The kirematic viscosity of oxygen at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ard a pressure of \(150 \mathrm{kPa}(\mathrm{abs})\) is 0.104 stokes. Determine the dynamic viscosity of oxygen at this temperature and pressure.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The dynamic viscosity of oxygen at the given temperature and pressure is approximately \(1.965 * 10^{-5} \, \frac{kg}{m*s}\).

Step by step solution

01

Using standard conditions to find the density of Oxygen

The standard conditions for gas density refer to the air density at sea level in an average temperature of \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) (293.15 K). The value is \(1.2754 \frac{kg}{m^3}\). However, these conditions consider the pressure of \(1 \mathrm{atm}\) or \(101.325 \mathrm{kPa}\), while in our case the pressure is \(150 \mathrm{kPa}\). The density of a gas is directly proportional to its pressure, so in order to obtain the density of oxygen under these conditions, we can use the following proportion: \(\frac{P1}{P2} = \frac{\rho1}{\rho2}\). Given that \(P1 = 150 \mathrm{kPa}\), \(P2 = 101.325 \mathrm{kPa}\), and \(\rho1\) is what we want to find, while \(\rho2 = 1.2754 \frac{kg}{m^3}\), we then substitute these values into the equation.
02

Calculate the Density of Oxygen

Substituting the values into the equation, we have: \(\frac{150}{101.325} = \frac{\rho1}{1.2754}\). Solving for \(\rho1\), we get \(\rho1 = \frac{150}{101.325} * 1.2754 = \approx1.889 \frac{kg}{m^3}\). So, the density of oxygen under these pressure conditions is approximately \(1.889 \frac{kg}{m^3}\).
03

Calculate Dynamic Viscosity

The given kinematic viscosity is 0.104 stokes, which needs to be converted to \(\frac{m^{2}}{s}\). As \(1 \, stokes = 10^{-4} \, \frac{m^{2}}{s}\), the velocity in SI units is \(0.104 * 10^{-4} \, \frac{m^{2}}{s}\). Kinematic viscosity \(\nu\) is the ratio of dynamic viscosity \(\mu\) to the fluid's density \(\rho\). Therefore, solving for dynamic viscosity in the equation \(\nu = \frac{\mu}{\rho}\), we get \(\mu = \nu * \rho\). Substituting the values, we find: \(\mu = 0.104 * 10^{-4} \, \frac{m^{2}}{s} * 1.889 \, \frac{kg}{m^{3}} = \approx1.965 * 10^{-5} \, \frac{kg}{m*s}\)

The force, \(F\), of the wind blowing against a building is given by \(F=C_{D} \rho V^{2} A / 2,\) where \(V\) is the wind speed, \(\rho\) the density of the air, \(A\) the cross-sectional area cf the building, and \(C_{D}\) is a constant termed the drag coefficient. Determine the dimensions of the drag coefficient.

With the exception of the 410 bore, the gauge of a shotgun barrel indicates the number of round lead balls, each having the bore diameter of the barrel, that together weigh 1 Ib. For example, a shotgun is called a 12 -gauge shotgun if a \(\frac{1}{12}-1 b\) lead ball fits the bore of the barrel. Find the diameter of a 12 -gauge shotgun in inches and millimeters. Lead has a specific weight of \(0.411 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{3}\).

Determine the apparent viscosity of the blood and compare it with the viscosity of water at the same temperature.

A closed tank having a volume of \(2 \mathrm{ft}^{3}\) is filled with \(0.30 \mathrm{lb}\) of a gas.
