1.) A closed tank B is used to keep an open trough A filled with water (see Figure 1.1).
Determine the pressures at points 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, assuming the water is static.

10.)The bubble drop method was used to measure the interfacial tension between two
immiscible liquids at 15C. The bubble drop method is the same as the drop weight
method, but it involves two liquids instead of one liquid in air.
Each drop of the denser liquid was formed very slowly from a 2 mm outside diameter
capillary tube. The diameter of each drop was measured immediately after it broke
from the tube (see table). Densities of the two liquids were 989 kg/m3 and 839 kg/m3.
Determine the interfacial tension between the liquids.

11.) One method to remove material from a gas stream is by contacting the gas stream
with a liquid which tends to absorb the material. Air is passed up through a column
counter-current with a water stream. At the columns base, air first passes through a
distributor, a perforated plate with 3 mm diameter holes, producing a stream of air
bubbles. Assuming the plate is water wet and that gas momentum is negligible,
estimate the diameter of air bubbles at the base of the column.
Take the surface tension of water to be 0.071 N/m.
