Consider two identical fans, one at sea level and the other on top of a high mountain, running at identical speeds. how would you compare (a) the volume flow rates and (b) the mass flow rates of these two fans?

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

On solidification from a melt, the polymer polyethylene forms a semi-crystalline spherulite structure. (i) sketch an individual spherulite and label the amorphous and crystalline regions. (ii) draw a schematic to show the changes in specific volume with temperature during cooling from the melt, comparing it to the theoretical extremes of fully crystalline and fully amorphous (indicate tm and tg)

Aspherical thermocouple measurement errors a spherical thermocouple made of constantin transfer coefficient between the gas and the thermocouple is h used to measure the temperature of a gas. the heat 400 w/m2 k. calculate the maximum diameter d of the thermocouple if the thermocouple's measurement error should be w 23 within 5% of the initial temperature difference in 5 seconds. for constantin, k 8920 kg/m3, and c 410 j/kg. k.
