Question
Problem 88P
What is surface tension? What is it caused by? Why is the surface tension also called surface energy?
Solution
Step 1
The tension experienced by the molecules on the surface due to attraction force is called surface tension.Most of the molecules in a liquid have several neighboring molecules that they interact with, but the molecules along the surface have no neighboring molecules above them, which increases the strength of the surface molecules with each other.

Problem 77P The viscosity of some fluids, called magnetorheologi- cal (MR) fluids, changes when a magnetic field is applied. Such fluids involve micron-sized magnetizable particles suspended in an appropriate carrier liquid, and are suitable for use in controllable hydraulic clutches. See Fig. P2-49. The MR fluids can have much higher viscosities than the ER fluids, and they often exhibit shear-thinning behavior in which the viscosity of the fluid decreases as the applied shear force increases. This behavior is also known as pseudoplastic behavior, and can be successfully represented by Herschel-Bulkley constitutive model expressed as ? =?y + K(du/dy)m. Here ? is the shear stress applied, ?y is the yield stress,K is the consistency index, and m is the power index.

Problem 46P When modeling fluid flows with small changes in temperature and pressure, the Boussinesq approximation is often used in which the fluid density is assumed to vary linearly with changes in temperature. The Boussinesq approximation is ? = ?()[1 –?(T– To)], where ? is assumed to be constant over the given temperature range; ? is evaluated at reference temperature T0, taken as some average or mid-value temperature in the flow; and ?0 is a reference density, also evaluated at T0. The Boussinesq approximation is used to model a flow of air at nearly constant pressure,P = 95.0 kPa, but the temperature varies between 20°C and 60°C. Using the mid-way point (40°C) as the reference temperature, calculate the density at the two temperature extremes using the Boussinesq approximation, and compare with the actual density at these two temperatures obtained from the ideal gas law. In particular, for both temperatures calculate the percentage error caused by the Boussinesq approximation.

Chapter : Problem 12 Fluid Mechanics 2
Problem 12P The in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25°C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m3, determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50°C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric - pressure to be 100 kPa. FIGURE P2-14
