Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.32P
A weir is an obstruction in a channel flow that can be calibrated to measure the flow rate, as in Fig. P5.32. The volume flow Q varies with gravity g, weir width b into the paper, and upstream water height H above the weir crest. If it is known that Q is proportional to b, use the pi theorem to find a unique functional relationship Q(g, b, H).

P5.37
The volume flow Q through an orifice plate is a function of pipe diameter D, pressure
drop Ap across the orifice, fluid density p and viscosity u, and orifice diameter d. Using D, p,
and Ap as repeating variables, express this relationship in dimensionless form.
A graduated cylinder full of water in the lab on a bench that has just been waxed. The cylinder is 1 cm^2 in the inner cross-sectional area, and the water is 10 cm high. The temperature is at room temperature (25 °C) and remains constant. Water-air interface energy (i.e., water surface tension) is approximately 0.072 N/m at 25 °C. All the water spills and forms a puddle that can be approximated as a thin disk.
(a) If this disk’s diameter is 14 cm, calculate the work required to create just the air-water interface.
(b) Calculate the change in the gravitational potential energy of the water puddle in (b) (g = 9.8 m/s2
5.28 A simply supported beam of diameter D, length L, and modulus of elasticity E is subjected to
a fluid crossflow of velocity V, density e, and viscosity u. Its center deflection d is assumed to be a
function of all these variables. (a) Rewrite this proposed function in dimensionless form. (b) Suppose
it is known that ô is independent of u, inversely proportional to E, and dependent only upon pl, notp
and V separately. Simplify the dimensionless function accordingly.

The volume of liquid it can hold can be computed as [3R – h] V = Th 3 where V = volume (m3), h = depth of water in tank (m), and R = the tank radius (m). If R = 3 m, what depth must the tank be filled to so that it holds 30 m3? Use three iterations of the Newton- Raphson method to determine your answer.
