Answer:

D. is greater for turbulent flow than for laminar flow

Explanation:

what is friction drag?

  • friction drag is a phenomenon experienced when a body moves through a fluid. A practical example can be seen in the mild warmth we experience rubbing the palm's of one's hand together only in this case we are dealing with a solid body and a fluid (e.g air, water). friction drag is directly proportional to the area of the surface in contact with the fluid and increases as velocity increases. We see a practical example of this when the rate at which one rubs the palms together is fast but we use the word turbulent when we are dealing with fluids. Turbulent flow creates more friction drag than laminar flow( Flow between a smooth body and fluid) due to its greater interaction with the surface of the body
  • it is important to know that friction is also called viscous drag or skin drag
  • I recommend Richardson and coulson vol 2 textbook, page 149, Chemical enginering fluid mechanics textbook by Ron dardy, page 341 for clearer explanation

Calculate the amount of air in a room 6m long, 5m wide and 3mm high.​
sattari [20]

Answer:

0.09kg of air

Explanation:

The dimensions of the room are given

change the height to meters by dividing it by thousand.

For the volume multiplying the length,width and height (all should be in the same unit most suitable being meters).

Volume refers to the amount of space inside a box or a object.

The amount of air is equal to the volume.

If someone is driving 100 miles in 60 minutes then drives 150 miles in 100 minutes west, what is his acceleration rate.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the car, x₀ = 100 miles = 160, 900 m ( 1 mile = 1609 m)

time of motion, t₀ = 60 minutes = 60 mins x 60 s = 3,600 s

final position of the car, x₁ = 150 miles = 241,350 m

time of motion, t₁ = 100 minutes = 100 mins x 60 s = 6,000 s

The initial velocity is calculated as;

u = 160, 900 m / 3,600 s

u = 44.694 m/s

The final velocity is calculated as;

v = 241,350 m / 6,000 s

v = 40.225 m/s

The acceleration is calculated as;

a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = \frac{v- u}{t_1 - t_ 0} = \frac{40.225  - 44.694}{6000-3600} = -0.00186 \ m/s^2\\\\

Therefore, his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

TWO QUESTIONS!
solong [7]

The correct answer to the question is : 1) Converting energy and 2) Within about twenty years, natural gas forms.

EXPLANATION:

In coal fired power plants, the water is heated by burning coals. The heat produced in this process will convert water into steam. The steam is allowed to rotate the turbine. The turbine is attached to a generator which converts the kinetic energy of the steam into electric energy due to electromagnetic induction.

Hence, turbine helps in converting energy.

As per the second question, Walt listed the steps that occur during the formation of natural gas.

The natural gas is produced due to natural phenomenon. For this, millions of years are passed. So, it is a long range process in which the fossil of animals and planets buried beneath the surface are converted into natural gas under high pressure.

Hence, the mistake of Walt is  that the natural gas is produced withing twenty years.
