What are the selection criteria for pump and motor? justify your points.

Modern high speed trains do not have perpendicular expansion gaps where rails are joined end-to-end any more they are mostly welded together but what might happen if there was a spell of particularly hot weather that causes inspection of the tracks?

Consider airflow over a flat plate of length l = 1.5 m under conditions for which transition occurs at le = 0.9 m based on the critical reynolds number, re,e = 5 x 10. evaluating the thermophysical properties of air at 400 k, determine the air velocity. (hint: use the tables to find the properties of air)

Acircular pipe of 30mm outside diameter is placed in an airstream at 30 c and latm pressure. the air moves in cross flow over the pipe at 20 m/s, while the outer surface of the pipe is maintained at 110 c. what is the drag force exerted on the pipe per unit length? what is the rate of heat transfer from the pipe per unit length?
