Argon gas enters an adiabatic compressor at 14 psia and 75oF with a velocity of 60 ft/s, and it exits at 200 psia and 240 ft/s. If the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 87 percent, determine (a) the exit temperature of the argon and (b) the work input to the compressor. [20]

Hydraulic fluid with a sg. of 0.78 is flowing through a 1.5 in. i.d. pipe at 58 gal/min. the fluid has an absolute viscosity of 11.8 x 105 lbf-sec/ft2. is the flow laminar, turbulent or within the critical range? give both a numerical reynolds number and a term answer.

Amass-spring-viscous damper system of mass 3 kg has a frequency of 100 rad/s and is critically damped. its initial conditions are x(0)-3 mm and (0)-2.3 m/s. does the system overshoot its equilibrium position? prove your answer

Acircular pipe of 30mm outside diameter is placed in an airstream at 30 c and latm pressure. the air moves in cross flow over the pipe at 20 m/s, while the outer surface of the pipe is maintained at 110 c. what is the drag force exerted on the pipe per unit length? what is the rate of heat transfer from the pipe per unit length?
