• Primary quantities
– Length (L), Mass (M), and Time (T) and also
temperature θ.
• µ - dynamic viscosity
•
• Shear stress = force/area
• For M a+b=0
• For L -a-3b+c+d+e=3
• For T -a-2e =-1
b=-a
- 2e = - 1 + a
e = (- 1 + a)/(-2) = (a-1)/(-2) = (1-a)/2
b= 5/2 – (3/2)a - d
• = C[ D2H1/2ɡ1/2)]

• T = ƒ (ρ, D, N, V)
• T = C (ρa Db Nc Vd]
• 4 unknown in 3 equations
• -3(1) + b + 2d = 2
• b + 2d = 2 + 3 = 5
• - c – d = -2 => c + d = 2

.
• .. a=1
• b = 5 – 2d and c=2–d
• T = C [ρ1 D5 – 2d N2 - d Vd]
• = C [(ρD5N2)(1/ND2)d (V)d]

• T = C [(ρN2D5) ƒ(V/ND2)]
• [1/T] is speed N
• P= ρN3D5 ƒ(V/ND2)
• C – dimensionless constant
STEP 1
• The physical quantities involved in the phenomenon
are Q d H ɡ µ ρ
• Usually
– a characteristic linear dimension
– a characteristic velocity
– a characteristic fluid property
are chosen as repeating variables
