A capillary viscometer measures the time required for a specified volume υ of liquid to flow through a small-bore glasstube, as in Fig. . This transit time is then correlated withfluid viscosity. For the system shown, (a) derive an approximateformula for the time required, assuming laminar flowwith no entrance and exit losses. (b) If L = 12 cm, l = 2 cm,υ = 8 cm3, and the fluid is water at 20 °C, what capillary diameterD will result in a transit time t of 6 seconds?
