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

A _____ satellite system employs many satellites that are spaced so that, from any point on the Earth at any time, at least one
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

d. low earth orbit (LEO)

Explanation:

This type of satellites form a constellation deployed as a series of “necklaces” in such a way that at any time, at least one satellite is visible by a receiver antenna, compensating the movement due to the earth rotation.

Opposite to that, a geostationary satellite is at an altitude that makes it  like a fixed point over the Earth´s equator, rotating synchronously with the Earth, so it is always visible in a given area.

Which of the following best distinguishes between superficial design improvements and functional
Contact [7]

Answer:

Superficial design improvements are typically only trivial changes to a design, while functional design improvements can change the way a product or process is used to significantly enhance performance.

Explanation:

As a PC board designer, I would sometimes spend a certain amount of time making traces have shorter routes, or fewer layer changes or bends. (I wanted to make the layout "pretty.") In some cases, these changes are superficial, affecting the appearance only. In some cases, they are functional, reducing crosstalk or emissions or susceptibility to interference.

I deal with a web site that seems to be changing all the time (Brainly). In many cases, the same information is rearranged on the page—a superficial change. In other cases, the information being displayed changes, or the way that certain information is accessed changes. These are functional changes. (Sometimes, they "enhance performance," and sometimes they don't, IMO.)

In short ...

<em>Superficial design improvements are typically only trivial changes to a design, while functional design improvements can change the way a product or process is used to significantly enhance performance.</em>

How do you use the brakes in an airplane?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

When a pilot pushes the top of the right pedal, it activates the brakes on the right main wheel/wheels, and when the pilot pushes the top of the left rudder pedal, it activates the brake on the left main wheel/wheels. The brakes work in a rather simple way: they convert the kinetic energy of motion into heat energy.
