You are heating airflow in a long, round tube. The tube is irradiated uniformly, on all sides, with a constant thermal heat flux q". Inside the tube, the air flows with a known heat flux mdot and constant, known properties. The tube has a length L and a diameter D. This is your baseline case. You then add a helical coil inside the tube that stirs up the airflow and doubles the value of h over the baseline case. a) How does the design change impact the temperature of the airflow? b) How does the design change impact the temperature of the tube wall

A speaker is placed at the opening of a long horizontal tube. The speaker oscillates at a frequency of f creating a wave that moves down the tube. The wave moves through the tube at a speed of v=330 m/s.  At time t= 0s an air molecule at x=1m is at the maximum displacement of 5 nm. At the same time another molecule at x=3.7m has a displacement of 3.5nm. What is the wave function of the sound?
