Water flows steadily through a 3.57-in-diameter pipe and discharges through a 2.06-in-diameter nozzle to atmospheric pressure. The flow rate is 26.1 gpm. (a) Calculate the minimum static pressure required in the pipe to produce this flow rate. (b) Evaluate the axial force of the nozzle assembly on the pipe flange.

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Machinery that is a key part of the process and without which the plant or process cannot function is classifed as: (clo4) a)-critical machinery b)-essential machinery c)-general purpose machinery d)-none of the specified options.
