1A 2022 Mid Sem TP 2022 2

This document is a mid-semester exam for a Transport Phenomena course. It contains 3 questions assessing student knowledge of transport phenomena concepts. Question 1 (worth 8 marks) asks students to write the equation for fluid flow in a pipe based on the Reynolds number and list the important assumptions. Question 2 (worth 6 marks) asks students to calculate properties like viscosity and thermal conductivity for various fluids using data from tables, showing the work clearly. Question 3 (worth 15 marks total) has two parts that ask students to derive equations for volumetric flow rate and drag force on tube walls for power-law fluids in different geometries, like falling film flow or slit flow, explaining assumptions.

Q1.) Show for flow of fluid though pipe 𝑓 = 𝑅𝑒 and write all important assumptions needed for this.

8
When this equation can also be rewritten as 𝑓 = 𝑅𝑒 ? (4)

Q2.) Calculate all properties for Q2a, Q2b, Q2c using data in table E.1 and table E.2. Clearly write all data
and formula and calculate answers systematically and explains the process clearly. Direct answers will be
given zero (2 X 3)
Q2a.) Calculate the viscosity of Propene and dichloromethane at 45 ºC at atmospheric pressure
Q2b.) Calculate the thermal conductivity of Propyne and bisisocyanide at 60 ºC at atmospheric pressure
Q2c.) Calculate the diffusivity of benzene-cyclohexane system at 30 ºC at atmospheric pressure

Q3.) Consider power-law fluid as given below in Q3a and Q3b


A power-law fluid, is a type of generalized Newtonian fluid (time independent Non-Newtonian fluid) for
which the shear stress,𝜏, is given by

𝜕𝑣 𝑛
𝜏 = 𝐾( )
𝜕𝑦
Where:
𝐾 is the flow consistency index (SI units Pa sn),
𝜕𝑣
is the shear rate or the velocity gradient perpendicular to the plane of shear (SI unit s−1), and
𝜕𝑦

𝑛 is the flow behaviour index (dimensionless).


The quantity
𝜕𝑣 𝑛−1
𝜇𝑒𝑓𝑓 = 𝐾 ( )
𝜕𝑦
𝜇𝑒𝑓𝑓 represents an apparent or effective viscosity as a function of the shear rate (SI unit Pa s).

Q3a.) Consider flow of falling film of power-law fluid on the outside of circular tube as shown in Figure
(3a), observe figure carefully and derive the equation for volumetric flow rate of fluids and drag force on
wall. Explain all assumptions properly. (7)

Q3b.) Consider flow through a slit of power-law fluid, with B << W << L as shown in Figure (3b), observe
figure carefully and derive the equation for volumetric flow rate of fluid and drag force on wall. Explain all
assumptions properly. (8)
