A gas is under
pressure of 21.868 bar abs at
40°C.
1) Compute the pressure, in kPaa
Velocity profile
is from “no-slip
condition”
In fluid
dynamics, the
no-slip condition
for viscous
fluids assumes
that at a solid
boundary, the
fluid will have
zero velocity
relative to the
Moving in the boundary. The

all fluid–solid
boundaries is
equal to that of
Moving in the solid
opposite boundary.

7. A capillary tube is immersed vertically in a water container. Knowing that
water starts to evaporate when the pressure drops below 2 kPa, determine
the tube diameter (mm) for maximum capillary rise case. Take the contact
angle at the inner wall of the tube to be 6° and the surface tension to be
1.00N/m.
Water backs up behind a
concrete dam as shown in
figure. Leakage under the
foundation gives a pressure
distribution under the dam as
indicated. If the water depth, Wc 720,000 lbs
h, is too great, the dam will
topple over about its toe
(point A). Base your analysis
on a unit length of the dam.
The specific weight of the
concrete is 150 lb/ft3. L = 120 Fv 4,680 lbs
