The boundary-layer thickness, δ, on a smooth flat plate in an incompressible flow without pressure gradients depends on the freestream speed, U, the fluid density, p, the fluid viscosity, μ, and the distance from the leading edge of the plate, x. (a) Express these variables in dimensionless form and (b) calculate dimensionless parameter (proportional to x) with x = 0.141 m, p = 232 kg/m3, U-0.146 m/s, μ = 0.5 x 104 N-s/m2

When at a point two solid phase changes to one solid phase on cooling then it is known as a) eutectoid point b) eutectic point c) peritectic point d) peritectoid point

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
