Concept and Importance of Reynold's Number, and Practice Calculating It. Concept of Pressures, both static and dynamic pressure.

Table I contains data for a larval tunicate and a shortfin Mako shark swimming in sea water at 15°C. Use these data in the following problems:

Tunicate shark cruise shark burst
Animals length 2 mm 4 meters 4 meters
Swim speed 10 mm s-1 70 km hr-1 144 km hr-1
dynamic viscosity 15°C 1.1375 mPa s
kinematic viscosity 15°C 1.1386 mm2 sec-1
density sea water 15 °C 1.025kg L-1

A. (1pt) Calculate the Reynolds numbers for the tunicate, the shark while cruising, and the shark during burst swimming. Show your work. Will inertial or viscous forces dominate the swimming behavior in each case?

B. (1pt) Is the flow likely to be laminar or turbulent in each situation?

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
