Identify a true statement about flow separation. multiple choice a. flow separation is caused due to high temperature gradient in the flowing fluid. b. flow separation is caused due to viscosity difference in the flowing fluid. c. flow separation is caused due to density difference in the flowing fluid. d. flow separation is caused due to adverse pressure gradient in the flowing fluid.

D. Flow separation is caused due to adverse pressure gradient in the flowing fluid.

Explanation:

Flow separation  :    

  When adverse pressure gradient become dominate then phenomenon of flow separation occurs.In the other words when boundary layer is form against the adverse pressure then  phenomenon of flow separation occurs.The adverse pressure means a opposing which act in the opposite to the direction of fluid flow.Due to flow separation eddy formation occurs and these eddy leads to increases the losses in the fluid flow.Due to flow separation fluid leaves the solid surface and form eddies.

So the answer is D.              

nah.   i'm just sleepy.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
