Answer:

Reynolds number determines whether a flow is laminar or turbulent flow.

Explanation:

Reynolds number is defined as ratio of inertia force to the viscous force. it is a dimension less  number. Reynolds number is used to describe the type of flow in a fluid whether it is laminar flow or turbulent flow. Reynolds number is denoted by Re.

When Reynolds number is in the range of 0 to 2000, the flow is considered to be laminar.

When Reynolds number is in the range of 2000 to 4000, the flow is considered to be transition.

And when Reynolds number is more than 4000, the flow is turbulent flow.

                     The boundary layer thickness for a fluid is given by

                                      δ = \frac{5\times x}{\sqrt{Re}}

where δ is boundary layer thickness

           x is distance from the leading edge

           Re is Reynolds number

Thus from the above boundary layer thickness equation, we can see that the boundary layer thickness varies inversely to square root of reynolds number.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: D

Find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Elastic solid will obey Hooke's law which state that the force applied is proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Examples of Newtonian fluid are water, glycerol, honey and all organic solvents

When comparing solids to fluids, the below statement is true

We can therefore conclude that

For elastic solids, stress is linearly related to strain, and for Newtonian fluids, stress is linearly related to strain rate

A square steel bar has a length of 8.4 ft and a 2.1 in by 2.1 in cross section and is subjected to axial tension. The final leng
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Poissons ratio = -0.3367

Explanation:

Poissons ratio = Lateral Strain / Longitudinal Strain

In this case, the longitudinal strain will be:

Strain (longitudinal) = Change in length / total length

Strain (longitudinal) = (8.40392 - 8.4) / 8.4

Strain (longitudinal) = 4.666 * 10^(-4)

While the lateral strain will be:

Strain (Lateral) = Change in length / total length

Strain (Lateral) = (2.09967 - 2.1) / 2.1

Strain (Lateral) = -1.571 * 10^(-4)

Solving the poisson equation at the top we get:

Poissons ratio = -1.571 / 4.666                                     <u>( 10^(-4) cancels out )</u>

Poissons ratio = -0.3367

What is the difference between available and unavailable energy?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The heat absorbed portion that is transformed into work is therefore helpful and accessible for our use, hence it is termed as available energy. But the energy or heat which is of no use is termed as unavailable energy.

Explanation:

A engine requires heat from the reservoir and transforms portion of it into function. The extra heat is expelled (generally atmosphere) to  cold reservoir. The refused heat can't be equal to zero, as per the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The heat absorbed portion that is transformed into work is therefore helpful and accessible for our use, hence it is termed as available energy. But the energy or heat which is of no use is termed as unavailable energy.

(a) Show how two 2-to-1 multiplexers (with no added gates) could be connected to form a 3-to-1 MUX. Input selection should be as
Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Show how two 2-to-1 multiplexers (with no added gates) could be connected to form a 3-to-1 MUX. Input selection should be as follows: If AB = 00, select I0 If AB = 01, select I1 If AB = 1− (B is a don’t-care), select I2

We are to show how Two-2-to -1 multiplexers could be connected to form 3-to-1 MUX

If AB = 00 select I_o

If AB = 01 select I_1

If AB = 1_(B is don't care), select I_2

However, the truth table is attached and shown in the first file below.

Also, the free- body diagram for 2- to - 1 MUX is shown in the second diagram attached below.

b) We are show how  two 4-to-1 and one 2-to-1 multiplexers could be connected to form an 8-to-1 MUX with three control inputs.

The perfect illustration showing how they are connected in displayed in the third free-body diagram attached below.

Where ; I_o , I_1, I_2, I_3, I_4, I_5, I_6, I_7 are the inputs of the multiplexer and Z is the output.

c)  Show how four 2-to-1 and one 4-to-1 multiplexers could be connected to form an 8-to-1 MUX with three control inputs.

For  four 2-to-1 and one 4-to-1 multiplexers could be connected to form an 8-to-1 MUX with three control inputs, we have a perfect illustration of the diagram in the last( which is the fourth) diagram attached below.

Where ; I_o , I_1, I_2, I_3, I_4, I_5, I_6, I_7 are the inputs of the multiplexer and Z is the output
