A packed bed of uniform spherical particles of diameter, d= 2.5 mm, density ρs= 4000 kg/m3 , and voidage e= 0.45 is fluidised by means of a liquid of viscosity μ= 1 mN s/m2 and density ρ= 900 kg/m3 . (a) Starting from Carman’s and Ergun’s equations reported in the attached equations sheet, derive the corresponding expressions for the minimum fluidising velocity, umf, for both equations and explain their meaning.

1. A large open tank contains fresh water of constant density (p = 1000 kg/m3). a) Construct an algebraic expression for the absolute pressure (P) at a specific depth below the surface of the water (y) in terms of gravitational acceleration (g), the depth of water (y), and the density of water (ρ).

Say the density of air is 1.23 kg/m3 and the density of helium is 0.164 kg/m3 when both are at STP. Let's model a balloon as a sphere of radius 0.12 m, with mass 2 g. 1) What is the mass of the helium that would fill a single balloon? 2) What is the buoyant force on a single balloon? 3) What is the net force on a single balloon? 4) If we attach 0.5 m of string (properties: 800...

The volume fraction of particles is 30% in a container of internal diameter 2 cm Calculate: a)The absolute settling velocity that is apparent to the stationary observer in the lab frame. b)The slip velocity (Us) between solid and liquid phases. c) The superficial velocity of the particles in the lab frame.

A tetherball set has a ball with mass 0.411 kg and a nylon string with diameter 2.50 mm, Young's modulus 4.00 GPa, and density 1150 kg/m3.

A tetherball set has a ball with mass 0.411 kg and a nylon string with diameter 2.50 mm, Young's modulus 4.00 GPa, and density 1150 kg/m3. The nylon string has a length of 2.200 m when the ball is at rest (hanging straight down). While playing tetherball, Monty hits the ball around the pole so it moves in a horizontal circle with the string at an angle of 65.0° to the pole. (a) How much does the string stretch compared...

A bubble is sphere with 10 mm radius and a density of 1.0 kg/m^3. This goes up in a glass of water which has Pwater=0.95 g/cm^3. It starts at the bottom of a glass which is 10 cm tall. Cd=0.8 Hypothesize how long it would take the bubble to rise to the top of the glass. Draw a complete force diagram of the bubble, including weight, buoyancy and drag forces. Make sure your coordinate axis points in the direction of...
