Which of the following is an advantage of a laminar boundary layer over a turbulent one? a). a laminar boundary layer has less skin friction drag b). a laminar boundary layer is more resistant to separation than a turbulent boundary layer c). a laminar boundary layer is thicker than a turbulent boundary layer d). the magnitude of a laminar boundary layer's velocity gradient (dv/dy) is greater than that of a turbulent boundary layer

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

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.

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false
