NUMERICAL PROBLEMS FOR FLUID DYNAMICS

1. a. Calculate the critical velocity for air flowing through a tube of 1 ×10−2 m radius. For air
ρ=1.3 kgm−3 and η=181× 10−7 decapoise.

b. The flow rate from a tap of diameter 1.25cm is 3 l/ min. The coefficient of viscosity of water is 10−3 .
Characterise the flow.

c. A liquid is flowing through a horizontal pipe line of varying cross-section. At a certain cross-section,
the diameter of the pipe is and the velocity of the flow of the liquid is . Calculate the velocity of flow
