Assignment 1 Dimensional Analasis

This document outlines 6 assignments related to dimensional analysis and Buckingham's π theorem. Students are asked to: 1) Explain Buckingham's π theorem, 2) Use it to derive an expression for pressure difference in a pipe, 3) Derive an expression for resisting force of a supersonic plane, 4) Prove an expression for frictional torque on a rotating disc, 5) Derive an expression for discharge over a rectangular weir, and 6) Prove the scale ratio for discharge. The assignments cover applying Buckingham's π theorem to derive functional relationships between variables in fluid mechanics problems.

as dependent upon the length of air craft l, velocity V, viscosity of air µ, air
density ρ and bulk modulus of elasticity of air K, Express the functional
relationship between this variables with resisting force.
4. The frictional torque T of a disc of diameter D rotating at a speed N in a
fluid of viscosity µ and density ρ in a turbulent flow is given by,
