Hydraulic fluid with a sg. of 0.78 is flowing through a 1.5 in. i.d. pipe at 58 gal/min. the fluid has an absolute viscosity of 11.8 x 105 lbf-sec/ft2. is the flow laminar, turbulent or within the critical range? give both a numerical reynolds number and a term answer.

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)

Plot schematically the tensile stress versus strain curves for a typical thermoplastic material at a temperature below its glass transition temperature (tg and at a temperature above its tg, respectively. do the same for a typical thermosetting material. list in a table any differences or similarities between the two materials at t> tg and t < tg, respectively, and relate them to the structures of the two types of polymers
