Students have asked these similar questions
When ventilating the patient on a time-cycled/pressure-limited ventilator, what parameters determine the tidal volume delivered? How can these values increase tidal volume? How can they decrease tidal volume?
[I asked this question previously, but the responce was incorrect]
I was advised to input equations (smooth tubes : f=0.790 ln Re - 1.64)^2 3000<Re<5x10^6 and Nu=0.125(Re)(Pr)^1/3
In the effort to find the best way to cool a smooth thin-walled copper tube, an engineer decided to flow air either through the tube or across the outer tube surface. The tube has a diameter of 6 cm, and the surface temperature is maintained constant.
Determine the convection heat transfer coefficient when air is flowing through a thin-walled tube at 25 m/s with bulk mean temperature of 50°C.
