Center Temperature -- Electric Current Passed Through a Wire

Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problem(s). An electric current of 200 A is passed through a stainless steel wire having a radius of 0.001268 m. The length of the wire L is 0.91m and has a resistance of 0.126 ohms. The outer surface temperature Ts is held at 422.1 K. The average conductivity is k=22.5 W/m ...continues

Showing Equivalence of Two Flow Equations

Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problem. I am trying to show that the following two equations are equivalent: Re[(1/St)*(∂ω/∂t) – del x (u x ω)] + del x (del x ω) = 0 Re[(1/St)*(∂ω/∂t) + u • del ω] = Re ω • del u + del2 ω Where u is ...continues

A fluid is flowing one moving plate

A fluid is flowing between two flat plates where one of the plates is moving at a constant velocity of Vw in the same direction. Derive the velocity profile for fluid flow in the x-direction. Show that it is linear. Determine the momentum flux at the moving wall. Assumptions -lamina flow -incompressible -isothermal -stead ...continues
