Air at 70°f flows parallel to a smooth, thin, flat plate at 16.5 ft/s. the plate is 10.6 ft long. determine whether the boundary layer on the plate is most likely laminar, turbulent, or somewhere in between (transitional). calculate the boundary layer thickness at the end of the plate where the boundary layer is laminar everywhere and where the boundary layer is turbulent everywhere (obtained from the one-seventh-power law). the kinematic viscosity of air at 70ºf is ν

Acompressor compresses a gas, a pump compresses a liquid. for a given pressure ratio, why does it take more work to compress a gas in a compressor than a liquid in a pump? a)- for a given pressure ratio the average specific volume for a gas is much higher than the average specific volume for a liquid. b)- there is no difference. the only difference is the amount of heat generated (not work) c)- for a given pressure ratio the average volurge for a gas is much higher than the average volume for a liquid. d)-there is no difference
