Design Report - Fluid Properties Experiments
Report Assignment: Understanding basic fluid properties is a foundational component of understanding fluid mechanics. Several principles that are common in fluid mechanics principles are listed below:I will do only this one:
• Viscosity (Silly Putty), Note: use low and high velocities
For this design problem you must determine an experimental method to determine the fluid properties for the fluids above using the materials listed below:
|
Items to use:
• 5 Gallon Bucket
• 1/8" diameter clear flexible tube (10 ft. long)
• 5 lb weight
• 2 x 4 (8 ft. long)
|
• Steel cube (6" sides)
• Steel sphere (1" diameter)
• Scale (20 lb max)
• Balloon (unused)
• Spring Scale (10 lb. max)
|
• Cylindrical Glass Jar (4" diameter x 10" tall)
• Unlimited supply of water
• 2 item of your choosing.
|

For each experimental method the following must be documented:
Overview: Describe the method
Diagram: Clearly present how the items will be used
Measured Variables: Document all variables and how they will be measured
Final Equation: Create an equation from the variables to describe the fluid property.
