For a creeping flow, find the viscosity of liquid. Given: solid sphere, 8.0mm=D, density= 1200 kg/m^3 is released in a liquid with density= 1100 kg/m^3 at a terminal velocity 9.00mm/s
Solution :
For creeping Flow ( Stokes Flow) We have to take equation of Terminal Velocity from literature.
Equation as following:
Where,
Vt = Terminal Velocity
r = Radius of moving Sphere
= Density of Moving Sphere
= Density of liquid
g = gravitational accelaration
= Viscosity of Liquid
Given Data:
Put All above Values in Equation & Find .
= 0.3871 kg/m.sec
Answer:
Viscosity of Liquid = = 0.3871 kg/m.sec
