Answer:

The answer to the range of a cooling tower is the difference between the temperature of the water going in and the temperature of the water going out of the tower.

Explanation:

Cooling towers are used to cool a stream of water using the air of the environment where it's placed or installed. In theory, the lowest temperature the water can be cooled to would be the wet bulb temperature (temperature of the air going in the cooling tower). The range would be the difference (R=Ti-To) between the temperature of the hot water going in and the cooler water going out.

Answer:

The answer is "Option a".

Explanation:

Myelination was the myelinization mechanism of a neuron axon. The endothelium is enveloped all around the axon and isolates the axon that inhibits the neuronal message from leaking with the other neuronal axons. Inside this example, therefore, its tubes tape worked similarly to those of myelin sheath, which stops brain transmission.

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 $5\times 10^5$

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

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