At a point in a circular duct with inner diameter of 0.200 m, the flow is fully developed and the air flow average velocity is 10.0 m/s with a mean temperature of 20.0° C. At a point exactly 5.00 m downstream, the mean temperature is 30.0° C. It is known that the wall temperature of the duct was held at a constant temperature between these two points. Find this wall temperature.

The leak was detected 30 mins after it started in which time the amount of liquid in the vessel decreased by 0.0015 m3 . The leak is due to a corrosion that causes a circular hole of radius 5 mm on the surface of the tank. Saturation conditions can be assumed to exist in the vessel. (Hint: Use property table to determine properties at 500 kPa)

1) Reynolds number represents the ratio of viscous force to the
inertia force.
2) The entrance length (Le) for turbulent flow is greater than that
for laminar flow for the same pipe diameter.
3) Increase the fluid viscosity leads to decrease the

b) A 15 MW gas turbine plant operates with a two-stage compression and a two-stage
expansion. The high-pressure turbine (HPT) drives both low-pressure compressor
(LPC) and high-pressure compressor (HPC). A low-pressure turbine (LPT) is connected
to a generator for electricity generation The overall pressure ratio is 16/1 and the
