Para las siguientes situaciones de flujo constante, determine si el flujo es laminar o turbulento com
agua a 10 C fluyendo a una velocidad promedio de 2 m/s en una tubera de 100 mm;
Propiedades del agua lquida

2. El petrleo crudo es bombeado a 1.5 m/s a travs de un gasoducto de 1 m de dimetro. Arriba de qu valor de la
viscosidad del petrleo podra existir flujo laminar? D la respuesta em unidades SI y cgs.
3. La viscosidad aparente de un lquido no newtoniano a una velocidad de corte dada es el valor indicado por un
viscmetro que opera en el lquido a la velocidad de corte. sta es la viscosidad que podra estar indicada por el
viscmetro si el lquido fuera newtoniano.
a) Calcule la viscosidad aparente de una suspensin al 4% de pulpa de papel en agua a las velocidades de corte du/dy
de 10 s1 y 1 000 s1.
b) Repetir el clculo para una suspensin al 25% de arcilla en agua.

4. The quantities viscosity , velocity V, and surface tension Y may be combined into a dimensionless group. Find the
combination which is proportional to . This group has a customary name, which begins with C. Can you guess its
name?
5. A formula for estimating the mean free path of a perfect gas is:

where the latter form follows from the ideal-gas law, = p/RT. What are the dimensions of the constant 1.26?
Estimate the mean free path of air at 20C and 7 kPa. Is air rarefied at this condition?

6. A tire has a volume of 3.0 ft and a gage pressure of 32 psi at 75F. If the ambient pressure is sea-level standard,
what is the weight of air in the tire?
7. A tank holds 5 ft3 of air at 20C and 120 psi (gage). Estimate the energy in ft-lbf required to compress this air
isothermally from one atmosphere (14.7 psia = 2116 psfa).

8. A blimp is approximated by a prolate spheroid 90 m long and 30 m in diameter. Estimate the weight of 20C gas
within the blimp for (a) helium at 1.1 atm; and (b) air at 1.0 atm.
What might the difference between these two values represent?
