Consider the incompressible viscous flow of air between two infinitely long parallel plates separated by a distance h. Both plates are stationary, but a constant pressure gradient exists in the flow direction (i. e. dp / dx= constant ).a. Obtain an expression for the variation of velocity between the plates. b. Obtain an expression for the shear stress on the plates in term of dp / dx.

Afluid flows with a velocity field given by v=(x/t)i.. determine the local and convective accelerations when x=3 and t=1.

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater

Hydraulic fluid with a sg. of 0.78 is flowing through a 1.5 in. i. d. pipe at 58 gal/min. the fluid has an absolute viscosity of 11.8 x 105 lbf-sec/ft2. is the flow laminar, turbulent or within the critical range? give both a numerical reynolds number and a term answer.
