Dimensional analysis is to be used to correlate data on bubble size with the properties of the liquid when gas bubbles are formed by a gas issuing from a small orifice below the liquid surface. Assume that the significant variables are bubble diameter D, orifice diameter d, liquid density rho, surface tension sigma (in N/m), liquid viscosity mu, and g. Select d, rho, and g as the core variables.

When a sphere falls freely through a homogeneous fluid, it reaches a terminal velocity at which the weight of the sphere is balanced by the buoyant force and the frictional resistance of the fluid. Make a dimensional analysis of this problem and indicate how experimental data for this problem could be correlated. Neglect compressibility effects and the influence of surface roughness.
At a sudden contraction in a pipe the diameter changes from D, to D2. The pressure drop, Ap, which develops across the con- traction is a function of D, and Dz, as well as the velocity, V, in the larger pipe, and the fluid density, p, and viscosity, u. Use D, V, and u as repeating variables to determine a suitable set of dimensionless parameters. Why would ti be incorrect to include the velocity in the smaller pipe a sa nadditional variable?

Some children are playing with soap bubbles, and you become curious as to the relationship between soap bubble radius and the pressure inside the soap bubble . You reason that the pressure inside the soap bubble must be greater than atmospheric pressure, and that the shell of the soap bubble is under tension, much like the skin of a balloon. You also know that the property surface tension must be important in this problem. Not knowing any other physics, you decide to approach the problem using dimensional analysis. Establish a relationship between pressure difference ΔP = Pinside − Poutside, soap bubble radius R, and the surface tension ?s of the soap film.

A tiny aerosol particle of density pp and characteristic diameter Dp falls in air of density p and viscosity u . If the particle is small enough, the creeping flow approximation is valid, and the terminal settling speed of the particle V depends only on Dp, µ, gravitational constant g, and the density difference (pp - p). Use dimensional analysis to generate a relationship for Vas a function of the independent variables. Name any established dimensionless parameters that appear in your analysis.
