A liquid thermometer can be used to test for fevers. When body temperature increases, the liquid inside the thermometer expands and rises to show a higher
temperature reading. Which of the following explanations best describes the changes in thermal energy of the
particles during this specific example of heat transfer?
A. The tip of the thermometer is heated by radiation from the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by convection through the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to slow
down, rise, and expand.
B. The tip of the thermometer is heated by conduction from the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by convection through the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to slow
down, rise, and expand.
© C. The tip of the thermometer is heated by convection with the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by conduction with the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then conduct heat causing the warmer particles to speed up,
rise, and expand
© D The tip of the thermometer is heated by conduction with the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by conduction with the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to speed up,
rise, and expand

Two horizontal plates with infinite length and width are separated by a distance h in the z direction. the bottom plate is moving at a velocity u. the incompressible fluid trapped between the plates is moving in the positive x-direction with the bottom plate. align gravity with positive z. assume that the flow is fully-developed and laminar. if the systems operates at steady state and the pressure gradient in x-direction can be ignored, do the following: 1. sketch your system 2. identify the coordinate system to be used. 3. show your coordinates and origin point on the sketch. list all your assumptions. 5. apply the continuity equation to your system. nts of navier stokes equations of choice to your system 7. solve the resulting differential equation to obtain the velocity profile within the system make sure to list your boundary conditions. check units of velocity 8. describe the velocity profile you obtain using engineering terminology. sketch that on the same sketch you provided in (1). 9. obtain the equation that describes the volumetric flow rate in the system. check the units.
