Air flows over a 3 m long flat plate. experimental measurements show the boundary layer remains laminar over the length of the plate. (a)-determine the fastest likely velocity for laminar flow (re 5x10) (b)-determine the boundary layer thickness for this condition (c)-would a lower velocity increase or decrease the boundary layer thickness? explain your answer. (d)-what is the total drag on the plate (both sides) if the plate is 10m wide. (e)-what is the displacement thickness of the boundary layer at the end of the plate.

Which of the following is an easy way to remember the modified “x” tire rotation? a. nondrive wheels straight, cross the drive wheels b. drive wheels straight, cross the nondrive wheels c. drive wheels crossed, nondrive wheels straight d. drive wheels crossed, nondrive wheels crossed

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
