- In the chapter on fluid mechanics, Bernoulli's equation for the flow of incompressible fluids was explained in terms of changes affecting a small volume dV of fluid. Such volumes are a fundamental idea in the study of the flow of compressible fluids such as gases as well. For the equations of hydrodynamics to apply, the mean free path must be much less than the linear size of such a volume, adV1/3 . For air in the stratosphere at a temperature of 220 K and a pressure of 5.8 kPa, how big should a be for it to be 100 times the mean free path? Take the effective radius of air molecules to be 1.881011 m, which is roughly correct for N2.arrow_forwardSuppose a skier standing in the shade is completely clothed in white (head to foot, including a ski mask), with clothes that have an emissivity of 0.200 and a surface temperature of 12.5°C.
