1.1. Compute the density (in units of m) of an ideal gas under the following
conditions:
(a) At 0 °C and 760 Torr pressure (1 Torr=1 mmHg). This is called the
Loschmidt number.
(b) In a vacuum of 103 Torr at room temperature (20 °C). This number is a
useful one for the experimentalist to know by heart (10 3 Torr 1 µ).
This was wrong. Can you solve this again with these numbers?
What is the root mean square velocity, vrms, for Hydrogen molecules (H2) at 20oC?
Hint: How many amu does an H2 molecule contain.
1 amu = 1.67 x 10-27 kg
Boltzman's Constant, k = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K
Give your answer in m/s to 4 significant figures (NO DECIMALS)
2.26. The Prandtl number, Npr, is a dimensionless group important in heat-transfer calculations. It is defined
as Cpulk, where C, is the heat capacity of a fluid, u is the fluid viscosity, and k is the thermal conductivity.
For a particular fluid, C, = 0.583 J/(g-°C), k = 0.286 W/(m-°C), and u = 1936 lbm/(ft-h). Estimate the
%3D
value of Npr without using a calculator (remember, it is dimensionless), showing your calculations; then
determine it with a calculator.
