1. Briefly state the use for each of the following types of engineered lumber : laminatedveneer lumber (LVL ), glue-laminated beams (glulams ), parallel - strand lumber (PSL) , and laminated strand lumber (LSL).

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux

Shafts are machine elements that are used to a) carry axial loads b) direct shear loads c) transmit power d) rotate at constant speed e) none of the above circular and square shafts subjected to the same torque under the same circum behave a) the same way b) almost the same way

Natural gas (95 percent methane and 5 percent ethane by volume) flows through a 90 cm diameter pipeline with a velocity of 3 m/s. the pressure in the pipeline is 700 kpa, and the temperature is 15°c. calculate: (a) the mass and volumetric flow rates in this pipe.
