Answer:

a) Number of atoms per unit cell for Ga = 4 atoms per unit cell

Number of atoms per unit cell for As = 4 atoms per unit cell

b) Volume density of Germanium in its unit cell = 4.35 × 10²² /cm³

Explanation:

GaAs has a number density of 4.42 x 10²² atoms/cm³ from literature.

Since GaAs is known to contain almost equal amounts of Ga and As.

Number density of Ga = Number density of As = 2.21 × 10²² atoms/cm³

Number density = Number of atoms in a unit cell/volume of the unit cell

Number of atoms in the unit cell = ?

Volume of the unit cell = (lattice parameter)³ = (5.65 × 10⁻⁸)³ = 1.804 × 10⁻²² cm³

Number of atoms per unit cell for Ga and As = number density × volume of unit cell = 2.21 × 10²² × 1.804 × 10⁻²² = 4 atoms/unit cell

b) Volume density = Number of atoms per unit cell/volume of unit cell

Germanium has 8 atoms per unit cell (from literature),

Volume of unit cell = (lattice parameter)³ = (5.65 × 10⁻⁸)³ = 1.804 × 10⁻²² cm³

Volume density = 8/(1.804 × 10⁻²²) = 4.35 × 10²² /cm³

Hope this helps!

Answer:

laminar flow

Explanation:

In fluid dynamics, laminar flow is characterized by fluid particles following smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with little or no mixing.

Technician A states that a brake lathe is used to make a used brake rotor surface "like new". Technician B states that a brake l
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Both Technician A and B are correct.

Explanation: A brake lathe is a special tool used to improve or work on the surface of brake pads it helps to smoothen the surface.

Brake lathe has been found to be very effective in removing rusts in rotors and unevenness in the brake pad surfaces in order to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the brake system of a vehicle. Hence, a brake lathe helps to make brake rotor surface as smooth as possible.

Assuming the transition to turbulence for flow over a flat plate happens at a Reynolds number of 5x105, determine the following
torisob [31]

Given:

Assuming the transition to turbulence for flow over a flat plate happens at a Reynolds number of 5x105, determine the following for air at 300 K and engine oil at 380 K. Assume the free stream velocity is 3 m/s.

To Find:

a. The distance from the leading edge at which the transition will occur.

b. Expressions for the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses as a function of x for a laminar boundary layer

c. Which fluid has a higher heat transfer

Calculation:

The transition from the lamina to turbulent begins when the critical Reynolds

number reaches 5\times 10^5

(a).  \;\text{Rex}_{cr}=5 \times 10^5\\\\\frac{\rho\;vx}{\mu}=5 \times 10^5\\\text{density of of air at}\;300K=1.16  \frac{kg}{m\cdot s}\\\text{viscosity of of air at}\;300K=1.846 \times 10^{-5} \frac{kg}{m\cdot s} \\v=3m/s\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{5\times 10^5 \times 1.846 \times 10^{-5} }{1.16 \times 3} =2.652 \;m \;\text{for air}\\(\text{similarly for engine oil at 380 K for given}\; \rho \;\text{and} \;\mu)\\

(b).\; \text{For the lamina boundary layer momentum boundary layer thickness is given by}:\\\frac{\delta}{x} =\frac{5}{\sqrt{R_e}}\;\;\;\;\quad\text{for}\; R_e(c). \frac{\delta}{\delta_t}={P_r}^{\frac{r}{3}}\\\text{For air} \;P_r \;\text{equivalent 1 hence both momentum and heat dissipate with the same rate for oil}\; \\P_r >>1 \text{heat diffuse very slowly}\\\text{So heat transfer rate will be high for air.}\\\text{Convective heat transfer coefficient will be high for engine oil.}
