The air is supplied at a rate of 0.5 m3/s through an air filter with a 0.5 m2 cross-section. If the pressure drop across the filter is 0.25 cm water after one hour of use, determine the life of the filter if a filter change is required when the pressure drop is 2.5 cm of water.

- A sphere of diameter 10 mm and density 7700 kg/ m3 falls under gravity at terminal conditions through a liquid of density 900 kg/ m3 in a tube of diameter 12 mm. After reaching terminal velocity, the ball falls 5 cm in 31.3 seconds. Using the Francis wall correction factor: fw = (1-x/D)2.25 where x is the particle diameter and D is the diameter of the tube and fw is the wall factor (the velocity in the tube / velocity in an infinitely large tube), determine the: a) viscosity (Pa s) of the fluid if Stokes law applies (Correct Answers: 4.118) b) Reynolds number if the fluid viscosity is given in the previous part (Correct Answers: 0.1967) c) minimum viscosity where the Re <= 0.3 (Correct Answers: 2.7) I need help with the steps!

So it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thick and heavy old-fashioned coats. Consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 W/m·K) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 W/m·K) between the layers. Assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°C and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°C and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 W/m2·K. What would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? What should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 W/m·K) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a…arrow_forward
