
4. An incompressible fluid with viscosity u and density p was contained in pipe of length L and radius R. Initially the fluid is in rest. At t=0, a pressure difference of AP is applied across the pipe length which induces the fluid flow in axial direction (V2) Only varies with time (t) and pipe radius (r). There is no effect of gravity. To describe the fluid flow characteristics, after the pressure gradient is applied, answer the following questions: a)...
A magnet is dropped down a copper pipe. In the walls of the tube, there is an induced voltage as the magnet falls. Many field lines that are appear where where there originally were no field lines. When there is a change in flux, there is an induced current in the conductor that generates the magnetic field opposing the change. Some opposing force arises in the pipe that pushes up on the magnet as its going down, therefore making it...

A fluid of density 1300 kg/m3 flows out through a 3 meter diameter pipe without friction at a rate of 1500 L/s. Find the velocity of the fluid as it flows out of the 3 meter diameter pipe. Note that the 'speed' sensor does not give enough significant figures... use the sensor, to prove your calculations (and not the opposite!)
