For a fluid with a Prandtl Number of 1000.0, the hydrodynamic layer is thinner than the thermal boundary layers. a) True b) Fals
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(b)False

Explanation:

Given:

 Prandtl number(Pr) =1000.

We know that   Pr=\dfrac{\nu }{\alpha }

  Where \nu is the molecular diffusivity of momentum

             \alpha is the molecular diffusivity of heat.

 Prandtl number(Pr) can also be defined as

    Pr=\left (\dfrac{\delta }{\delta _t}\right )^3

Where \delta is the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness and \delta_t is the thermal boundary layer thickness.

So if Pr>1 then hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

In given question Pr>1 so  hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness will be greater than thermal boundary layer thickness.

So hydrodynamic layer will be thicker than the thermal boundary layer.

: A freeway exit ramp has a single lane and consist of entirely of a horizontal curve with a central angle of 90 degree and a le
Mariana [72]

The design speed was used for the freeway exit ramp is 11 mph.

<h3>Design speed used in the exit ramp</h3>

The design speed used in the exit ramp is calculated as follows;

f = v²/15R - 0.01e

where;

  • v is designated speed

v = ωr

v = (θ/t) r

θ = 90⁰ = 1.57 rad

v = (1.57 x 19.4)/2.5 s

v = 12.18 ft/s = 8.3 mph

<h3>Design speed</h3>

f = v²/15R - 0.01e

let the maximum superelevation, e = 1%

f = (8.3)²/(15 x 19.4) - 0.01

f = 0.22

0.22 is less than value of f which is 0.4

<h3>next iteration, try 10 mph</h3>

f = (10)²/(15 x 19.4) - 0.01

f = 0.33

0.33 is less than 0.4

<h3>next iteration, try 11 mph</h3>

f = (11)²/(15 x 19.4) - 0.01

f = 0.4

Thus, the design speed was used for the freeway exit ramp is 11 mph.

The absolute pressure in water at a depth of 9 m is read to be 185 kPa. Determine: a. The local atmospheric pressure b. The abso
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a)Patm=135.95Kpa

b)Pabs=175.91Kpa

Explanation:

the absolute pressure is the sum of the water pressure plus the atmospheric pressure, which means that for point a we have the following equation

Pabs=Pw+Patm(1)

Where

Pabs=absolute pressure

Pw=Water pressure

Patm= atmospheric pressure

Water pressure is calculated with the following equation

Pw=γ.h(2)

where

γ=especific weight of water=9.81KN/M^3

H=depht

A)

Solving using ecuations 1 y 2

Patm=Pabs-Pw

Patm=185-9.81*5=135.95Kpa

B)

Solving using ecuations 1 y 2, and atmospheric pressure

Pabs=0.8x5x9.81+135.95=175.91Kpa

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Heat losses by convection, Qconv = 90W

Heat losses by radiation, Qrad = 5.814W

Explanation:

Heat transfer is defined as the transfer of heat from the heat surface to the object that needs to be heated. There are three types which are:

1. Radiation

2. Conduction

3. Convection

Convection is defined as the transfer of heat through the actual movement of the molecules.

Qconv = hA(Temp.final - Temp.surr)

Where h = 6.4KW/m2K

A, area of a square = L2

= (0.25)2

= 0.0625m2

Temp.final = 250°C

Temp.surr = 25°C

Q = 64 * 0.0625 * (250 - 25)

= 90W

Radiation is a heat transfer method that does not rely upon the contact between the initial heat source and the object to be heated, it can be called thermal radiation.

Qrad = E*S*(Temp.final4 - Temp.surr4)

Where E = emissivity of the surface

S = boltzmann constant

= 5.6703 x 10-8 W/m2K4

Qrad = 5.6703 x 10-8 * 0.42 * 0.0625 * ((250)4 - (25)4)

= 5.814 W
