Solution:

Calculate the capillary effect in millimetres in a glass tube of 4 mm diameter, when immersed in mercury. The temperature of the liquid is 20°C and the value of surface tension of mercury at 20°C in contact with air is 0.51 N/m. Take the contact angle as 130° and the specific weight as 133 kN/m³.

Solution:

Consider a pipe with a diameter of 20 mm and water flowing inside it at a constant velocity of 1 m/s at the entrance. You are tasked with a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis to determine the minimum necessary length of the pipe for accurate results with minimum computational power. Given the coefficient of viscosity as 1E-2 and the density of water as 1000 kg/m³, what is the minimum necessary length of the pipe (in mm) to complete the task?
