Properties Related to Mass and Weight

2.6 Determine the density and specific weight of methane gas at a pressure of 300 kN/m 3 absolute
and 60°C.
2.8 At a temperature of 100°C and an absolute pressure of 5 atmospheres, what is the ratio of the
density of water to the density of air, ρw / ρa ?
2.9 Find the total weight of a 10 ft3 tank of oxygen if the oxygen is pressurized to 500 psia, the tank
itself weighs 150 lbf, and the temperature is 70°F?
2.10 A 10 m3 oxygen tank is at 15°C and 800 kPa. The valve is opened, and some oxygen is released
until the pressure in the tank drops to 600 kPa. Calculate the mass of oxygen that has been released
from the tank if the temperature in the tank does not change during the process.
2.11 What are the specific weight and density of air at an absolute pressure of 600 kPa and a

Viscosity
2.18 What is the change in the viscosity and density of water between 10°C and 70°C? What is the
change in the viscosity and density of air between 10°C and 70°C? Assume standard atmospheric
pressure (p = 101 kN m2 absolute).
2.20 Find the dynamic and kinematic viscosities of kerosene, SAE 10W-30 motor oil, and water at a
temperature of 38°C (100°F).
2.33 The sliding plate viscometer shown below is used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. The top
plate is moving to the right with a constant velocity of 10 m s in response to a force of 3 N. The
bottom plate is stationary. What is the viscosity of the fluid? Assume a linear velocity distribution.
2.34 The velocity distribution for water (20°C) near a wall is given by u = a(y b)1/6, where a = 10 m/s,
b= 2 mm, and y is the distance from the wall in mm. Determine the shear stress in the water at y =1
mm.

2.37 Suppose that glycerin is flowing (T = 20°C) and that the pressure gradient dp ⁄ dx is -1.6 kN /m 3 .

space B between the walls is 5.0 cm? What are the shear stress and velocity at the wall? The velocity
distribution for viscous flow between stationary plates is
