In a gas-turbine cycle, fuel is combusted with air in a constant-pressure combustion chamber at a pressure of 0.8 MPa. The combustion process can simplified by (1) assuming that it could be represented as a heat-addition process and (2) neglecting the mass flowrate of the fuel (i. e. assuming that only air goes in and out of the combustion chamber).

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.

Apipe with an outside diameter of 15 cm is exposed to an ambient air and surrounding temperature of -20°c. the pipe has an outer surface temperature of 65°c and an emissivity of 0.85. if the rate of heat loss from the pipe surface is 0.95 kw per meter of length, the external convective heat transfer coefficient (h) is: (a) 12.5 w/m"k (b) 18.6 w/mk (c) 23.7 w/mk (d) 27.9 w/mk (e) 33.5 w/mk
