Problem 1 Consider air at standard temperature and pressure flowing steadily over a smooth flat plate. The air flows with a free-stream velocity of 5 m/s and the plate has a length of 2 m. Calculate the boundary layer thickness 2 cm from the leading edge, and at the trailing edge of the plate at x

Precipitation hardening can be achieved in many light alloys by a three-step heat treatment. what is carried out and what is the purpose at each step? why is such a treatment necessary based on the nucleation and growth theory of phase transformation. compare this treatment with tempering martensite for carbon steels (similarities and differences).

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.

Consider a spherical container of inner radius , outer radius r2, and thermal conductivity k. express the boundary condition on the inner surface of the container for steady one-dimensional conduction for the following cases: (a) specified temperature of 50°c, (b) specified heat flux of 30 w/m2 toward the center, (c) convection to a medium at t with a heat transfer coefficient of h
