Answer:

• Corona discharge means neutralization of charge action at a sharp point

example; a pear shaped conductor, lightening conductor, van de graaf generator.

Explanation:

• In corona discharge, When a sharp conductor is placed somewhere in open space. The charges of opposite chrage attract the opposite ions in the air around that conductor.

• This increases the charge density and electric field intensity at the sharp point, this neutralises the charge at sharp point hence a discharge known as corona discharge occurs.

A thin-walled tube with a diameter of 6 mm and length of 20 m is used to carry exhaust gas from a smoke stack to the laboratory

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mean temperature is given by

$T_mean = \frac{T_i + T_ \infinity}{2}\\\\T_mean = \frac{200 + 15}{2}$

Tmean = (Ti + T∞)/2

$T_mean = 107.5^{0}$

Tmean = 107.5⁰C

Tmean = 107.5 + 273 = 380.5K

Properties of air at mean temperature

v = 24.2689 × 10⁻⁶m²/s

α = 35.024 × 10⁻⁶m²/s

$\mu$ = 221.6 × 10⁻⁷N.s/m²

$\kappa$ = 0.0323 W/m.K

Cp = 1012 J/kg.K

Pr = v/α = 24.2689 × 10⁻⁶/35.024 × 10⁻⁶

= 0.693

Reynold's number, Re

Pv = 4m/πD²

where Re = (Pv * D)/ $\mu$

Substituting for Pv

Re = 4m/(πD $\mu$ )

= (4 x 0.003)/( π × 6 ×10⁻³ × 221.6 × 10⁻⁷)

= 28728.3

Since Re > 2000, the flow is turbulent

For turbulent flows, Use

Dittus - Doeltr correlation with n = 0.03

Nu = 0.023Re⁰⁸Pr⁰³ = (h₁D)/k

(h₁ × 0.006)/0.0323 = 0.023(28728.3)⁰⁸(0.693)⁰³

(h₁ × 0.006)/0.0323 = 75.962

h₁ = (75.962 × 0.0323)/0.006

h₁ = 408.93 W/m².K

Calculate the electroosmotic velocity of an aqueous solution through a glass capillary 5 cm long with a 0.5 mm internal diameter

natita [175]

Answer:

Electroosmotic velocity will be equal to $1.6\times 10^{-4}m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given applied voltage v = 100 volt

Length of capillary L = 5 mm = 0.005 m

Zeta potential of the capillary surface $\xi =80mV=0.08volt$

Dielectric constant of glass is between 5 to 10 here we are taking dielectric constant as $\epsilon =10$

Viscosity of glass is $\eta =10^8$

Electroosmotic velocity is given as $v_{eo}=\frac{\epsilon \xi }{\eta }\times \frac{v}{L}$

$v_{eo}=\frac{10\times 0.08 }{10^8 }\times \frac{100}{0.005}=1.6\times 10^{-4}m/sec$

So Electroosmotic velocity will be equal to $1.6\times 10^{-4}m/sec$

Which statement explains what causes the balloon to accelerate

victus00 [196]

The air leaving through the balloon's mouth pulls the balloon in the same direction as the exiting air, so the balloon experiences a net force. All air surrounding the balloon pushes the balloon forward.
