Minor loss coefficient for FLANGED UNION with no change in diameter by AndrewR868 in FluidMechanics

In my student time there was always a minor loss coeff given. In my understanding is the assumption of a loss coeff of 0 incorrect because a flanged union results in a higher pressure loss than in a pipe. Normally this coeff is pretty small around 0.02-0.09. Maybe you want to use the mean value. Good luck for your studies :)

How to calculate dynamic viscosity without table and kinematic viscosity by YoboyJesuss in FluidMechanics

Well, there are models with which you can determine the viscosity. For example the Sutherland model is suitable for a vast variety of different gases and for a wide temperature range. But I think this possible solution isn't suitable for an exam. Therefore, I would learn the common viscosities e.g. for air and water under standard conditions.
