The Reynolds number is a dimensionless group defined for a fluid flowing in a pipe as Re Durho/μ whereD is pipe diameter, u is f

luid velocity, rho is fluid density, and μ is fluid viscosity.When the value of the Reynolds number is less than about 2100, the flow is laminar—that is, the fluid flows in smooth streamlines. For Reynolds numbers above 2100, the flow is turbulent, characterized by a great deal of agitation. Liquid methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) flows through a pipe with an inner diameter of 2.067 inches at an average velocity of 0.48 ft/s. At the fluid temperature of 20°C the density of liquid MEK is 0.805 g/cm3 and the viscosity is 0.43 centipoise [1 cP 1:00 103 kg/ m s]. Without using a calculator, determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. Show your calculations.

Answer:

the flow is turbulent

Explanation:

The Reynolds number is given by

Re=ρVD/μ

where

V=fluid speed=0.48ft/s=0.146m/s

D=diameter=2.067in=0.0525m

ρ=density=0.805g/cm^3=805Kg/m^3

μ=0.43Cp=4.3x10^-4Pas

Re=(805)(0.146)(0.0525)/4.3x10^-4=14349.59

Re>2100  the flow is turbulent

Note: if you do not want to use a calculator you can use the graphs to calculate the Reynolds number according to their properties

Draw the Pressure - Temperature Diagram showing the liquid and vapor phases, along with the saturation line and the critical poi
yarga [219]

Answer:

Pressure- temperature diagram of the fluid is the phase lines that separate all the phases.

Explanation:

Step1

Pressure temperature diagram is the diagram that represents the all the phases of the fluid by separating a line. There is no phase change region in the pressure temperature diagram out of 15 possible diagrams. There are three lines that separate the phase of the fluid. These three lines are fusion, vaporization and sublimation.

Step2

The intersecting point of these lines is triple point of fluid. Out of 15 possible phase diagram, only pressure temperature diagram has triple point as a point. In other diagrams phase change region is present and triple point is not a point. Critical point is the point in all possible property diagrams.

Pressure temperature diagram is shown below:

Answer:

(a) the maximum and minimum temperatures for the cycle in K;

Maximum temprature = T1 = 600.05K

Minimum temprature = 300.03K

(b) the pressure and volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion in bar and m3 respectively;

Pressure (P4) = 0.67842 bar

Volume (V4) = 1.2693m^{3}

(c) the work and heat transfer for each of the four processes in kJ.
