Determine the ratio of the dynamic viscosity of water to air at a temperature of $60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Compare this value with the corresponding ratio of kinematic viscosities. Assume the air is at standard atmospheric pressure.

Step 1
Given: Dynamic viscosity of water = $0.467 \times 10^{-3}$ Ns/m² Dynamic viscosity of air = $2.05 \times 10^{-5}$ Ns/m² Ratio = $\frac{0.467 \times 10^{-3}}{2.05 \times 10^{-5}} = 22.78$ Show more…

What is the ratio of the dynamic viscosity of air to that of water at standard pressure and temperature of 20°C? What is the ratio of the kinematic viscosity of air to that of water for the same conditions?

(a) Using Bernoulli's equation, show that the measured fluid speed $v$ for a pitot tube, like the one in Figure 12.7$(\mathrm{b})$ is given by $v=\left(\frac{2 \rho^{\prime} g h}{\rho}\right)^{1 / 2}$ where $h$ is the height of the manometer fluid, $\rho^{\prime}$ is the density of the manometer fluid, $\rho$ is the density of the moving fluid, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. (Note that $v$ is indeed proportional to the square root of $h,$ as stated in the text.) (b) Calculate $v$ for moving air if a mercury manometer's $h$ is 0.200 $\mathrm{m} .$
