Drag measurements were taken for a 5 cm diameter sphere in water at 20 °C to predict the drag force of a 1 m diameter balloon rising in air with standard temperature and pressure. Given kinematic viscosity of water (v) = 1.0 X 10^-6 m²/s and kinematic viscosity of air (v) = 1.46 X 10^-5 m²/s.

Perform the Buckingham Pi theorem to generate a relationship for F_D as a function of the independent variables. Assume the drag F_D is a function of diameter (d), velocity (V), fluid density (ρ) and kinematic viscosity (v)

Water flows at 20 cm^3/sec through a long straight tube that has an inner diameter of 1 cm. As the water flows, a toxin leaches from the tube into the water. At the inner surface of the tube, the toxin attains its saturation concentration, Csat = 2 mM. Fortunately, upon entering the water the toxin also irreversibly degrades into a non-toxic compound; this degradation follows first-order kinetics. Toxin Diffusivity D = 10^-5 cm^2/sec Toxin mass transfer coefficient k = 1.38...

Recall that at 4°C, water has a density of 1.0000 g cm-3. However, at 20°C, water has a density of 0.9982 g cm-3. A student is using a balance to determine the difference between the amount of water transferred using a volume from a 10 mL volumetric pipette compared to a 10 mL in a 50 mL graduated cylinder. To do this, the student measures the mass of a beaker and then adds water from the volumetric pipette. The student records both measurements...
