In a steady flow through a nozzle, the flow velocity on the nozzle axis is given by $$u = {u_0}\left( {1 + 3x/L} \right),\,\,$$ where $$x$$ is the distance along the axis of the nozzle from its inlet plane and $$L$$ is the length of the nozzle. The time required for a fluid particle on the axis to travel from the inlet to the exit plane of the nozzle is .

Oil in a hydraulic cylinder is compressed from an initial volume $$2{m^3}$$ to $$1.96{m^3}$$. If the pressure of oil in the cylinder changes from $$40$$ $$MPa$$ to $$80$$ $$MPa$$ during compression, the bulk modulus of elasticity of oil is .........

In a counter flow heat exchanger, hot fluid enters at $${65^ \circ }C$$ and cold fluid leaves at $${30^ \circ }C.$$ mass flow rate of the hot fluid is $$1$$ $$Kg/s$$ and that of cold fluid is $$2$$ $$kg/s$$. Specific heat of the hot fluid is $$10$$ $$kgK$$ and that of cold fluid is $$5$$ $$kj/kgK.$$ The $$LMTD$$ for the heat ecchanger is

The average heat transfer coefficient on a thin hot vertical plate suspended in still air can be determined from observations of the change in plate temperature with time as it cools. Assume the plate temp to be uniform at any instant of time and radiation heat exchange with the surroundings is negligible. The ambient temperature is $${25^ \circ }C,$$ the plate has a total surface area of $$0.1{m^2}$$ and a mass of $$4$$ kg.

The specific heat of the plate material is $$2.5KJ/KgK.$$ The convective heat transfer coefficient in $$W/{m^2}K,$$ at instant when the plate temp is $${225^ \circ }C$$ and the change in plate temp with time $$dT/dt=-0.02K/s,$$ is
