In force calculations it is usually assumed that the pressure in still air is constant.The objective is to examine the limitations of that assumption.(a) Derive an expression for P(z) in static air,
One way to monitor the flow rate in a pipe is to use a manometer to measure the pressure drop P1 – P2 between taps spaced a known distance apart. Two arrangements for liquid pipe flow are shown in

Suppose that it is desired to measure the Darcy permeability k of certain gels that consist of crosslinked polymers with water-filled interstices. These hydrogels are routinely fabricated as disks of
Particles may aggregate in water as a result of their hydrophobicity or Van der Waals attractions. Such aggregates are called flocs and the process is termed flocculation. (Aerosols also can
Two mechanisms for the deposition of inhaled particles in the airways are gravitational settling, discussed in Section 3.3, and inertial impaction, depicted in Fig. P3.7. If fluid paths suddenly
The objective is to predict how long it takes a small fluid sphere, initially at rest, to reach its terminal velocity. To derive the most general results for Re < 1, assume that the
