Answer:
I am writing a Python function unique()
def unique(list): # function unique that takes a list as parameter
unique_list = [] #list to store unique elements
for elements in list: # loop that checks every element of the list
if elements not in unique_list: # takes unique elements from list
unique_list.append(elements)
#appends unique elements from list to unique_list
return unique_list #outputs unique_list elements
Explanation:
The unique() function takes a list as argument which is named as list.
unique_list is a new list which stores unique element from the list.
The loop moves through the elements of the list one by one.
if condition checks if the element in list is not present in the unique_list which means that element is unique to the unique_list.
If this condition is true this means that the element is not repeated and is not already present in unique_list. Then that element is included to the unique_list using append() function which appends an element into the unique_list from the list.
If you want to check if this function works you pass a list with repeated elements to this function so that it can print the unique elements as follows:
print(unique([1,2,2,2,2,3,4,4,4,4,4,5]))
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The screen shot of the function along with its output is attached.
a) For the thermal efficiency we have
With the previously values we know that
and
(convert the min to sec)
Replacing the values
b) We use the formula of carnot efficiency
**Note that apply the formula of carnot cycle we need to consider that there is no exchange of heat, there is no friction and the reservior are completely insulated
Answer:
Kindly check Explanation section.
Explanation:
NB: please check the attachment for the solution to: the boundary layer thickness, the displacement thickness, the momentum thickness the wall shear stress, the friction coefficient, and the drag coefficient for a flat plate with zero pressure gradient in a laminar flow.
===============================
So,for the solution the second part of the question that asked us to state;
What happens if we add a constant positive pressure gradient?
SOLUTION: Whenever we have dp/dx > 0 that is a positive pressure gradient then, we are going to have what is known as a divergent flow which makes pressure to increase in the direction of flow. The pressure will be minimum around the centre. Also, as the velocity decreases(velocity gradient becomes negative), the area of flow increases.
