Asmooth flat plate 1.5 m wide and 20 m long is subjected to flow of water along its length with a velocity of 2 m/s. find the (i) extent of the laminar boundary layer of the plate taking the critical reynolds number to be 5 x 105 the thickness of the boundary layer at the edge of the laminar boundary layer and at the trailing edge (iii)the shear stress at the trailing edge.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Steam enters a converging nozzle at 3.0 mpa and 500°c with a negligible velocity, and it exits at 1.8 mpa. for a nozzle exit area of 32 cm2, determine the exit velocity, mass flow rate, and exit mach number if the nozzle: is isentropic (a) (b) has an efficiency of 94 percent
