Submission due: 19 Feb 2016

Estimate the viscosity of oxygen gas at 40oC and 10 atm. using the corresponding
state correlation.

2.

The composition of a mixture of gases is given in TABLE 1. Estimate the viscosity

of the mixture at 80oC and 60 atm.

Derive a simplified form the Newtons law of viscosity for a Newtonian fluid for the
shear and normal stresses in rectangular coordinate system.

4.

Derive the units of momentum, rate of momentum and momentum flux.

5.

A Newtonian fluid is flowing at a velocity vz= f(x) where vx = vy = 0. Derive simplified

equations for all the components of the combined momentum fluxes xx, xy in
terms of velocity, velocity gradient, pressure and viscosity.
