Consider the Concorde supersonic transport flying at twice the speed of sound at an altitude of 16 km. At a point on the wing, the metal surface temperature is 362 K. The immediate layer of air in contact with the wing at that point has the same temperature and is at a pressure of 1.04 × 10 4 N/m^2. Calculate the air density at this point

A square thermal window is constructed of two sheets of flat glass, each 4.00 mm thick, separated by 5.00 mm of stationary air. If the inside of the window is at 20.0 oC, the external one at -30.0 oC and the cross-sectional area of the window is 6.00 m2, determine for the steady state: kglass= 0,80 W/(m*K); kair= 0,024 W(m*K) a) If the air layer is removed and the two glass sheets are glued together. what's the new heat current? Is the standing air layer important?b) Discuss what would happen if the air between the two glasses were not stationary.

In 2085, your company wins a contract to deliver oxygen to several asteroid-based habitats from another asteroid with plenty of oxygen locked up in ice. Since there is no drag in space, the size of the oxygen containers is not an issue, and the most economical method turns out to be to enclose about 6 x 105 kilograms of cold but gaseous oxygen at about half atmospheric pressure in a Mylar sphere 100 m in diameter. To the sphere, you have strapped a small rocket engine. While the engine is firing, the engine presses into the sphere roughly 10 meters, like a finger pushing in on a balloon, as the sphere accelerates. The engine exerts a constant thrust until the sphere reaches its interasteroidal cruising speed of 100 m/s. The sphere travels about 5.0 km while the engine is firing. What fraction of the energy the rocket engine has given to the sphere ends up as internal energy in the gas just before the engine shuts off?
