A manufacturer makes two types of drinking straws: one with a square cross-sectional shape, and the other type the typical round shape. The amount of material in each straw is to be the same. That is, the length of the perimeter of the cross section of each shape is the same. For a given pressure drop, what is the ratio of the flowrates through the straws?

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.

Agas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly e end nation about same energy states, 1 and 2, where pi 10 bar, v undergoes two processes, a and b, between the sam 0.1 m3, ui-400 kj and p2 1 bar, v2 1.0 m2, u2 200 kj: process a: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure- volume relation is pv constant process b: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to +20 0 state 2 kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, (a) sketch the process on p-v coordinates, (b) evaluate the work, in kj, and (c) evaluate process the heat transfer, in kj

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?
