Using the information in Problem 1.22, estimate the ambient air temperature that could cause frostbite on a calm day on the ski slopes. 1.22 In order to prevent frostbite to skiers on chair lifts, the weather report at most ski areas gives both an air temperature and the wind-chill temperature. The air temperature is measured with a thermometer that is not affected by the wind. However, the rate of heat loss from the skier increases with wind velocity, and the wind-chill temperature is the temperature that would result in the same rate of heat loss in still air as occurs at the measured air temperature with the existing wind. Suppose that the inner temperature of a 3-mm-thick layer of skin with a thermal conductivity of 0.35W/mKis35C and the air temperature is 20C. Under calm ambient conditions the heat transfer coefficient at the outer skin surface is about 20W/m2K (see Table 1.4), but in a 40-mph wind it increases to 75W/m2K. If frostbite occurs when the skin temperature drops to about 10C, do you advise the skier to wear a face mask? What is the skin temperature drop due to the wind?

A differential equation encountered in the vibration of beams is d4ydx4=2D where x = distance measured along the beam; [x]=[L] y = displacement of the beam; [y]=[L] = circular frequency of vibration; []=[T1] = mass of the beam per unit length; []=[ML1] D = bending rigidity of beam; [D]=[FL2] Show that the equation is dimensionally homogeneous. Note that [F]=[MLT2] see Eq. (1.21:).

7.1 To measure the mass flow rate of a fluid in a laminar flow through a circular pipe, a hot-wire-type velocity meter is placed in the center of the pipe. Assuming that the measuring station is far from the entrance of the pipe, the velocity distribution is parabolic: where is the centerline velocity (r = 0), r is the radial distance from the pipe centerline, and D is the pipe diameter. Derive an expression for the average fluid velocity at the cross section in terms of and D. (b) Obtain an expression for the mass flow rate. (c) If the fluid is mercury at , D = 10 cm, and the measured value of is 0.2 cm/s, calculate the mass flow rate from the measurement.
