Solution on all other sites including this site are wrong Only attempt if previously not attempted. Answer part a and b A) Among the nondimensional numbers, in free convection, average Nusselt number depends on only Grashof and Prandtl numbers. only Grashof number. Rayleigh number. Reynolds number. B) For ideal gases, the specific heat capacity at constant pressure, thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, and Prandtl number are independent of pressure. How will the ratio of thicknesses of velocity boundary layer and thermal boundary layer change if pressure is increased from 1 atm to 5 atm for the flow of an ideal gas over a flat plate? We need to know the actual fluid properties to tell It will remain the same. It will decrease by a factor of 5. It will increase by a factor of 5.
Saved Help Required information Sometimes equations can be developed and practical problems solved by knowing nothing more than the dimensions of the key parameters. For example, consider the heat loss through a window in a building. Window efficiency is rated in terms of R value, which has the unit of ft2-hr-°F/Btu. A certain manufacturer offers a double-pane window with R=2.5 and also a triple-pane window with R= 3.4. Both windows are 3.5 ft by 5 ft. On a given winter day, the temperature difference between the inside and outside is 45°F. Assume that a homeowner buys 20 such triple-pane windows for the house. A typical winter equals about 120 heating days at AT = 45°F. Each triple-pane window costs $85 more than a double-pane window. Ignoring interest and inflation, how many years will it take the homeowner to make up the additional cost of the triple-pane windows from heating bill savings? years Save & Exit Subm Check my work

..P15 A horizontal cylinder 10 cm in diameter contains helium gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. A piston keeps the gas inside a region of the cylinder 20 cm long. (a) If you quickly pull the piston outward a distance of 12 cm, what is the approximate temperature of the helium immediately afterward? What approximations did you make? (b) How much work did you do, including sign? (Note that you need to consider the outside air as well as the inside helium in calculating the amount of work you do.) (c) Immediately after the pull, what force must you exert on the piston to hold it in position (with the helium enclosed in a volume that is 20 + 12 = 32 cm long)? (d) You wait while the helium slowly returns to room temperature, maintaining the piston at its current location. After this wait, what force must you exert to hold the piston in position? (e) Next, you very slowly allow the piston to move back into the cylinder, stopping when the region of helium gas is 25 cm long.…
