Chapter 8 - Problem 8.C1

Thermal conductivity at high pressures...




Chapter 8 - Problem 8.B1

The Prandtl number is essential for the estimation of heat transfer coefficients.




Chapter 8 - Problem 8.A1

The problem illustrates a way to predict thermal conductivities based on the Chapman-Enskog theory. However, engineers use polynomial regressions based on experimental data.

Chapter 6 - Problem 6.L2

This problem iluustrates the error obtained by using the concept of hydraulic radius for laminar flow.








Chapter 6 - Problem 6.K2

This is a very interesting problem. Just take a good look at the derivation of the Reynold's number for a non-newtonian fluid that can be modeled with the power law approach.



Chapter 6 - Problem 6.J2

This problem illustrates the derivation of a correlation to determine the friction factor based on Reynolds number for smooth pipes. However, pipes are not 100% smooth...






Chapter 6 - Problem 6.H2

With this problem, we derive expressions to determine the friction factor for a rotating disk. I believe this can be applied for the study of rotating equipment.
