The life of a power transmission tower is exponentially distributed, with mean life 25 years. If three towers, operated independently, are being erected at the same time, what is the probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years?

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2

Carbon dioxide gas expands isotherm a turbine from 1 mpa, 500 k at 200 kpa. assuming the ideal gas model and neglecting the kinetic and potential energies, determine the change in entropy, heat transfer and work for each kilogram of co2.
