1. Define <em>Viscosity</em>

In physics, <em>Viscosity</em> refers to the level of resistance of a fluid to flow due to internal friction, in other words, viscosity is the result of the magnitude of internal friction in a fluid, as measured by the force per unit area resisting uniform flow. For example, the honey is a fluid with high viscosity while the water has low viscosity.

What are the main differences between viscous and inviscid flows?

Viscous flows are flows that has a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid, contain and conduct heat, does not have a rest frame mass density and whose motion at a fixed point always remains constant. Inviscid flows, on the other hand, are flows characterized for having zero viscosity (it does not have a thick, sticky consistency), for not containing or conducting heat, for the lack of steady flow and for having a rest frame mass density

Furthermore, viscous flows are much more common than inviscid flows, while this latter is often considered an idealized model since helium is the only fluid that can become inviscid.

Explanation:

From the attached thermal circuit diagram, equation for i-nodes will be

$\frac {T_ \infty, i-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cv, i}} + \frac {T_{o}-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + q_{rad} = 0$ Equation 1

Similarly, the equation for outer node “o” will be

$\frac {T_{ i}-T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + \frac {T_{\infty, o} -T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cv, o}} = 0$ Equation 2

The conventive thermal resistance in i-node will be

$R^{"}_{cv, i}= \frac {1}{h_{i}}= \frac {1}{30}= 0.033 m^{2}K/w$ Equation 3

The conventive hermal resistance per unit area is

$R^{"}_{cv, o}= \frac {1}{h_{o}}= \frac {1}{10}= 0.100 m^{2}K/w$ Equation 4

The conductive thermal resistance per unit area is

$R^{"}_{cd}= \frac {L}{K}= \frac {L}{0.05} m^{2}K/w$ Equation 5

Since $q_{rad}$ is given as 100, $T_{o}$ is 40 $T_ \infty$ is 300 $T_{\infty, o}$ is 25

Substituting the values in equations 3,4 and 5 into equations 1 and 2 we obtain

$\frac {300-T_{i}}{0.033} +\frac {40-T_{i}}{L/0.05} +100=0$ Equation 6

$\frac {T_{ i}-40}{L/0.05}+ \frac {25-40}{0.100}=0$

$T_{i}-40= \frac {L}{0.05}*150$

$T_{i}-40=3000L$

$T_{i}=3000L+40$ Equation 7

From equation 6 we can substitute wherever there’s $T_{i}$ with 3000L+40 as seen in equation 7 hence we obtain

$\frac {300- (3000L+40)}{0.033} + \frac {40- (3000L+40)}{L/0.05}+100=0$

The above can be simplified to be

$\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}+ \frac {(-3000L)}{L/0.05}+100=0$

$\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}=50$

-3000L=1.665-260

$L= \frac {-258.33}{-3000}=0.086*10^{-3}m= 86mm$

Therefore, insulation thickness is 86mm

Steam enters an adiabatic condenser (heat exchanger) at a mass flow rate of 5.55 kg/s where it condensed to saturated liquid wat

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The minimum mass flow rate will be "330 kg/s".

Explanation:

Given:

For steam,

$m_{s}=5.55 \ kg/s$

$\Delta h=2491 \ kg/kj$

For water,

$\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$

$(Cp)_{w}=4.184 \ kJ/kg^{\circ}C$

They add energy efficiency as condenser becomes adiabatic, with total mass flow rate of minimal vapor,

⇒ $m_{s}\times (\Delta h)=M_{w}\times(Cp)_{w}\times \Delta T$

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $5.55\times 2491=M_{w}\times 4.184\times 10\\$

⇒ $13825.05=M_{w}\times 41.84$

⇒ $M_{w}=330 \ kg/s$

Which of the following can effect LRO?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

The lunar radiation environment, allowing scientists to determine potential impacts to astronauts and other life. It also will test models on the effects of radiation and measure radiation absorption by a type of plastic that is like human tissue. The results could aid in the development of protective technologies to help keep future lunar crew members safe. CRaTER was built and developed by Boston University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.
