Question: HW . Using Figure 1 , the lower plate is being pulled at a relative velocity of 0 . 4 0 m s The fluid

HW. Using Figure 1, the lower plate is being pulled at a relative velocity of 0.40ms The fluid used is water at 24C
a. How far the two plates should be placed so that the shear stress r is 0.30Nm2. Also calculate the shear rate.
b. If oil with a viscosity of 210-2Pa.s is used at the same plate spacing and velocity as in part (a), what is the shear stress and the shear rate?
HW. Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) flows through a 2.5 in. ID pipe at 20C, at which temperature its density is 0.805gcm3 and its viscosity is 0.43 centipoise kgm.s) the average fluid velocity is 0.05fts. Determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
6 HW. A hydrocarbon liquid enters a simple flow system shown in Fig. 3 at an average velocity of 1.282ms, where A1=4.3310-3m2 and =902kgm3. The liquid is heated in the process and the exit density is 875kgm3. The cross- sectional area at point 2 is 5.2610-3m2. The process is steady state.
a. Calculate the mass flow rate (m) at the exit and the entrance.
b. Calculate the average velocity G in 1.
 HW. Using Figure 1, the lower plate is being pulled at
