Consider a thin-walled, ﬁ xed-volume container of volume V that holds an ideal gas at constant temperature T. It can be shown by dimensional analysis that the number of particles striking the walls of the container per unit area per unit time is given by nv-/4, where as usual n is the particle number density. The container has a small hole of area A in its surface through which the gas can leak slowly. Assume that A is much less than the surface area of the container. (a) Assuming that the pressure inside the container is much greater than the outside pressure (so that no gas will leak from the outside back in), estimate the time it will take for the pressure inside to drop to half the initial value. Your answer should contain A, V, and the mean molecular speed v-. (b) Obtain a numerical result for a spherical container with a diameter of 40 cm containing air at 293 K, if there is a circular hole of diameter 1.0 mm in the surface.
Oxygen gas at a temperature of 27°C at atmospheric pressure flows in parallel at 20 m/s over a square thin plate with a side of 10 cm. Since the plate is held at 127°C, what is the heat transfer from the plate to the fluid? Heat transfer (W) takes place from only one surface of the plate
Merrill et al. (1965) in a series of classic experiments studied the flow of blood in capillary tubes of various diameters. The blood had a hematocrit of 39.3 and the temperature was 20°C. They measured the pressure drop as a function of the flow rate for five tube diameters ranging from 288 to 850 μm. When they expressed the measured pressure drops in terms of the wall shear stress, and the volumetric flow rates in terms of the reduced average velocity, all of the data for the various tube sizes formed, within the experimental accuracy, a single line as predicted by the Rabinowitsch equation expressed in terms of reduced average velocity. From their results they provide the following values of the Casson parameters at 20°C: τy = 0.0289 dynes cm−2 and s = 0.229 (dynes s cm−2)1/2. Using these values for τy and s, show that the equation below for reduced average velocity provides an excellent fit to their data summarized in the following table.

The velocity of the mercury at T_∞=250 o C is U_∞=0.033m/sec, and it flows over the pipe bundle of D= 1.25 cm diameter and L=1.2m length. The ratio of the vertical and diagonal spacing distances for the pipes in the shifted plate arrangement is ST /D=SD /D= 1.405. It consists of a matrix with the number of pipe rows in the horizontal direction NL=60 and the number of pipe rows in the vertical direction NT=30. Pipe wall (surface) temperatures are kept at a uniform temperature of T_w=160 o C. Accordingly, find the average heat transfer coefficient, the total heat transfer coefficient from the mercury to the pipe bundle. (Variables: ST /D=SD /D= 0.75-1.975, U=0.02-0.07m/s, L=0.5-1.4m)
