    Mid-Semester Examination, 2014
    Transport Phenomena (CH30012)
    Open Book Examination
    Only the following two textbooks are allowed- i) Fox & McDonald and ii) Bird Stewart & Lightfoot
    Photocopies of text books and class notes are not allowed

    1. A cone and plate viscometer consists of a cone rotating at a constant _bw
    angular velocity m over a stationary plate. Liquid fills the gap between
    f-.-~
    the cone and plate and the torque required to keep the plate stationary is
    measured through the deflection of a tensional spring. Simplify the
    Navier-Stokes equation assuming that flow is laminar and tangential
    (i.e., only viP ::f 0), and that the intertial and gravity terms are negligible.
    Assuming viP= rj(e), show that j(8) must satisfy

    f" + f' cot(}+ f (2- -.- -) = 0

    If the cone angle [ 1r 12- B1 ] is small, the velocity VIP may be fairly well approximated as linear in
    the vertical direction. Compute the torque on the lower plate in terms of Jl, R, m, and 81. If
    R=5cm, 81=89, torque=5x10.3 Nm, m = 2rpm, determine the viscosity ofthe liquid. 5+5=10

    2. Terminal velocity is attained when the drag force becomes equal to the net weight or buoyant
    force. In modeling this-phenomenon, including the unsteady part of the motion of a solid sphere in
    a stationary fluid, the following forces are of interest
    i) net gravity force ~ (Ps- Pf) L3 g
    ii) viscous force ~ JlLV
    iii) inertia of fluid (convective) ~ Pf L2 V 2
    iv) inertia of fluid (unsteady) ~ Pf L3 V/t ~ ~~~ ,.~
    Iiiii~~-~-~

    " "-rv) inertia of sphere ~ ,, PfL3 V/t '


    Estimating the forces on a per unit volume basis, demonstrate that the unsteady terms for the fluid
    are unimportant at times greater than ptf)2/Jl where Dis the diameter of the sphere. Also show that
    the motion of the solid particle cannot be assumed to be steady for times less than p5D2/Jl. For a
    glass (p ~ 2226 kg/m 3) sphere of diameter 1mm settling in water (J.L = 10- 3 kg/m.s), estimate
    these two characteristic times and explain their physical significances. 2x3 + 1 = 7

    A small solid sphere of density equal to 2600 kg/m3 and diameter 53x10-6 m starts to fall in water
    with zero velocity. Assuming that Re < 1 throughout its trajectory and the flow to be quasi-steady,
    obtain the position of the sphere and its velocity as a function of time. Estimate the time taken and
    the distance travelled by the sphere to attain 99 percent of its terminal velocity. Check whether
    your results are consistent with the conditions for neglecting the unsteady portion of the
    trajectory. 2+2+2+1 = 7

    3. A specific test section of a large duct has a cross section of 0.3m x 0.3m and is 0.6m long. Air (p =
    1.23 kg/m3) flows through this section with a velocity of 24.4 m/s at the beginning of the section.
    Turbulent boundary layers form at all sides of the duct with a thickness equal to 20.3 mm at
    location 1 (entry) and 30.5 mm at the exit of the duct. The boundary layer velocity profiles can be
    expressed by the 1dh power law profile. Evaluate the freestream velocity at the exit of this
    section and the change in static pressure over the length of the duct. 2
