3. Consider the following equation. All three of the terms in parentheses are dimensionless groups. Because kc is difficult to determine directly, the other variables are measured and kc is calculated from the given equation. 26 THERMODYNAMICS 1 MODULE 1 FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS ]3 [ _d>vp_jo8 p DAB kc D = 0.023 [H DAB What is the estimated value of kc? What are the units of kc? Show your work. The following values were measured: D = 8.0 mm, DAB = 0.475 cm²/s, µ = 1.12 x 103 N-s/m², p = 1.00 x 10-³ g/cm³, v = 15.0 m/s.
A constant volume gas thermometer is used to determine the temperature of an unknown fluid. Pressure data for thermometer in the unknown bath (P) and a Triple Point Cell (P) are given below. P[Torr] 100.0 P [Torr] 127.9 200.0 256.5 300.0 385.8 400.0 516.0 What is the temperature of the unknown fluid bath? explain and show all work please and write clearly
To understand the heat transfer from a bar in cross flow, you conduct a series of experiments measuring the average heat transfer coefficient as a function of the free stream velocity. A schematic of the experiment and the accompanying results are shown below. L = 0.3 m h [W/m²-K] 60 40 V [m/s] 20 15 a) You expect the important dimensionless parameters to be related by a function of the form Nu = CRe Pr where C, m, and n are constants. The film temperature in both the experiments is approximately the same. Use the given experimental results to determine the constant m b) Calculate h for L = 0.75 m and V = 30 m/s.
