Sheet (2)

The document is a Fluid Mechanics worksheet for 2nd-year engineering students at Alexandria University, focusing on properties of fluids. It includes various problems related to bulk modulus of elasticity, pressure-volume relationships, and specific weights of liquids under different conditions. The problems require calculations involving compressibility and changes in volume due to pressure variations.

Sheet (2) – Properties of Fluids

1. A liquid compressed in a cylinder has a volume of 1000 cm3 at 1 MN/m2


and a volume of 995 cm3 at 2 MN/m2 .What is its bulk modulus of
elasticity (K)?

2. If K = 2.2 GPa is the bulk modulus of elasticity for water, what pressure is
required to reduce a volume by 0.6 percent?

3. A rigid steel container is partially filled with a liquid at 15 atm. The volume
of the liquid is 123200 L. At a pressure of 30 atm, the volume of the liquid
is 123100 L. Find the average bulk modulus of elasticity of the liquid over
the given range of pressure if the temperature after compression is allowed
to return to its initial value. What is the coefficient of isothermal
compressibility ()?

4. A heavy tank contains oil (A) and water (B) subject to variable air pressure;
the dimensions shown in the figure below correspond to 1 atm. If air is
slowly added from a pump to bring pressure p up to 1 MPa gage, what will
be the total downward movement of the free surface of oil and air? Take
average values of bulk moduli of elasticity of the liquids as 2050 MPa for
oil and 2075 MPa for water. Assume the container does not change volume.
Neglect hydrostatic pressures.

5. Water in a hydraulic press, initially at 20 psia, is subjected to a pressure of
17 000 psia at 68 °F. Determine the percentage decrease in specific volume
if the average bulk modulus of elasticity is 365 000 psi.

6. At a depth of 7 km in the ocean, the pressure is 71.6 MPa. Assume a


specific weight at the surface of 10.05 kN/m3 and an average bulk modulus
of elasticity of 2.34 GPa for that pressure range. Find (a) the change in
specific volume between the surface and 7 km; (b) the specific volume at 7
km; (c) the specific weight at 7 km.

7. One kilogram of hydrogen is confined in a volume of 200 L at -45 °C. What


is the pressure if R is 4.115 kJ/kg .K?

8. The tank of a leaky air compressor originally holds 90 L of air at 33 °C and


225 kPa. During a compression process, 4 grams of air is lost; the remaining
air occupies 42 L at 550 kPa. What is the temperature of the remaining air?

9. In a piston-and-cylinder apparatus the initial volume of air is 90 L at a


pressure of 130 kPa and temperature of 26 °C. If the pressure is doubled
while the volume is decreased to 56 L, compute the final temperature and
density of the air.

10.If a gas occupies 1 m3 at 1 atm pressure, what pressure is required to reduce


the volume of the gas by 2 percent under isothermal conditions if the fluid is
(a) air, (b) argon, and (c) hydrogen?

Good Luck
