Determine the velocity of the ball at the points of the trajectory described by the ball where the radius of curvature is equal to three-quarters of its value at A.
If the air temperature is 60F at standard atmospheric pressure at sea level, and if the differential gage rads a pressure difference of 15psf, what is the air velocity?
The atmospheric pressure at a location is usually specified at standard conditions, but it changes with the weather conditions. As the weather forecasters frequently state, the atmospheric pressure
Assuming a transition Reynolds number of 5 x 105, determine the distance from the leading edge of a flat plate at which transition will occur for each of the following fluids when u∞ = 1 m/s:
A manometer connected to the tap shows a head of 0.14 in. of mercury above atmospheric. Determine the approximate speed of the air leaving the nozzle if it is at 40°F and 14.7 psia.
A plane wall, 7.5 cm thick, generates heat internally at the rate of w/m^3. One side of the wall is insulated, and the other side is exposed to an environment at 90 degrees celsius.
Assuming negligible internal resistance, derive a differential equation that could be solved to determine the rod temperature as a function of time during the heating process.

Refrigerant 134a at 700 kPa and 40oC is expanded adiabatically in a closed system to 60 kPa. Determine the work produced, in kJ/kg, and final enthalpy for an isentropic expansion efficiency of 80 pe
A 30-cm-diameter, 5-m-long steam pipe passes through a room where the air temperature is 20 C. If the exposed surface of the pipe is a uniform 40 C, find the rate of heat loss from the pipe to the
A dynamics student is called on to investigate a two-car collision. It's known that car A struck car B. Mass of car A is 2000 kg and mass of car B is 1200 kg. Both Car A and B then skidded 8 meters.
What mass of waste brine is expelled in one day? What is the ratio of the mass of fresh water produced to the mass of water in the incoming brine?
The potential for air pollution by particulate matter (PM2.5 and/or PM10) is best assessed by constructing the terminal velocity vs. particle size diagram.
The final pressure in cylinder reaches 200 kPa after the heating process, find the temperature of the contents in the cylinder at the end of the process.
The emission of an air pollutant is often influenced more by reaction kinetics than by chemical equilibrium. Verify whether this is true for a hypothetical case of hydrocarbon (methane) combustion.
The final pressure is 1.4 MPa. Determine the work and the heat transfer for the process (both in kJ/kg), assuming ideal gas behavior.
